TV The Shooting Locations of Girls
Posted by Henry Stewart on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 9:00 AM
Lena Dunham's character on her HBO show lives in Greenpoint, but much of the first season, which was released on DVD today, is shot around both Brooklyn and Manhattan—just like the still sorely missed Bored to Death, HBO's previous Brooklyn show. Here are some of the places visited by Dunham and her friends over the course of 10 episodes.
When Hannah (Lena Dunham) is forced to find work, it's at this Greenpoint coffee shop that she finds it, thanks to her friend Ray (Alex Karpovsky). [photo]
Bellwether
This Williamsburg bar is where Hannah meets Elijah (Book of Mormon's Andrew Rannells) and accuses him of giving her HPV. [photo]
Tom and Jerry's
This East Village bar is where Jessa (Jemima Kirke) goes for a White Russian instead of getting an abortion. [photo]
The Jane Hotel
The book party for Hannah's nemesis from college, Tally Schifrin (Jenny Slate), is held in the ballroom at this West Village lodgings. [photo]
Vesuvio Playground
This is the SoHo park where Jessa almost loses the two children she babysits. [photo]

The Entrance to the High Line
This is where the artist Booth Jonathan arouses Marnie so intensely that she has to go masturbate in a bathroom. [photo]
- A warehouse on Bushwick Place

Washington Commons
Though never actually visited, this bar is mentioned during Hannah's interview with Mike Birbiglia as the only place to drink in Prospect Heights. [photo]
Coney Island
One time I got on the F at York Street, fell asleep, and woke up in Coney Island—which is exactly what Hannah does in the season finale. I mean, Girls does a really fucking specific job of capturing the lives of young New Yorkers. [photo]
