FICTIONAL FLOORPLAN OF THE WEEK: JERRY’S APARTMENT FROM SEINFELD We know better than anyone that New Yorkers LOVE floorplans.  We treat them like a work of art. For all the floorplan lovers out there, now available on the website Etsy are dozens of prints of the most famous fictional homes of television all created true to form by artist Iñaki Aliste Lizarralde.   Upon viewing these, it gave us a great idea  Let’s dissect one fictional TV floorplan at a time and ask some of our local expert agents in that area how much that unit would sell for today if it was on the actual market. What better home to start with than Jerry’s Upper West Side 1 bedroom on 81st Street from the hit New York City based comedy, Seinfeld.  Let’s say George, Elaine, and Kramer convinced Jerry to sell today due to the low inventory and a heavy demand for the Upper West Side, he would have quite a few ‘anti-dentites’ and re-gifters lining up to buy. Here is what two of our West Side Experts had to say: Jill Sloane, Executive Vice President “In real life this is a rental building. Based on the location, size, condition and the low inventory of today’s market I would price this apt. at $699,000. It would most likely have a bidding war based on those factors and that comedian Jerry Seinfeld lived there.”   Mark D. Friedman, Executive Vice President “It is an Elevator building and Bedroom is small. It would of course also be determined by the maintenance and financials of building. If it was decent I would say $649,000-$725,000.” There you have it, so if we lived in Bizarro Jerry World, the stand-up comic on the show should make out quite all right with around a $700,000 pay day. If you are looking for 1 Bedrooms on the Upper West Side in real life, here are some great ones.

Move over Hollywood, NYC is the New Tinseltown The Big Apple is no stranger to showbiz, we are the home of Broadway after all, and many world famous movie scenes contain undeniable NYC settings. Breakfast at Tiffany’s,  King Kong, and West Side Story are just a few iconic movies depicting a New York City back drop. Moreover, anyone with hopes and aspirations to “make it big”  in the entertainment industry knows a move to the two epicenters of either Hollywood or New York City are a must if they want to fulfill their dreams and become a household name.  In addition to those who envision their faces gracing both the big and small screens, what goes on  behind the scenes is more than half the battle for creating great and iconic entertainment. Combine the talent with the ideal setting, and you have the unparalleled talent pool that is New York City.  Just how intertwined is the television/film industry with NYC? Numbers released by Boston Consulting Group and Mayor Bloomberg’s office yesterday from a new economic impact study reveal that the film and television industry has spent $60 billion on production in New York City over the past decade, the strongest it’s been to date.    The labor and resources it takes to create a TV show or a movie can also be credited with adding 30,000 jobs to the city’s film industry sector since 2004. Last year alone, film and television generated an astounding and record breaking $7.1 billion. Hair and make-up artists, wardrobe stylists, construction crews, catering and hospitality groups, and post-production digital and technical talent are only some of the areas New Yorker’s are called on to lend their expertise to the many projects being shot in the city.  According to the study, at least 13 pilots were shot here this spring, and 188 films were shot here last year. A member of the Mayor’s administration said “The BCG study confirms that the Bloomberg administration has successfully reestablished New York City as the creative hub of the film, television and digital media industries.”   Interested to know what’s currently filming in the city? In addition to Gossip Girl and Law & Order, SVU, which we all know are ongoing series based on New York City, here’s a list of productions being shot on the streets of Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs:  Feature Films Primetime Televisions Series             Admission                             Boardwalk EmpireThe Americans                      GirlsAnchors                                Law & Order: Special Victims UnitBailout                                  LouieBitter Pill                               Royal PainsBlood Ties                             White CollarLast I HeardMuhammad Ali’s Greatest FightMy Friend VijayNewlywedsPeople KissingSamuel’s GameThe Secret Life of Walter MittyTowheads Daytime/Latenight Talk Shows  20/20                                    The Wendy Williams ShowThe Early Show                      TodayExtra                                    Saturday Night LiveThe Colbert Report                 The RevolutionThe Daily Show                      Rachael RayDateline NBC                          MarthaDr. Oz                                    Live with KellyFox and Friends                      Late Show with David LettermanGood Day New York                Late Night with Jimmy Fallon        Good Morning America            The Insider  Along with countless other Cable network shows and series.  Grab some popcorn and enjoy, or head to an open call to get involved!  (Image Courtesy: Crain’s)

Be A Part of a Live New York City Studio Audience - Part I There are tons of great TV shows that are filmed in New York City and it’s easy for you to be a part of the studio audience for some of the tapings. These fun opportunities are available to you free of charge and you get the chance to enjoy hilarious comedy, informative daily news shows, or to see huge stars in person. There’s even the chance that you will get shown on TV yourself! Tickets are usually available far in advance, by way of online application or writing snail mail, and that’s the best way to go about getting in on a live taping. There are also same-day standby options, but the lines are often very long, so that option should only be taken if you’re willing to wait. Either way, the chance to be a part of the live studio audience for the taping of a popular show is well worth any trouble. Here is the pertinent information for how you can be a part of several of our favorite shows filmed in NYC: The Today Show on NBC tapes Monday through Friday from 7am-11am on the ground floor of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, located at the corner of West 49th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenue). This morning news and lifestyle program features Matt Lauer, Ann Curry and Al Roker, among others. Fans gather outside on the plaza to watch the taping and hopefully be caught on camera. No tickets necessary. Live! with Kelly, now temporarily hosted by Kelly Ripa and a special guest host, is one of the most popular morning talk shows of all time and used to be co-hosted by the legendary Regis Philbin. The show airs live on weekdays from 9am-10am. The wait for tickets to a live taping is quite long (up to a year), but there are still chances to score same-day tickets. You can apply for tickets online or send a postcard with your name, address, phone number, email, dates of shows you want to attend, and number of tickets requested to: Live! With Regis and Kelly Tickets Ansonia Station P.O. Box 230-777 New York, NY 10023-777 To get same-day tickets, arrive at the southeast corner of Columbus Avenue and West 67th Street as early as 7am for a standby number. After ticket holders are seated, standby hopefuls are seated on a first-come first-serve basis. Ticket holders should arrive at the studio no later than 8am. Late Show with David Letterman airs on CBS and has been hosted by David Letterman since 1993. The program features top celebrity guests and musical acts, the nightly Top Ten list, and many comedic sketches. The show airs weeknights at 11:35pm and is filmed at 1697 Broadway, between West 53rd and West 54th Street. They film two shows on Monday at 4:30pm and 7pm, one show each Tuesday and Wednesday at 5:30pm, and one show on Thursday at 4:30pm. To get tickets, you can regsiter online or in person at the Ed Sullivan Theater box office Monday through Thursday from 9:30am to noon or on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6pm. Tickets from the box office are awarded on a lottery basis. A limited number of standby tickets are also available on the date of each filming, for those tickets call 212-247-6497 no earlier than 11am. Part II of this series will be posted tomorrow with more popular live shows you can sit in on that are filmed in New York City.
