After Hours filming location: Moondance Diner, while it was still in New York City
New York’s SoHo district is the setting for the best of eighties ‘yuppie nightmare’ genre movies. It's a minor Martin Scorsese film, but no less enjoyable for that..
Word processor Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) ventures down to this expensive, if rundown, artsy enclave to meet goofy Marcy Franklin (Rosanna Arquette). If you really want to follow him, take the subway down to Spring Street, the station where the near-penniless Paul fails to talk his way onto the platform when ticket prices are suddenly hiked up.
After Hours location: Kiki the sculptress conks out: 28 Howard Street, Soho, New York
28 Howard Street at Crosby Street is the spacious loft of dour sculptress Kiki Bridges (Linda Fiorentino) where Marcy inconsiderately conks out.
A few blocks west you could – until recently – have sampled burgers in the wonderfully stylish stainless-steel diner to which Paul scuttles back throughout the course of an increasingly frantic night. It was the Moondance Diner, 80 Sixth Avenue at Grand Street in SoHo where Mary Jane worked in Spider-Man. You can still eat at the Moondance, but you’ll need to travel to the town of La Barge, Wyoming. The famous diner was relocated here in 2007.
After Hours location: the ‘Terminal Bar’: The Emerald Pub, 308 Spring Street, Soho, New York
Further west still is the ‘Terminal Bar’, where Tom the Barman (John Heard) pours beer and Paul keeps company with a brace of leather queens. If you want to try a beer here, it’s an Irish tap room, the Emerald Pub, 308 Spring Street at Renwick Street, and across the road, at 307 Spring Street, you can see the apartment of ‘Miss Beehive 1965’, disaffected barmaid, Teri Garr.
Tom’s place, where Paul’s problems escalate after he’s mistaken for a burglar, was further along the road on the corner of Greene Street at 128 Spring Street. The site has since been redeveloped.
The elaborate iron gates of Paul ’s workplace, outside which he’s finally dumped, are those of the Metropolitan Life Tower, Madison Avenue between 23rd and 24th Streets by Madison Square Park.
