Guía inquebrantable de Kimmy Schmidt a NYC
Publicado 05/19/2017
Incluso si no viniste a NYC para escapar de tu pasado de “Mujer Mole de Indiana”, seguir los pasos de un neoyorquino ficticio que lo hizo es una forma divertida de explorar la ciudad. Kimmy Schmidt es uno de nuestros programas de televisión favoritos de Nueva York, por lo que hemos elaborado este itinerario para ayudarle a dar un paseo por los zapatos Kimmy: zapatillas con luces brillantes, para ser exactos.—Gillian Osswald
1
Bakeri
1
105 Freeman Street
This homey Brooklyn bakery appears on-screen as “The Pinched Loaf,” a cheekily named hipster joint that Lillian pickets in her one-woman war on neighborhood gentrification.
2
Cherry Hill Fountain
2
Mid-Park at 72nd Street west of Bethesda Terrace
Commonly mistaken for the setting of the Friends opening theme, this fountain is the picturesque spot where Kimmy and Dong re-enact a supposed Vietnamese version of the sitcom, Six White Complainers.
3
Christmas in Little Italy
3
142 Mulberry St
Kimmy channels Buddy the Elf when she takes a job at this store that celebrates Christmas all year round. Experience the never-ending yuletide for yourself in Little Italy.
4
The Cyclone
4
834 Surf Ave
This Coney Island coaster has been thrilling riders since 1927. Kimmy joins their ranks when she inexplicably wakes up on the ride in “Kimmy Meets a Drunk Lady.”
5
Dylan's Candy Bar
5
1011 Third Ave.
Even if you haven’t spent half of your life in a bunker, you’ll find the confection selection here impressive. Dylan’s is one of the world’s largest sweets stores, the perfect supplier of Kimmy’s dinner candy.
6
Grand Army Plaza
6
Grand Army Plaza at Eastern Parkway
Dong’s wife Sonya has a very personal relationship with the statue of Neptune on Bailey Fountain. Kimmy and Dong find her chatting with the sculpture in this plaza.
7
The Jekyll & Hyde Club
7
91 7th Avenue South
Titus takes a job at “Professor Dracula’s Spooky Laboratory and Bar & Grill” (where Bill Hader plays a vampire bartender). The fake theme restaurant is inspired by this real one in Greenwich Village.
8
Kimmy's Apartment
8
74 Freeman St.
East Dogmouth, where Kimmy, Titus and Lillian live, is not a real neighborhood—but the exterior of the apartment is a real building you can check out in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
9
Lotte New York Palace
9
455 Madison Ave.
This Frasier-fancy Midtown hotel is a popular filming location for a host of TV shows. Jacqueline goes on an elegant date here, while her sidekick Mimi Kanasis tags along to pick up “sloppy thirds.”
10
Rockefeller Center
10
48th–51st Sts. btw. Fifth and Sixth Aves.
The Indiana Mole Women appear on the Today show (“Thank you, victims!”), which tapes on the ground floor of Rockefeller Plaza. The location may also be a clever nod to the fact that the show’s creators previously worked together on 30 Rock.
11
Saks Fifth Avenue
11
611 Fifth Ave.
While we can’t endorse the bedazzled kicks Kimmy purchases here, we can certainly appreciate the fact that one of her first NYC destinations is this fashion flagship.
12
Tavern on the Green
12
1 Tavern on the Green
Kimmy ain’t afraid of no ghosts—nor ’80s pop culture references. She picks this classic Central Park restaurant for a dinner date because of its appearance in Ghostbusters.
13
Times Square
13
Broadway
This is “where New York goes to shop,” to hear Kimmy tell it. Not quite, but it is the bustling space where Titus works as “Metal Hero Friend” alongside a motley crew of other off-brand costumed characters.
14
Turtle Pond
14
Mid-park at 80th St.
Closeted bird-watcher Xanthippe Voorhees is caught spotting a thick-billed murre at this Central Park locale. Bring your waterproof birding journal. And, yes, you might also spot one of the five species of turtles that live here.
