Tribeca Festival 2027: New York Film Locations Walk

The Tribeca Festival announced its 2027 dates on September 30, 2026: June 3 to 12, in New York City. Tribeca is a good reason to be downtown in early June, but the festival is the calendar here, not the venue. Nothing in this guide says the festival screens films at these sites, and the walk does not need a pass. It is a selection of film locations, not a full list of the films shot in the city.

Every site was checked on October 27, 2026, against the official or primary page wherever one was reachable. We sort the sites into three groups: public streets, parks and exteriors; interiors open under conditions; and private, residential or closed places. Several claims that circulate online are wrong or disputed, and we say so where it matters to your visit.

What the festival has confirmed for 2027

The official announcement names the 26th edition, presented by OKX, running June 3 to 12, 2027. The same release opened submissions and put the passes on sale. The 25th edition ran June 3 to 14, 2026, so the new dates sit in the same early-June window.

Secondary press coverage of the announcement cites about 104 world premiere features and more than 240 live events. We did not find those figures on the festival’s own pages, so this guide does not use them. The program is the number to wait for, and it has not been released yet. Read it when it appears, and check the time of any screening you plan around.

Passes and tickets for 2027

The festival’s passes page lists the products below. Prices are in US dollars, and each one carries a fee on top.

Choosing between them depends on how you plan to spend your days. A walker who only wants the sites spends nothing on a pass. A film fan on a budget should check whether the Under 25 pass applies, or wait for the single-ticket price, which has not been published. The Opening Weekend pass suits a short visit built around the first five days, since it covers June 3 to 7 and nothing later.

Older festival pages describe passes with conditions that no longer apply, such as non-transferable photo passes. Use the 2027 page for your planning, and read the terms at checkout. Industry professionals follow a separate accreditation route, described on the festival’s industry office page, and it is not open to the public.

The Tribeca stretch: the Ghostbusters firehouse and the SoHo edge

The Ghostbusters firehouse is the best-known Tribeca stop, and the one most often misdescribed. Hook & Ladder Company 8 stands at 14 North Moore Street, at the corner of Varick Street. It is an active fire company of the New York City Fire Department, and its interior is closed to visitors. Fire Apparatus Magazine’s history of the building says the film used the exterior only, so the sidewalk is where your visit ends.

The building’s history is less settled. Sources give a construction date of 1903 or 1905, and a facade trimmed in 1913 or 1914 when Varick Street was widened. We leave those dates out because the sources disagree. An older amNY report announced a full renovation with the crew temporarily moved out. We found no confirmation of that work or of the building’s current status, so check locally before you go.

Two details circulate that are simply wrong. A walking-tour listing gives the firehouse as 110 North Moore, but the address is 14 North Moore. Many guides also still call the nearby hotel the Tribeca Grand. It now operates as The Roxy Hotel, a name it took in 2015, and it sits about 100 meters from the firehouse in a straight line.

The restaurant Odeon, at 145 West Broadway, is about 260 meters from the firehouse as the crow flies. Guides often list it as a film location, but we found no source that establishes a shoot there. The only link we found is Joseph O’Neill’s 2008 novel, which is not a film shoot, so go for the room, not for a scene.

Little Italy: the Godfather courthouse, Old St. Patrick’s and the mafia walk

The Godfather’s New York is mostly Little Italy and Lower Manhattan, with a few sites in the outer boroughs. The sites below are the ones we could confirm, with the status of each.

The New York County Supreme Courthouse, at 60 Centre Street on Foley Square, is where Untapped Cities places the Barzini shooting. It is a working courthouse with security screening, so photograph the exterior from the square. Court tours follow the court system’s own rules, and we did not confirm one available for 2027, so check nycourts.gov before you plan a visit.

Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral, at 263 Mulberry Street, is an active parish, and Untapped Cities places the christening scene there. NYC Tourism lists hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. We found no confirmation of those hours from the parish itself, so ask before you plan a visit around them, and keep your visit respectful, as at any working church.

The Corleone residence on Staten Island is a private home. Smithsonian’s guide describes it that way, and this guide gives no address for it.

Greenwich Village and Inside Llewyn Davis

Inside Llewyn Davis is set in Greenwich Village in 1961, and it uses real streets and a real club name. The Gaslight Cafe was a working club at 116 MacDougal Street from 1958 to 1971. According to Untapped Cities, the film’s interior scenes were shot in a Crown Heights warehouse. The exterior was filmed on East 9th Street, between First Avenue and Avenue A, a residential block. Sources give two different numbers for the facade, so this guide gives none.

