You can get here on the #1 subway to 116th Street. Or, for better views, the M4 or M104 bus along Broadway.
The movie opens at Columbia University, where the Ghostbusters were faculty members. Here you see the north side of the main quadrangle on campus. The Department of Psychology and Parapsychology is in the next building to the right.

At left we are looking the other direction across the south side of the main quadrangle at Columbia University.
Schermerhorn Hall is where you find Columbia University's School of Psychology and Parapsychology
Only psychology is mentioned on the campus maps, presumably because those maps are somewhat out of date.
|
The offices of Doctors Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, and Egon Spengler are here in Schermerhorn Hall in the School of Psychology and Parapsychology. |
The sign says:
"Behavioral Research Lab
Participants Enter Here"
Watch out for those electrical shocks!
The main building of the New York Public Library was the site of the symmetrical book stacking incident, just like what was seen in the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.
The library is on 5th Avenue between 42nd and 41st Streets. Most any subway line and many of the buses can get you to within a few blocks of here. To get here from Columbia, if you are following these in the order of appearance in the movie, the quickest way would be to take the #1 subway to Times Square and walk one block east on 42nd Street. A more scenic route would be the #104 bus, which will take you down Broadway to Columbus Circle, across Central Park South to 7th Avenue, down that to 42nd Street, and across 42nd past the library and continuing past Grand Central Station.
Ghostbusters headquarters is at 10 North Moore Street.
Take the #1 subway to the Franklin Street station. Exit by the stair at the rear of the southbound platform, and you're right across the street where this picture was taken.
Or, the #20 bus runs right past here, and the #6 runs just one block to the east.
| Ghostbusters headquarters has been converted into an active NYFD station. |
This New York MTA subway entrance is for the #1 train running up Broadway at 66th Street. This is the 66th Street — Lincoln Center Station. Lincoln Center is across Broadway to your left in this view.
Lincoln Center is on Broadway at 62nd through 66th Streets. Take the #1 subway to its 66th Street station, shown above.
Or, take any one of the #5, 7, and 104 buses running up and down Broadway, or the #7 and 11 running down Columbus Avenue, or the #66 cross-town bus.
55 Central Park West, at right, is the site of the apartments of Dana Barrett and Louis Tully.
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, at left, has been fully restored since its damage by Gozer the Destroyer.
These are on Central Park West between 65th and 66th Streets. Simply walk one block east from Lincoln Center. Or, the #10 and 20 buses pass by on CPW.
Here we are looking north up CPW past 55 Central Park West and the apartments of Dana Barrett and Louis Tully.
At right is the entrance to 55 Central Park West.
These are the upper structures of 55 Central Park West.
Unseen in this picture is the magnesium-tungsten alloy used in the building's construction.
Tavern on the Green is in Central Park, just across Central Park West from Dana and Lewis' apartments.
55 CPW is visible in this picture, toward the right above the trees.
Here you can see the greenhouse-like dining area of Tavern on the Green.
Tom's Restaurant, the restaurant you always see in "Seinfeld", is just down Broadway from Columbia at 112th Street. That's the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine on Amsterdam visible where 112th tees into Amsterdam Avenue.
