Anyone know where the townhome is?
Does anyone know what part of New York the townhome the grandmother lived it? It looks like the Quessnboro Bridge in the background when they show the exterior scenes of the house.

I know the filming is listed as New York city but I saw the diner on the backlot of Paramount Pictures, the townhouse could of been one of the ones also on the backlot.
shareThe whole film was shot in Los Angeles. The townhome is one of the backlot facades. The bridge in the background is a matte painting or some other visual effect.
This was Brandon Tartikoff's first film as head of Paramount, and he wanted to show that his studio could deliver a film in a short time for a small budget.
The city street shots were Downtown LA (it was 95 degrees on those shoot days...when Robert Lieberman yelled "cut", you never saw so many topcoats fly off of bodies so fast! The cotillion scenes (ballroom, lobby, and wedding reception) were shot in a hotel in MacArthur Park in Los Angeles.
How do I know all of this? I'm in the film. :)
