Billie's Apartment (72 Clinton Street)

In the Movie

Scene where the filming of the facade of Billie's apartment and the nearest street corner shows her everyday home life in a typical residential area of Manhattan. The surrounding sidewalks and intersection create the feeling of a real, lived-in neighborhood rather than a studio set.

In Reality

The scene was filmed in Manhattan's Lower East Side, which is full of dense development with driveways, residential blocks and small businesses, plus constant street bustle. The corner of Rivington Street adds a realistic backdrop with typical curbside parking, signage, and street-level texture.

Pell Street / Doyers Street Area (17 Pell Street)

In the Movie

Scene where street scenes were filmed around Pell Street and the turn onto Doyers Street to place the characters in a lively and visually rich corner of Manhattan. The narrow streets and recognizable look of Chinatown give a clear sense of place and an authentic urban backdrop for movement and dialogue.

In Reality

The scene was filmed in Chinatown, near the characteristic bend of Doyers Street and the tight pedestrian development of the area. Here, narrow blocks, old mid-rise buildings, shop signs, and dense foot traffic create an authentic New York street atmosphere.
