(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
New York Public Library
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.
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.
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.
