Where was Across 110th Street filmed

Locations

• 420 West 160th Street & Jumel Terrace

  Scene where a more contained street segment supports moments of strategy and confrontation, where characters can be positioned closer together and the geography feels less public than major Harlem arteries, raising the risk of sudden violence.

  Real

  420 West 160th Street & Jumel Terrace on the map

  Scene was shot at the edge of Jumel Terrace near 420 West 160th Street, close to the Morris-Jumel area. This spot offers quieter side-street character, brick buildings, and a distinct neighborhood elevation change, useful for controlled staging away from the busiest avenues.

• 8th Avenue & West 125th Street (Harlem)

  In movie

  Scene where the chase for leads is shown unfolding amid regular city rhythms—cars, buses, and pedestrians—so the investigation feels pressured by time, visibility, and the practical difficulty of working in open streets.

  Real

  8th Avenue & West 125th Street (Harlem) on the map

  Scene was shot at the same Harlem junction captured from a different angle and blocking position, enabling multiple establishing and street-level shots. The crosswalks, corner curbs, and wide lanes allow controlled staging while still reading as an active, real NYC intersection.

• Lenox Avenue (between West 141st & 142nd Street)

  In movie

  Scene where the investigation is grounded in routine street movement—watching corners, approaching contacts, and moving past bystanders—so the audience feels the case unfolding in real time within a living residential-commercial block.

  Real

  Lenox Avenue (between West 141st & 142nd Street) on the map

  Scene was shot along Lenox Avenue between West 141st and West 142nd Streets, a corridor of everyday Harlem storefronts and apartment buildings. The mid-block setting gives flexible framing for walking dialogue, street observation, and background life that sells the neighborhood’s authenticity.

• West 125th Street & 8th Avenue

  In movie

  Scene where the police presence and street activity play out along a crowded avenue, letting the camera capture both surveillance-style movement and the everyday bustle that complicates identifying suspects in a dense neighborhood.

  West 125th Street & 8th Avenue on the map

  Scene was shot at the well-known Harlem hub where West 125th Street crosses 8th Avenue (Frederick Douglass Blvd). This is a wide, commercial corridor with frequent buses, retail fronts, and heavy foot traffic, offering an authentic “Harlem main street” environment for exterior action.

• West 160th Street & Edgecombe Avenue

  In movie

  Scene where the pursuit threads through a neighborhood corner that allows quick changes in direction and sightlines, supporting the feeling that suspects can disappear into side streets while police and rivals close in from multiple angles.

  Real

  West 160th Street & Edgecombe Avenue on the map

  Scene was shot at an intersection near Edgecombe Avenue, a street associated with historic Harlem residential blocks. The area’s apartment rows, corners, and intermittent greenery provide a believable urban backdrop for surveillance and street-level tension without relying on recognizable tourist landmarks.

• West 160th Street & Saint Nicholas Avenue

  In movie

  Scene where the search pressure escalates in a more residential-feeling area, where officers and suspects can be framed against long sidewalks and building lines that heighten the sense of being followed without obvious escape routes.

  Real

  West 160th Street & Saint Nicholas Avenue on the map

  Scene was shot at a Washington Heights/Harlem-adjacent corridor where St. Nicholas Avenue crosses West 160th Street. The location includes typical prewar apartment facades, sloping streets, and longer blocks that read well for patrol movement and tense street conversations.
