Neighborhood Chat / The Good Wife
« on: May 05, 2010, 09:54:06 AM »
On yesterday's episode of The Good Wife, the Julianna Margulies drama that airs on CBS, Jackson Heights had a cameo role.  Specifically, two scenes having to do with an Indian travel agency and sari shop were filmed on a stretch of 37th Avenue from about 80th Street up to 84th Street.  Although the show is supposed to take place in Chicago, sharp-eyed New Yorkers who watch the series can often identify exteriors shot in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.
