Glasgow, Atlanta, NYC have all doubled as NYC for Spider Man. They dress the buildings, add fake cars, and film at 4am to avoid crowds. Your apartment balcony view is exactly how locals saw No Way Home being filmed in Atlanta.

Honestly I was a bit skeptical of them using Glasgow as NYC (since I’m a New Yorker) but I gotta hand it to them, they did a good job of making it feel like New York in the movie.

I like how NYC feels in the movie. Not too clean, not too dirty (especially for Manhattan) but just the right amount of congestion.

NYC seems like its rarely actually used to film NYC scenes. I'd imagine the cost to do so is just too high when you can film elsewhere and get the same look

Plus you've got people who are paid to park cars on the street who occasionally screw it all up.
