  Tudor City

  Tudor City Overpass is the best vantage point in Manhattan for a photo of 42nd Street stretching west, with the skyline framed above it. This elevated walkway has appeared on screen in Spider-Man, where Peter Parker faces the Green Goblin, and in The Bourne Ultimatum — and it's where your guide helps you line up the shot.

  Daily News Building

  This is the Daily Planet. The News Building stood in for Clark Kent's newsroom in Superman (1978), and its Art Deco lobby — home to the largest indoor globe in the world — is as cinematic in person as it is on film.

  Gossip Girl fans will know these courtyard steps instantly — this is the van der Woodsen residence. More recently, the hotel appears in Materialists with Dakota Johnson.
