Paris Nights Theme
Southern Afternoon ThemeBroadway and 88th Street, 1971 shot by Nicholas West. It’s an uneventful video but interesting to see normal, everyday life in the neighborhood I live in, long before I was ever here. Here’s Google Street View of the same location.
Calm before the storm? Central Park reservoir this afternoon.

Central Park, New York City, NY.
Curb Your Enthusiasm will be shooting right in front of my apartment this Wednesday. I’m working from home that day so I’ll be in full gawk mode.

Upper West Side brownstone from When Harry Met Sally
I stumbled on the exterior of a brownstone used for this scene from When Harry Met Sally — it’s on W. 89th street between Columbus and Central Park West (show in Google Street View).
Stills from the movie:
The Dakota circa 1890.
What strikes me most about this picture is how much urban development happened in the subsequent 60 years or so. By the 1950s, New York as we know it was starting to take shape. In this picture, the UWS looks downright desolate.
My building was built around 1880 or 1890 - so it’s somewhere about 20 blocks north of this.
