You shouldn’t have to pay for a tour to stop at the sites of the best show based in New York City (sorry, Sex and The City). Here are my top 4 sites of The Gossip Girl series.

    Lotte New York Palace

    Serena Van Der Woodsen’s Apartment

      Lotte New York Palace is about a 30 minute walk and about one mile from Bethesda Terrace and Fountain where Chuck and Blair got married. The Lotte lobby and court yard is open to the public. The Christmas tree outside of the apartment is gorgeous. (Obviously only displayed during The Holidays). They had a few tables in the courtyard where you can sit down to stare at the tree and take in the Gossip Girl vibes.

      Bethesda Terrace

      Where Chuck and Blair Got Married

      My personal photos of Bethesda Terrace were horrid due to the natural lighting in the background and the lack of lighting I was able to take in my photos so I won’t spare you the disappointment. This photo comes from CentralPark.org and is gorgeous. I love how beautiful the inside is, comparable to a cathedral’s design and right on the other side is the fountain. The stairs facing towards the fountain are on the opposite side.

      Dylan’s Candy Bar

      The one that was on Gossip Girl is located on 1011 Third Avenue however, there are several Dylan Candy Bar’s throughout the city. I was very surprised that they not only had candy but you can order ice cream, coffee, and other desserts.

      The Met Steps

      Oh… to pretend to be like Queen B 😉

      The Met is about a 15 minute walk and half a mile from Bethesda Terrace.
