CSI: NY in Downtown LA

On Friday evening in downtown Los Angeles the weather was still a balmy 68 degrees out, yet there was snow on the ground.

I of course did a double take while walking to happy hour that night. As I tried to clear my eyes I became even more confused when I saw festive holiday lights strung on the trees throughout 6th Street. The store windows had holiday scenes in them too and for a second I had to think, what month is this? I then noticed the camera equipment, trailers and yellow taxicabs with New York plates parked along the street. Apparently, they were filming a holiday episode of CSI: NY and thus, snow in L.A. a la Hollywood style.

See the shots that I took from my mobile. What do you think? Does it look like DTLA or NYC?

Although, having lived in Manhattan, I've never seen such a fancy nut cart before, usually they are sold in big metal things not cute vintage wooden carts like that.

  3. It's weird seeing sets like that in LA all the time. Last month, I saw Chicago cop cars everywhere and thought I was dreaming.
