The Curb Your Enthusiasm 18-wheeler
Lots of equipment on the scene for filming "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on East Fourth Street between the Bowery and Second Avenue... including the branded 18-wheeler!
Meanwhile, crew members said they were prepping to shoot the exterior scenes there (as of about 5:50) now... so Card Carrying Members of the Larry David Club take note...

Butcher Bay now being used for low-budget film shoots
I was walking on Fifth Street this past weekend, and saw some activity at now-shuttered Butcher Bay eatery.... Did they reopen?
...turns out a small crew was there to film a scene for an independent film...

Corner restaurants popular for film shoots today (and probably other days...)
We have the low-budget "Hated" at Life on 10th Street and Avenue B...(Assuming that it's not about GG...)
...and HBO's "How to Make it in America" at the ramenators at the former Love Saves the Day location on Seventh Street and Second Avenue.

One way to drink free and watch reality TV
Some information from a reader about the filming of "Bartender Wars" on Avenue B:
Rehab on B and 3rd. I was roped into the Monday afternoon filming with the lure of free drinks while walking by on my day off. They practically begged us to come in because the crowd was so thin. Not a bad way to kill a few hours. And it really was "all you can drink." Filming again today and Friday 2pm to 1am.

R-Pattz films a scene at the Pearl Diner
Just a little bit ago...
Later, a group of teens were excited to photograph the QM-11 to Forest Hills.
OK, OK...R-Pattz was headed back to his town car.

Pearl Street Diner closed, but just for today because of R-Pattz
I really hate going up to my favorite places and seeing a sign tacked to the door. I always fear the worst. Like when I went up to the Pearl Street Diner in the Financial District yesterday for lunch.
OK, I can live with this for one day. And filming for the new R-Pattz film "Remember Me" takes place here today. Remember to leave your screaming teens at home.

R-Pattz filming on Seventh Street TOMORROW
Yes, this is none other than the Robert Pattinson film "Remember Me." Given his devoted teen following, should be a good day for the FroYo and cupcake shops nearby. [Update: Spotted this sign between First Avenue and Second Avenue, and figure that's where the action will bee...]

273 Mott St. in danger of collapsing; Robert Pattinson fans don't seem to notice
Update: As Channel 7 is reporting, city inspectors allowed residents to return to their homes around 9 p.m. Any damage to Robert Pattinson's hair is not yet known.
Two things are happening now on Mott Street between Houston and Prince.
1) 273 and 275 Mott St. have been evacuated, including the restuarant on the ground floor -- Sakura Sushi & Thai Cuisine.
2) Robert Pattinson is inside St. Patrick's Old Cathedral prepping to film a scene for "Remember Me."
Firefighters were called to Nolita/Little Italy just after 5:30 p.m. City officials evacuated the residents of the five-story building "fearing a giant bottom-to-top crack in its facade could be a prelude to disaster." (City inspectors were also called to the scene yesterday.)
You can see the crack in the building...
...and it seemed to get worse as we were standing there.
Sakura sat empty....
The building is to the north of the Cathedral grounds.
Members of the film crew were standing around. Someone said, "Here comes Channel 7." A crew member muttered, "Fuckin' great." The reporter, Jen Maxfield, asked several people for an interview. Everyone politely declined. No real sense of urgency here. Someone remarked, "This is what happens when it rains for 30 straight days." One woman asked what was happening. We were all standing looking up at the crack in the building. And someone responded, seriously: "Robert Pattinson is filming a movie!"
Meanwhile, a little bit down the street, the prep work continued on "Remember Me." A carnival scene or something. No one seem to be all that concerned that the building may collapse. "There goes a night of shooting," one crew member said of the holdup with those pesky firefighters, ConEd supervisors and city engineers. Several oblivious members of the paparazzi finally gave up their Pattinson vigil and snapped some shots of the building. One photographer said he thinks all old buildings should be torn down and replaced. The person he said this to told him to fuck off.
Most people thought the firefighters were there as part of the movie. (In case the Texas Taters' blow?) I asked a young woman if she knew what was happening. "Yes, he's inside the church."
And nevermind that many people may be homeless now. Or there's another building collapse in NYC. Oh! Lauren Hutton walked by with some shopping bags. One of the crew members shouted, "Hi Lauren!" She passed. "Damn, she still looks good." She does.

"Step Up 3D" is pretty much going to be filming all over the place
Yes! "Step Up 3D" is back in the neighborhood filming Friday. And the crew will need the north side of Seventh Street between First Avenue and Avenue B... BOTH sides of Avenue A between Seventh Street and St. Mark's...BOTH sides of Sixth Street between First Avenue and Avenue A...the south side of St. Mark's between First Avenue and Avenue A... and the south side of 10th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A.
Other than that....

Step Up 3D returns to the East Village
Filming continues today and tomorrow in the East Village on what will likely be the greatest 3D movie about teen street dancers ever made. Parts of Third Avenue, Second Avenue, Ninth Street, 10th Street and 11th Street will be affected by the dance fever.

"Step Up" set up at 6:30 a.m.
If you live on Avenue B between Second Street and Fourth Street, you likely heard the prep work taking place at 6:30 am today for "Step Up 3D." The delightful BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP of the trucks backing up, moving into position for — perhaps! — a big dance number that will happen during a convenient rainstorm.
And I wonder what Avenue B will look in in 3D?
