9. Metropolitan Museum of Art
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Emy MooreThe steps in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art are a famous spot for filming and can be seen in Gossip Girl and Hitch. And the “pepper on my paprikash” scene in When Harry Met Sally took place inside the Sackler Wing of the museum. Other movies that have filmed at the Met include Maid in Manhattan and The Nanny Diaries. Friends: Charlie wants to go to the Met (not to see the Mets, as Joey originally assumes), so Ross plans a route through the museum, coaching Joey to make sure he gets it right.
