Celluloid City


My neighborhood used to be a collection of artist studios, drug dens and mob fronts. Oh how times have changed! Long Island City is now hoppin'. We are at a crossroads here in western Queens. There are still some really shitty parts of the hood. But there is now enough money pumping in thanks to the water front high rises, that we have some really nice spots too. What does this all mean? Where are you going with this, Listy? I am here to tell you that my little neighborhood is the newest place for film and TV location shooting. We not only have "seedy" spots but we also have a great view of the city from the water and we are just a few blocks south of Silver Cup Studios. I have taken some notes over the past years and here is my list of

8 Movies & TV Shows That Were (Are) Shot In My Neighborhood
1) The Interpreter (the last scene)
2) Munich ( again last scene)
3) Law & Order CI
4) Law & Order SVU
5) Third Watch
6) The Black Donelleys (this is new and starts at the end of February)
7) The Knights Of Prosperity
8) Boy Meets Grill

Ah, Boy Meets Grill! We always watch that and try to figure out exactly where he is in Queens.

He is at this warehouse space on Vernon Blvd. For a long time we thought it was at Silver Cup but they have no outside space like that!

I just want to hang out outside and eat his leftovers.
