Spotting Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) on New York City's West 22nd Street (Repeatedly)
Spotting “Harry Potter” on New York’s West 22nd Street
As readers of this blog on http://www.richandfamoustours.com/ know, I’m a creature of the grimy streets of New York City, leading Rich and Famous Tours all day and sometimes at night. Well, dear blog readers who are fans of “Harry Potter” or Daniel Radcliffe, you should know that there have been several “street sitings” of Harry/Daniel--all on West 22nd Street near Sixth Avenue. I spotted him once, nonchalantly strolling west, and a couple of friends of mine have reported seeing him—also on West 22nd Street—at various times of day and night. Everyone knows he’s in town for his Broadway debut in September in “Equus” at the Broadhurst Theatre on West 44th Street. These spotting go back to mid-summer, so he’s obviously leased (or bought?) an apartment in the fashionable Chelsea neighborhood around the corner from the Flatiron Building and Ladies Mile, the historic re-born 19th century Department Store District (check my later blog). Someone should tell Mr. Radcliffe that this area is heavily populated by gay boys and a large number of gay clubs…but perhaps he knows that? Project Runway is headquartered at the nearby Atlas apartments. Drag divas like Hedda Lettuce and Brini Maxwell are on the block as well as a couple of famous newscasters (Stone Phillips anybody?)
There also are quite a number of heterosexual celebs in the area …West 22nd Street boasts Titanic's Kate Winslet with her kids and husband, director Sam Mendes (more Brits in the ‘hood?), as well as Roseanne Cash, daughter of the late Johnny Cash and June Carter of country music fame. My old pal, Broadway diva Donna Murphy has been on 22nd Street for years as well as a playwright friend of mine, and movie star Julianne Moore and Julia Roberts are not too far away. Chelsea Clinton is on West 23rd Street in the same building where Desperate Housewife Terri Hatcher keeps her New York boudoir when she’s not in L.A. filming at Universal's Wisteria Lane.
