We’re back…

…in uber hot Manila, boohoo!

We couldn’t believe that it was only a week ago that we were strolling in uber cold New York City. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back, perhaps sometime in August ;)

And as if it was serendipity, the movies in our flight back were shot in the Big Apple: Enchanted, August Rush and the Bee Movie. So anyway, here are a few photos of famous New York landmarks, most were also set locations of other movies. Can you name those movies? :D

    What lovely photos too. Lemme try answering your question about the landmarks, like you guys I’m a pop culture geek –

    Empire State – dami! From the top of my head: the classic King Kong, Superman, Sleepless in Seattle, A Love Affair (and An Affair to Remember),

    Flatiron Bldg – Spiderman (ofc ng Daily Bugle), Veronica’s Closet

    Grand Central Terminal – Gossip Girl (Serena’s comeback scene!), Fisher King, Loser, Superman din ata

    Central Park – Godspell, Enchanted, Hair, Wall Street, Imagine (did you visit Strawberry Fields?)

    Times Square – si Hiro!, Spiderman,

    The Met – The Devil Wears Prada, Gossip Girl rin is filmed on its steps

    St. Paul’s Chapel – hmm di ko alam yan ah

    Rockefeller – Serendipity, Sex and the City,

    F.A.O.’s piano – BIG!
