42. False: New York Metropolis is filled with sketchy alleys
![](https://puppieslove.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/Articles/000031/image42.jpg)
New York Metropolis really has only a few alleys, regardless of what you see on TV. In Manhattan, specifically, there’s merely no room for them, so that they’re few and much between (although Queens and Brooklyn do have some).
While you’re watching crime footwear and one thing takes place in that darkish Manhattan alley, take a more in-depth look. Most of these scenes are literally shot in a single place – Cortlandt Alley in Chinatown.