Washington Square Park is public, and several street scenes are set there, so it is the easiest stop in this section. Untapped Cities places a scene at Caffe Reggio on MacDougal Street. We did not confirm that the cafe is still open, so check before you plan a coffee stop. Two subway stations appear in the film: Christopher Street and 96th Street on the Upper West Side. Both are public stations, and neither needs a reservation.

The Chelsea Hotel is often listed among the film’s locations. We found no source that confirms it, so this guide leaves it out.

Central Park: the pedicab stops

Central Park is public and free to enter, and it holds many of the film and TV spots that the pedicab tours point out. A pedicab covers more ground than walking, and the stops depend on the operator’s route, so ask which scenes the guide covers before you book.

Both pedicab tours in this guide carry the same supplier code prefix (122012), which suggests one operator, so you are mostly choosing a length and a price. Our price samples assume two adults, so check the total for your group size before you book.

Midtown: Taxi Driver, the Ed Sullivan Theater and what is gone

Taxi Driver (1976) is the hardest film in this guide to walk, because most of its blocks have changed. Scouting NY’s three-part study traces the film’s sites and finds many demolished or transformed. Treat this section as a history walk, not a set visit.

Show and Tell, the porn theater where Travis takes Betsy, stood at 737 Eighth Avenue between 46th and 47th Streets. Nothing visible remains there. Scouting NY describes a vacant lot and closed storefronts, and one source says the site now houses a ticket agency. The Palantine campaign headquarters, at 63rd Street and Broadway, has been replaced by an apartment tower.

The Lyric Theater, at 213 West 42nd Street, is now the Hilton Theater, and the building still stands. IMDb lists it among the film’s locations. The film’s apartments are a different case: IMDb lists 202 and 226 East 13th Street, and our sources disagree on which building is the main apartment. Both are residential buildings, so admire them from the sidewalk only. Untapped Cities reports that the interior of 226 may have been a set, so do not expect to see it.

The Ed Sullivan Theater, at 1697 Broadway at 53rd Street, is the other Taxi Driver stop, since IMDb lists a telephone scene there. The Late Show’s name came off the facade on September 23, 2026, after the show’s final episode on May 21, 2026. The building is still called the Ed Sullivan Theater. We found no public tour of the interior, so visit the front.

The final scene is usually tied to the St. Regis Hotel on East 55th Street, which has a public lobby. We did not check the film frame by frame, so treat that link as a claim from the guides, not a fact we confirmed.

Planning the day: order, transport and budget

Lower Manhattan works best on foot. The Roxy, Odeon, Foley Square and Old St. Patrick’s are each less than a kilometer from the firehouse as the crow flies. Our estimate for the walk from the firehouse to Foley Square is 12 to 15 minutes at a steady pace, with a detour. It is an estimate, not a routed time.

Midtown is a separate leg. The Ed Sullivan Theater, the New York Public Library’s Schwarzman Building and Columbus Circle sit between 4 and 6 kilometers from the firehouse, so take the subway. A single ride costs $3, paid with OMNY contactless payment: tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstile. The MTA fares page we checked on October 27, 2026 lists this price, with an update dated October 13. Check mta.info for service changes before you travel.

A walker who sticks to the sites can spend close to nothing beyond the subway. Budget the day around one guided walk, not around the festival. We did not find a sourced climate figure for June in New York, so we give none. Check the forecast the week before you travel, and plan for a long day outdoors.

Five claims to drop before you repeat them

1. The Ed Sullivan name is not gone. The Late Show branding came off the facade in September 2026, and the building is still called the Ed Sullivan Theater.
2. The firehouse is not at 110 North Moore. The address is 14 North Moore Street.
3. The hotel is not the Tribeca Grand. It has been The Roxy Hotel since 2015.
4. The Odeon is not a confirmed film set. We found no source that establishes a shoot there.
5. The 2024 and 2025 pass conditions, such as photo passes that cannot be transferred, do not describe 2027.

• Check the festival's program page before you book, since the 2027 schedule had not been published when we checked
• Photograph the Ghostbusters firehouse from the sidewalk only, and do not try to enter
• Confirm the Old St. Patrick's hours with the parish, not only with tourism listings
• Set up OMNY on a card or phone before you reach the subway
• Ask whether Caffe Reggio is still open before you plan a coffee stop
• Keep photos of residential buildings to the sidewalk, since people live on those blocks

The route we would walk in June is simple. Start at the firehouse in the morning, then walk to Foley Square and Old St. Patrick’s, and keep the afternoon for Central Park or for the Midtown leg by subway. End with the St. Regis lobby if you want the Taxi Driver ending, as the guides tell it. Sites change, and the festival program will add its own schedule, so if something here has moved by the time you go, tell us and we will correct the guide.
