I just got this press release from TCM. Wish I could be in NY for it.
The network has partnered with On Location Tours, one
of the world's largest TV and movie tour companies, to create the "TCM
Classic Film Tour" in New York City. Featuring stops at some of
the most famous movie locations throughout the city, this sightseeing bus tour
is one of several initiatives TCM is launching as it prepares to celebrate its
20th anniversary in April 2014.
The "TCM Classic Film Tour" features an
experienced and knowledgeable tour guide, extensive trivia about each location
and a special video introduction by TCM host Robert Osborne, a longtime
resident of New York. "As a kid growing up in a small town in Washington
State," Osborne says in his introduction, "my only exposure to New
York City was through the movies. The town with its towering skyscrapers,
fascinating people and teeming energy absolutely captivated me. Seeing New York
in the movies is what made me want to live in Manhattan one day. I eventually
got my wish, and the city has never disappointed me.”
Set to launch on Thursday, Aug. 22, the "TCM
Classic Film Tour" will run Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, beginning
at 11:30 a.m. The three-hoursightseeing bus tour will take movie fans to
some of the city's greatest filming locations, including the Empire State
Building (King Kong); Zabar's market (Manhattan, You've Got Mail); Holly
Golightly's brownstone (Breakfast at Tiffany's); the famed subway grate that
blew Marilyn Monroe's skirt (The Seven-Year Itch); Grand Central Terminal (North
by Northwest, Superman); and, of course, Central Park.
In addition to seeing the real locations, visitors will get
to see clips of the sites from the movies. "It's a great way to see how
much – and how little – the city has changed over the years," Osborne
says, "and how the history of New York and the history of the movies are
so intertwined."

Tour" online at http://www.tcm.com/tours,
