Filming location of "Pride" in NYC

[zoomzoom]

Since I go to New York quite often, I was always curious as to where they filmed the Pride video. I searched AHS and found a thread from '06 where people concluded that it was the George Washington Bridge.

But I know the GWB is all the way up near 180th street, and the pictures I found looked nothing like it.

I did some research looking through the video, and saw the sign that said 134th street. From there, I found the location with the always helpful Google Earth and Google Streetview.

It's filmed underneath the Riverside Drive/12th Avenue Bridge, at W134th/W133rd street, looking south. Below are pictures:

Closer, looking south, the direction the PV is filmed




Looking south, from Live Maps birdeye view. Here you can even see the news ticker which is visible in the PV (It's just above the red wall)

And to compare, from the Pride PV










So if you're ever in NYC, you'll know here it is. Maybe I'll go there the next time I'm in NYC and take some pictures
