'The Best And The Brightest' Films In 'Sex And The City' Territory Today

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.
