84th St Between 1st Ave and 2nd Ave

How many times have you found yourself watching a movie or TV show and wondered where the person with the amazing apartment that's magically close to everything is living? They're living on this street. I'm certainly no location scout, but this block has so many perfect vignettes and scenes, I wouldn't be surprised if it's already been re-created brick-by-brick on some backlot out in California.

While the block features a lot of variety in terms of building types and styles, they're far enough away from each other so that you'll always feel immersed in one era. For example, several mid-century apartments line one side for as far as you can see, meanwhile directly across the street an incredible-looking Mechanic's garage sits alone next to a church. Frame correctly by a director this could easily look like 4-5 different parts of town.

The street itself is dark and covered from end-to-end with trees. The narrow street can cause some headaches with drivers, especially when there's a moving truck trying to do its thing for a few hours.
