White Collar locations

My sister and I are polar opposites on many fronts. While I adore New York, she loathes it. In fact, the last time we flew to visit our friends on the East Coast, she refused to go into Manhattan! So it was a pleasant surprise when she agreed not only to come into the Big Apple with me this time, but begged me to track down specific tourist attractions. This change of heart was brought on by a new TV series called "White Collar" - about a gorgeous and very clever art thief, forger and con artist named Neal Caffrey who is working with the FBI to capture other art cons.

And so we spent a day tracking down the filming locations for White Collar.

Here's 351 Riverside Drive a.k.a "June's House" where Neal Caffrey has an apartment. It is a beautiful art deco house with views of the Hudson River. Only caveat is that it is nowhere near the Chrysler Building, which Neal's apartment allegedly overlooks.

No movie or TV show set in NYC is complete without some scenes shot in Central Park. Here are the Observatory Gardens set in the northern end of Central Park, at 110th St. It's less touristy than the Columbus Circle end, but no less beautiful.
