Home Alone 2 & Elf

In and around Central Park is where many movie scenes have been filmed. I was mainly on the lookout for the classics Home Alone 2 and Elf.

Just before getting into the park is 51 95th Street, the outside of the house where Kevin makes a mockery of the Wet Bandits. The filming inside the house is however in Chicago.

Picture 2 is Bethesda Terrace, Kevin walks through here and it's also the Terrace where the horse riding Central Park Rangers appear in Elf when trying to catch Santa.

Pics 3 & 4 are where Buddy the Elf and Michael have the snow all fight with the yoofs. 5 is the ice rink from Home Alone although it's currently lots of tennis courts! 6 is the spot where Kevin first sets his eyes on the Plaza hotel (7 is the hotel entrance). 8 is the bridge where Kevin first encounters the bird lady, and where the Wet Bandits are captured after a bird attack initiated by bird lady. The final picture is Radio City Music Hall where Kevin walks past in Home Alone 2.

More sights from these films to come in the coming days I'm sure!Read more
