Classic Mr NYC

One of the many lies told about the new mayor was that he would be bad for business. They'll flee! New York City will become an economic graveyard! 

Well, the opposite is true, especially when it comes to film and television production.

This has been a record year for productions in NYC and the revenues are pouring in. New studio spaces have been built -- including one by Robert De Niro and his son (who I went to school with decades ago but that's irrelevant).

If fact, NYC is almost at production/revenue levels with (gulp!) California! 

I wrote about this in 2011 and called it Hollywood on the Hudson -- and it seems to be more true than ever more than 15 years later!
