The Delacorte Music Clock, located near the Children's Zoo and Wildlife Center, is a great attraction for kids. Each day between eight in the morning and six in the evening, the clock--now digitally programmed--plays one of thirty-two nursery rhyme tunes on the hour. On the half-hour, the mechanical performance is a bit shorter. The animals rotate on a track around the clock and each also turns on an axis.
The Music Clock was modeled after the musical clocks that George T. Delacorte saw while travelling in Europe. The whimsical, bronze animal sculptures that adorn the Clock were created by sculptor Andrea Spadini, and include a goat playing the pipes, a kangaroo playing horns, a penguin on drums, a bear with a tambourine, and a hippo playing the violin.

The scene at fictional Wooster Hotel, where Ashleigh goes to interview director Roland Pollard, was shot at The Bowery Hotel in the East Village. As the filmmakers couldn’t interrupt the comings and goings of the hotel guests, production designer Santo Loquasto and his team built a hotel facade on a different street, and created their own lobby in the floor directly above the real one. “I used their furniture, and I made it more like their lobby,” Loquasto says. “We also used a lot of Oriental carpets and Orientalist knockoff paintings that we hung everywhere. We wanted to have a kind of 19th century hip look.“
