Touring NYC: The Central Park TV & Movie Sites Tour

Of the many tours you can find in NYC, there are several entertainment-themed tours.  One is the Central Park TV & Movie Sites Tour, a walking tour through the lower half of the park.

Central Park is very large and is the most filmed location in NYC.  (Perhaps, it is the most filmed park in the world.)  The Internet Movie Database lists more than 400 films and shows with scenes shot in Central Park (imdb.com). 

The tour wound through the park, with our knowledgeable guide recalling scene after scene from scores of popular films and television shows, from Breakfast at Tiffany's to Home Alone 2 to Date Night to Seinfeld to Gossip Girl.  

Of course, the greatest film ever shot in Central Park is . . . that's right, from 1970, Hercules in New York, starring the Governator in the title role.  Hercules comes to Earth "where he finds true love and starts a promising career in the bodybuilder business".  Only in America could an immigrant find love (and later screw it up) and be immensely successful in business and politics.
