Re: Ask about New York thread!

It is super hard to drag me out of my borough (Manhattan). People ask me to visit them in Brooklyn and I'm like, "WHAT? CRAZY TALK."

The courts in Manhattan are near City Hall, in the financial district. I did jury duty there. They also film all of the Law and Orders there on like, the same week. When the courts are closed (usually in the summer), they get a period of time for shooting, so they film every court scene they're going to need for every franchise in the next year because the steps are available. So they'll have Ice Cube or whoever do a scene with the DA, go back to their trailers, change into winter clothes, go out and do another scene, over and over.

To get to a courthouse from Hell's Kitchen you would take the 1 train at 50th and Broadway and get off at Franklin or Chambers Street, or you could take a bus, like the M20 or the M13. That's what Matt would probably do. It would be annoyingly slow but it would be more handicapped-friendly.
