She is definitely a model and I love how smart she is even if she's just reading the script and looking good at the same time but it is nice to see parts of NYC I may not see for a while until I come back to NY
Can't say that I'm all that nostalgic about NYC but its fun to play internet tourist and check out the key locations. I've never been to NYC and Ella makes an excellent tour guide. I've been wondering about Mad Men. Don't know what I've been missing.
Miss Morton, that was an excellent breakdown of a few days' classy journey through Manhattan. (Even JJ's, which has been covering my family for generations.) I'd suggest a drink at PJ Clarke's, an afternoon at the Forbes Gallery, a film at the Tower East or The Paris, and, if you know a member, dinner at the New York Athletic Club. Oh, and the Morgan Library, specifically the section which has remained unchanged since the old man died.
Rocketboom, you should do a segment on The Dakota. When it was being built in the 1880's, people thought it was going to be a failure because living in apartments had yet to become a necessity for New Yorkers. So not only was it the first to make apartment life something more mainstream, but it simulatneously made it fashionable for the rich. Plus, there's its list of famous inhabitants, such as John Lennon and *ahem* Yoko Ono. Yeah, that has segment written all over it!
@TheHill88 The carousel scene is truly brilliant. And Sardi's is where the Bobbie Barrett...ahem..."encounter" happened. Who could forget that magical moment?
@Dancingstagequeen Correction: Woolworth's no longer exists as a store under the Woolworth's name. They are only known by the Foot Locker brand nowadays. There is a Woolworth's building in NYC, but sadly no Woolworth's owned company still resides in that building.
And how could I forget Patsy's Pizzeria! The real one up on 117th and 1st, not any of the imitators that have sprung up all over town. The Lancieris made the best piece of pizza in New York, and that continues 77 years later. The Yankees used to stop in all the time, Sinatra was a fan, and Coppola planned out "The Godfather" in the dining room. It doesn't get any more Old New York than that.
lol at the "firsts" and lol at the ppl who are trolled by the "firsts" and lol at ppl who comment on the ppl who are trolled by the "firsts" and lol at... >_>
I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR BEING INSIDE THE TAXI WITH THOSE 3 EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN INSTEAD OF THAT GUY (IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIM, I WOULD BE ENJOYING THAT SEEN AND NOT CONCENTRATING IN ACTING SO THEY WOULD NEED TO RE CAPTURE THE SCENE 100000000000 MILLION TIMES!!!!!!!)
