Brooklyn Is the New Hollywood
Apparently the hottest words on producers lips are “on location in Brooklyn,” reports the NY Daily News. What makes us so special? A little bit of everything: cobblestone streets, brownstones, Orthodox Jews, Russians, Chinese and West Indians. Besides the Brooklyn Bridge, folks have filmed Brooklyn College as Yale and Pratt as Harvard. Photo by isaiahlt.

what’s happening to that darren star show “park slope”? or was that just a bad joke?
I agree that this is nothing new. It’s common knowledge that parts of “Debbie Does Dallas” were filmed at Pratt.
also the Park Grille in Wburg/Greenpoint for a spa (corner store) in Southie. That had me chuckling. Haven’t been to Southie in years, but feel confident the hipsters would all still get their a**es kicked if they tried strolling around there.
See me @ 11:16, PropJoe. Correcting my casting error (Departed).
ppark – if they charged these productions the productions would go elsewhere. the reason they’re here is bloomberg’s huge tax incentives. and the reason he gives tax incentives is they’re more than made up with the jobs these productions create.
Baldwin & Damon? What are you referring to?
daveinbedstuy – well, from all accounts, PropJoe is 100% correct.
Excuse me, Baldwin and Damon.
PropJoe…couldn’t you weave something about Sephardic Jews into that??
