Itinerary

1. New York Public Library - Stephen A. Schwarzman Building
Begin your journey at the New York Public Library, where the original Ghostbusters encountered their first paranormal activity. Explore the grandeur of the Stephen A. Schwartzman Building and relive the iconic opening scene. Discover the Rose Main Reading Room, where Egon Spengler initiates his investigation. Feel the historic ambiance as you stand in the midst of towering bookshelves, echoing with the knowledge of 2.5 million volumes. Encounter the majestic stone lions, Patience and Fortitude, as they stand guard over the closed-stack research library.
Duration: 15 mins
2. Columbia University
Immerse yourself in the collegiate charm of Columbia University, where the Ghostbusters roamed the picturesque green. Uncover the secrets of this historic campus and recall the scene where the trio faces a grim revelation: the Board of Regents decides to pull the plug on their grant, leaving the ghostbusters with an uncertain future. In reality, there is no Weaver Hall or department of paranormal studies at Columbia University. Columbia University, having expanded its presence throughout the city, maintains its historic core at Morningside Heights. The iconic Low Memorial Library, serving as a backdrop where Venkman and Stantz drown their sorrows and formulate a business plan, stands proudly on West 116th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam avenues. Visit this distinguished institution, witness the architectural marvels, and relive the moments where the supernatural met academia in the Ghostbusters saga.
Duration: 15 mins
3. FDNY Ladder 8
Visit the iconic FDNY Hook and Ladder Company 8, immortalized as the Ghostbusters' headquarters in the heart of Tribeca. Once the team secures funding from the fictional Manhattan City Bank (filmed at a now-defunct Irving Trust Bank location near the library on the Avenue of the Americas), they venture seven miles south to this historic firehouse on North Moore Street. Despite concerns about the building's structural integrity, the Ghostbusters decide to make this early-1900s Beaux-Arts firehouse their base of operations. While interior scenes were filmed in Los Angeles, the exterior shots have made this decommissioned firehouse a must-visit for fans and tourists.
Duration: 15 mins
4. 55 Central Prk W
Venture to the Upper West Side and marvel at the imposing structure of 55 Central Park West. Referred to by Stantz as "Spook Central," this art deco marvel, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has never had an official name despite its illustrious history. Built in 1929, the exterior shots in Ghostbusters depict the building as taller and more ornate than its real-life counterpart, featuring an elaborate rooftop shrine. Witness where the paranormal meets the posh, and discover how Barrett's otherworldly encounter with flying eggs and a refrigerator portal makes her the ghostbusters' first official customer.
Duration: 10 mins
5. Lincoln Center Plaza
Experience the romance of Ghostbusters at Lincoln Center, where Venkman and Barrett's story takes a delightful turn. Amidst the cultural heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side, Josie Robertson Plaza stands as a hub of artistic brilliance. Positioned between West 65th and 62nd streets and Columbus and Amsterdam avenues, this iconic complex hosts world-renowned institutions like the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Ballet, and the New York Philharmonic. Picture the enchanting scene as Venkman and Barrett stroll around the fountain in Josie Robertson Plaza. Here, in the midst of Lincoln Center, Venkman seizes the moment to share news of a breakthrough in Barrett's supernatural case, extending an invitation for a date that adds a touch of magic to their budding connection.
Duration: 15 mins
6. Tavern On the Green
Witness the chaos unfold as Tully opens his bedroom door to an unwelcome guest—Vinz Clortho, The Keymaster, a growling demigod and loyal minion of Gozer. Tully's comical escape leads him into the heart of Central Park. Follow Tully's desperate antics as he seeks refuge at the Tavern on the Green, a historic gem nestled next to Sheep Meadow. The former sheepfold, converted into a restaurant in 1934, adds a touch of charm to the scene. As Tully attempts to garner help from unsuspecting diners, the romantic ambiance and comedic chaos create an unforgettable moment within the earshot of nonchalant patrons. After a brief closure and a multi-million-dollar renovation, Tavern on the Green reopened in 2014, inviting you to relish lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch in a nice setting.
Duration: 15 mins
7. Columbus Circle
Against the backdrop of the 57-foot-high USS Maine National Monument, commemorating the sailors lost in the 1898 USS Maine tragedy, Tully encounters a horse and amusingly queries if it's The Gatekeeper. Experience the supernatural spectacle as Louis Tully, now possessed by the ominous spirit of The Keymaster, ventures to the southwest corner of Central Park—Columbus Circle. Nestled at the crossroads of 8th Avenue and West 59th Street, this bustling hub invites you to explore its sights and attractions.
