Street names the Manhattan grid could not match. Most are shoots in another borough filed on a Manhattan permit; the rest are spellings the matcher misses.

About the data

Live from NYC Open Data film permits, fetched in your browser when you change a filter. The city's table is a rolling window, so older shoots age out of it.

There are no production titles here. The Mayor's Office of Media & Entertainment withholds them, so a permit says an episodic TV shoot held a block — never which show.

Permits name a stretch of street in prose, with no coordinates. Locations come from matching that prose against the NYC Street Centerline, so a parked truck's block is where the pin is — not necessarily where the camera pointed.
