Serena's "Home" and Chuck's "Hotel"

I was walking down Madison Ave. the other day when I saw this structure and instantly recognized it from Gossip Girl! But I didn't get to take a picture since I was in a rush to meet my good friend from high school Tet, and her daughter at their hotel farther down the road.

Last night, dear hubby and I where walking along Madison Ave. again, so I excitedly pointed Serena's home to him, which he of course recognized immediately! (He does, I force him to watch Gossip Girl with me! Hahaha!). This time we got to take a picture for posterity!



In reality, filming is done on a set that resembles this hotel. Oh and by the way, Chuck's family does not own this place. The New York Palace Hotel is in fact owned by Brunei Royalty!
