The film was shot in New York City, using lively corners of Manhattan and recognizable entrances to Central Park to ground the college romance in a real urban environment. The camera follows two points of view as the relationship accelerates, breaks, and rebuilds, with city streets, hotel facades, and park paths serving as everyday backdrops for dates, chance encounters, and emotional turns.

Filming Locations:

Central Park Pond at Gapstow Bridge

In the Movie

Scene where Al and Imogen spend intimate time outdoors during their whirlwind romance; the park creates a calm moment against the city bustle and underscores the mood of new love with simple walks and pauses.

In Reality

The scene was filmed near the cast-iron Gapstow Bridge at the Pond in Central Park, a well-known pedestrian crossing with lakeside paths, benches, and views of Midtown towers, often used for quiet conversation scenes in New York productions.

10th Avenue and Prospect Avenue (Brooklyn)

In the Movie

Scene where a sidewalk moment unfolds as a character watches someone exit an Italian restaurant; the shot is built on a montaged screen direction, and the crew chose this corner, although the actual restaurant location does not match the scene's implication.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the intersection in Brooklyn with typical low-rise neighborhood buildings and traffic flow, providing a neutral everyday New York look suitable for different neighborhoods and convenient for exterior dialogue and overview shots.

462 Broadway at Grand Street (Manhattan)

In the Movie

Scene where a transitional street sequence is placed at this corner to show characters navigating downtown Manhattan, using the recognizable rhythm of storefronts at the intersection to hint at changing relationship phases and social circles.

In Reality

The scene was filmed on the SoHo/NoHo border with classic Broadway building facades and lively pedestrian traffic; the location provides a clean urban corridor view suitable for filming walking conversations and short inserts without sets.

The Plaza Hotel (Fifth Avenue and Central Park South)

In the Movie

Scene where an establishing or passing exterior uses the hotel corner to highlight a more refined part of Manhattan, giving a quick visual hint of a date-related or emotionally significant moment without lengthy exposition.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the historic front of the hotel opposite the southeast corner of Central Park, known for grand entrances, doormen, and constant tourist presence; it is a practical landmark that instantly signals upscale Manhattan in a few seconds.
