"To completely transform modern New York City back to the 1880s, the crew laid down massive textured carpets over the asphalt to perfectly mimic historic stone streets. There are over 350 background actors fully dressed in period-accurate costumes, alongside dozens of real horse-drawn carriages filling the block."
"Carts with period-accurate souvenirs for what appears to be a celebration of the Statue of Liberty's arrival from France. Extras held American flags while red, white and blue banners decorated the street and fake ads plastered nearby walls. Crew in windows threw confetti down at the parade and beautiful horses clomped through the set."
"The drama series, from creator Julian Fellowes ( Downton Abbey), transports viewers to the Gilded Age in New York City, circa the 1880s, where old money families like the van Rhijn and new money families like the Russells vie for top social billing while trying to avoid scandal. It features a large ensemble cast including Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Audra McDonald, Cynthia Nixon and Christine Baranski."
"While we didn't see a large group of the shows stars, at one point, MickMickNYC captured Larry Russell (Harry Richardson) running through the parade in a panic."
