Neil Patrick Harris alert! The Best and The Brightest starring NPH is filming on the Upper East Side of Manhattan today. The movie will be shooting a scene near E. 71 St and Madison Ave, about a block east of Central Park. The comedy, which has actually been filming in Philadelphia for the past few weeks, is about a young couple who have recently moved to Manhattan and suddenly realize the lengths they must go to in order to get their young daughter into a private kindergarten.
Today's filming location is also just around the corner from Lumi, 963 Lexington Ave, a small Italian restaurant that will seem familiar to Sex and the City fans. The scene in the movie where Charlotte runs into Big at a restaurant—that was at Lumi. And when she went into labor while arguing with Big, that was filmed on the street in front of Lumi.
Besides its big-screen notoriety, Lumi also offers classic Italian dishes at a reasonable price, well, reasonable for the UES anyway. Their dinner menu includes spaghetti with garlic, olive oil, tomato and red pepper for $19 and hand-made ravioli filled with veal in a wild mushroom sauce for $21.50.
