This week, yet another production was filming at the Hempstead House in Long Island, NY. Boardwalk Empire, a new HBO series starring Steve Buschemi, is just one of the productions that has filmed at the Hempstead in the past year. The house has also been featured recently in Kings and Royal Pains.
The Hempstead House is a castle located at Sands Point Preserve that has 3 floors, contains 40 rooms and an 80-foot tower. The house can can be toured daily, though there is no charge on Thursdays. The castle is no longer furnished but its architecture can still be appreciated and enjoyed.
The Strand was also a hot filming location this week after Robert Pattinson was clipped by a taxi outside of the bookstore where he was filming scenes for Remember Me. The Strand is one of NYC’s most beloved bookstores, featuring three floors of used and new books. It is also a favorite of location scouts and has been featured in several TV shows as well as the upcoming feature film, Julie and Julia.
