Ghostbusters Headquarters / Hook & Ladder 8 (8-14 North Moore Street)

Scene where it references the classic headquarters as an Easter egg. The source indicates that this scene was most likely recreated on a set, not filmed inside the actual firehouse, using the address as a real landmark.

In reality

The scene was filmed at the FDNY Hook & Ladder Company 8 firehouse — the famous exterior of the station in Tribeca associated with the Ghostbusters headquarters. The building stands on North Moore Street near Varick Street and attracts movie fans and location tourists.

Lower East Side, Manhattan (Lower East Side)

In the movie

Scene where brief street views of everyday Manhattan life are shown, used for transitions and spatial orientation. The compact blocks and recognizable atmosphere of Lower Manhattan help ground the urban references in the plot without requiring lengthy dialogue.

In reality

The scene was filmed at a densely populated area of Lower Manhattan with mixed residential blocks, old tenement buildings, bustling avenues, and a long history of immigrant communities. It provides an authentic New York look for quick street filming.
