After landing at LaGuardia Airport and discovering that while his family arrived in Miami, he is in New York, Kevin takes a taxi into the city and crosses the iconic Queensboro Bridgewhich remains almost exactly the same as it was portrayed in the film.
Radio City Music Hall
As Kevin speeds through the city, the first place he stops is Radio City Music Hall. The concert hall located in Rockefeller Center, in Midtown Manhattan, maintains the façade almost the same than how it looks in the movie. The space, considered one of the main tourist destinations in the city, has presented, since 1933, an annual Christmas show called Radio City Christmas Spectacular.
Empire Dinner
Macaulay Culkin, as Kevin, also walks in front of the Empire Dinner restaurant, which is a icon of the West Chelsea neighborhood, since 1976. While passing through the place, the McCallister son comes across a giant Santa Claus. The restaurant and gallery is still active and accepting reservations.
The Plaza Hotel
Kevin McCallister chooses the Plaza hotel, which was then owned by Donald Trump, after seeing a commercial where they named it “The most exciting hotel experience in New York.” The building built in 1907 maintains its façade intact, while its interior continues to present the luxury portrayed in the film. At the hotel, Kevin stays in room 411, which, to date, is one of the most requested due to the nostalgia of the movie.
The Wollman Rink in Central Park
The iconic Central Park ice rink also appears in the film. While Kevin settles into luxury at the Plaza, thieves Harry and Marv, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, go skating at Wollman Rink, where they get the idea to rob the toy store.
