It Wasn't Filmed In New York

Warner Bros.

While the movie takes place in New York City, surprisingly, the actual filming occurred in London. However, most audiences would never be able to tell the difference because of the meticulous preparations that were taken.

The reason that the set is so convincing is that Stanley Kubrick "sent a designer to New York to measure the exact width of the streets and the distance between newspaper vending machines." They made sure that the details were so precise that they would even be able to convince New Yorkers!
