  Gurley's place of residence on the map

  Scene was shot at 673 Country Road in Hoboken, New Jersey. Hoboken is known for its “brownstones,” Victorian-style stone houses that line the streets. It is a picturesque and cozy neighborhood with pedestrian streets, many parks and restaurants, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility that contrasts with the hustle and bustle of the big city. The house that appears in the movie is a typical example of Hoboken architecture from the early 20th century. It has the charm and character that filmmakers often look for to convey a certain mood in a shot. The filmmakers probably chose this particular house because of its classic facade and its location on a quiet street, which helped create the sense of intimacy and personal space needed for the farewell scene between the characters.

• John F. Kennedy Airport

  In movie

  John F. Kennedy Airport on the map

  Scene was shot at Long Island MacArthur Airport. It is an airport owned by the Town of Islip, located in Ronkonkoma, on Long Island. Established in 1942 and began serving commercial flights in 1960, this airport serves as a convenient alternative to the congested John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports located within the city limits. It features a quieter environment and good on-time flight performance. At one time, the FAA even gave it the status of an official airport of the metropolis, putting it on par with the largest airports in New York. Why the filmmakers chose this particular airport is unknown, but perhaps they were attracted by the more convenient conditions for filming and the lack of the hustle and bustle that characterizes JFK.

  New York

• The road home

  In movie

  Scene where The cab driver strikes up a conversation with Gurley while driving her home. Once in the cab, Gurley expects a normal ride to her apartment, but it's clear from the first minutes that this evening will be different. The driver, Clark, is immediately unconventional, asking questions you wouldn't normally hear from a cabbie. Instead of the usual silence or talk about traffic, he starts talking about life, its challenges and joys. Gurley, tired from the flight and experiencing some sort of personal crisis, is at first wary, but then more and more openly enters the conversation. Clark turns out to be more than just a casual traveling companion, but a wise and insightful interlocutor. He asks questions that make her think about her relationships, her place in the world, and what she really wants out of life.

  The road home on the map

  Scene was shot All the scenes in the cab salon took place in Cinelease Studios in Jersey City. There a set of half a cab was built, and the background was created with the help of huge LED screens, on which pre-filmed views of New York night were projected. In order to recreate these views, the movie team filmed the streets of Manhattan in advance, particularly 10th Avenue between East 39th and 40th Streets, which are shown in this scene.
