New York City is so big and beautiful, you can film almost anywhere. So, if you’re looking for a special place which will be perfectly suited to your filming requirements, then search for the outdoor patios, terraces, rooftops and gardens. Located all over the city, find the areas with the backdrops you need.

In NYC, if you have larger equipment, you are required to have a permit to shoot outdoors, unless you are shooting handheld videos. The permit grants you access to the city’s resources like parking for production vehicles or location assistance. Make sure to read all about the permit if you are shooting an upscale production.

NYC is famous not only for its film industry, but also for its transportation. The yellow cab will never not be associated with the city. And apart from the cabs, everyone uses public transit on a daily basis. Which means, no matter how you travel, most areas should be pretty much accessible. Use the subway or the bus if you don’t mind sharing. If you need to pop down to the coffee shop, you can go on foot, or bike if it’s a bit further away. Don’t want to take your own car, but don’t fancy other options? Grab an Uber, Lyft or rent a bus or a van if you need more space.
