Every Stop Has a Story

The Met Steps

These steps are Blair Waldorf's throne room, where she holds court with her minions at lunchtime, and the 2021 reboot brought its new cast right back to them.

Blair Waldorf's Penthouse

This pre-war building's limestone facade serves as the exterior of the Waldorf residence, embodying the "Old Money" elegance Blair strives to maintain, though the show's interior scenes were actually filmed on a soundstage and won't match anything inside its forty-three real apartments.

The Archibald Townhouse

This Beaux-Arts mansion, built in 1898, plays the Archibald family home, and its real residents have included Marc Chagall and Michael Jackson.

Constance Billard / St. Jude's

The stately steps of the Museum of the City of New York doubled as the entrance to Constance Billard and St. Jude's, the private schools at the heart of Gossip Girl.

The Bass/Van der Woodsen Hotel

Known on the show simply as the Palace, this hotel was home to the van der Woodsens and Chuck Bass in the early seasons, built around six 1884 townhouses designed to look like an Italian palazzo.

The Van der Woodsen Penthouse

In later seasons, the van der Woodsens move to this Midtown East condominium, though the glamorous duplex penthouse, complete with its Prada Marfa artwork, was a set built at Silvercup Studios.

Chuck's "Empire"

Chuck Bass buys this hotel in season three to prove he can build his own empire, and the real Empire Hotel let the show film inside and out, under its famous rooftop sign.

The Van der Woodsen Wedding Site

Lily and Bart's lavish season one wedding was filmed in Andrew Carnegie's mansion, now the Smithsonian's Cooper Hewitt design museum.
