Yes, you can visit the NYC filming locations from ‘In the Heights’
“In The Heights,” out Thursday in theaters and on HBO Max, turns the upper Manhattan neighborhood bustling with corner bodegas, open fire hydrants and walk-up apartments into caliente movie magic.It was crucial for the film based on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit Broadway musical to show “the real New York” both on and off camera, location manager and Washington Heights native Samson Jacobson said. Filming outdoor shots in the actual neighborhood during the summer of 2019 not only lent the film authenticity, but the cast and crew also connected with the locals, many of whom hail from Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic.
