Ghostbusters NYC filming locations! Living an 80s dream with Venkman, the Muppets, and more!
Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! The Muppets take Manhattan! Seinfeld! So many epic movies and TV shows filmed in New York City, but probably the first that comes to mind is 1984's GHOSTBUSTERS! And as an 80s kid, it's always been my dream to see some of these places, so its time for another Randomland Adventure!

PS: This video is meant to be educational but not exhaustive. I know there are a few other spots around town, this is just what I could get to in one day. The point for me isn't to track down every angle, it's to have fun! Which should be the whole point of watching too, right? PPS: It really helps if you pop Ghostbusters back in and watch it again. It holds up great, and now I just gave you the best excuse to get it and relive the 80s ! ;)
