Last night, while walking home from "Fuerza Bruta" (go see it!!), we came across Madison Square Park blanketed in the first snowfall of the year:
Or was it?
Not really, since the rest of the city is decidedly NOT covered in snow. Actually, it seems like they must be filming something set during the winter, since they put a whole lot of effort into trucking in snow machines and blanketing four whole blocks in man-made snow, then proceeding to rope it all off with caution tape.
It was just a funny thing to all of a sudden step into a winter wonderland and then right out of it again. Only in New York, huh?
Has your area had its first snowfall yet?
I was in the city last weekend with friends who were visiting, and right near Fox News there was a bit of snow as well. My TX pal decided to go play in it and I have since posted the pictures on Facebook. Oh New York, gotta love it! I'll have to look into that show! (We see Bloody Bloody AJ last weekend, and I loved it! Have you seen it?
ReplyDeleteThis totally reminds me of that part in RENT where they say "Maybe it's not the moon at all - I hear Spike Lee's filming down the street..." Sorry I'm a total RENThead!
ReplyDelete@Stelle: Haven't seen it yet, but totally want to! Have heard mixed reviews, but really want to see for myself!
ReplyDelete@Deanna: GREAT Rent reference. <3 it!
Hmmm... I know they've been filming Man on a Ledge around mid-town, I wonder if that could be it?
ReplyDelete@Dancy: Someone told me today that they thought it was the new Jim Carrey movie...don't remember what she said it was called.
ReplyDeleteIt was Carrey's "Mr. Poppins Penquins" from what I heard.
ReplyDeleteHad our first snow fall today :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteI heard it was a Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston movie.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see some snowfall in NYC soon! Will be there in a week's time :) Really excited.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely was 'Mr. Popper's Penguins', I was lucky enough to see Jim Carrey shooting a scene right in this location!
ReplyDeleteYep it was Mr Popper's Penguins. I live on the UES, and they blanketed from park over to 5th with snow as well for filming, then I saw a scene being filmed. It was pretty awesome =o)
