Things to do if you're filming a movie today on Second Street and have some downtime

You know moviemaking! You stand around for 10 hours waiting to film a 45-second scene. Lots of downtime. So for the cast (Angelina!) and crew of "Salt," filming today on Second Street, here are some things that you can do right around the shoot location...

Shop for Christmas and Valentine's Day decorations at the 99-cent store on First Avenue near Fifth Street...



Buy a few beers to go from the Houston Village Farm on First Avenue at Fourth Street...



Window shop at Brickman and Son's on First Avenue...



Take your dry cleaning to the Hollywood-sounding Exquisite Cleaners on First Avenue at Third Street...



See if "Salt" will be a box-office hit at the modest-sounding Gifted Psychic on Third Street...



Sell your Academy Award here... (or at least get your bangs trimmed)



Try a massage at the Waterfront Spa on Second Street...



Do a few loads of laundry at First Avenue at Second Street...



Watch the NYC theatrical debut of "Ice People" at the Anthology Film Archives at Second Avenue and Second Street...



Drink at the Mars Bar...

Did they actually film today or was it postponed due to the rain?

Good question, TJ... Seemed pretty quiet when I walked through after 5 pm. All the equipment was there. It wasn't raining at the time... and it didn't occur to me to ask a crew member.
