Crews for the new Netflix series "Dash & Lily" are setting up for a shoot in Tompkins Square Park this morning... and adding to the dusting of snow that is expected today.

"Dash & Lily," an eight-episode holiday romantic comedy series set for Netflix in 2020, has been filming around the neighborhood in recent weeks. The show is based on the young-adult book series "Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares" from authors Rachel Cohn and David Levithan.

So is the park closed to residents so the corporate can produce their fictions?
ReplyDeletePark is not closed AND there are at least 5 local residents employed on the production. Much of our money will be put into the East Village economy. So win,win. Thanks everyone from one local film worker.
DeleteWin-win — except for anyone in the neighborhood trying to take their dog to the dog park, only to be barked at to fuck off by the faceless production staff of this trashcan tween romcom...
ReplyDeleteMany people live in the area and even on Ave B that work on this show . These are well paid union jobs .. get over it and walk your dog by river
DeleteIn fairness, no one used the words “fuck off” and, you should be happy to know that a large donation was made to the fund for the dog run’s maintenance, to the long run benefit of all local dog owners. Thanks for your patience.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the snow penis?
