Timeline
Day 1
Day 1 cinematic schedule in New York
- 08:30 - Start at Hudson Yards. Do a 45-minute visual briefing on where the scene was blocked, then capture low-crowd reference photos from the original shot direction.
- 10:30 - Guided filming context stop at Hudson Yards: identify exact entrances, corners, and sightlines used in Succession, then record short notes for your route journal.
- 13:00 - Lunch near Fifth Avenue at a real local spot. Keep a 60-90 minute break and map your afternoon walking/driving segment before moving to the next filming point.
- 15:30 - Continue to Fifth Avenue and Upper East Side. Split this block into two mini-scenes: one for architecture and one for character movement path recreation.
- 18:30 - Golden-hour return to Upper East Side. Recreate a final cinematic sequence, then close the day with dinner in the same district to reduce transfers and keep the route practical.

Recommendations
- Book timed-entry tickets and transport in advance for the core filming points (Hudson Yards, Fifth Avenue, Upper East Side). Morning slots usually provide cleaner photos and shorter queues.
- Keep all daily movements inside United States and prioritize same-city or nearby-district transfers so the itinerary remains realistic for walking, cycling, or short driving segments.
- Use one meal stop and one coffee stop near each main filming area to avoid route fragmentation; choose local venues with good opening-hour reliability for day-by-day consistency.
- For series-based routes, review the relevant episodes before each day to spot framing details and landmarks; for films, compare still frames and replicate camera position on site.
