New YorkThe locations you see in "Prodigal Son"were all Manhattan locations. There are four other boroughs in New York: Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and The Bronx (where Tubbs is from), but all the clips were Manhattan locations, mostly from the area called the "Upper West Side". In one scene, you can see a building with a street number "1155". That is a business location where many well-known banks, insurance companies and big name public accounting companies are headquartered. This whole area is known as "Times Square - 42nd Street". You can go to any Broadway show here, and Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall are just a few blocks away.The scenes shot by the park with Jimmy Borges are a little tough to tell which park exactly it is. It's not the most famous park in NY which would be Central Park. The park could also be Washington Square Park, but it's really hard to tell. There were possibly shots of the Guggenheim museum, when Sonny and Rico are being chased and Sonny and Rico run in different directions and Sonny runs onto the block of the Guggenheim.The scenes where Rico, Sonny and Valerie are sitting in the club "Delirious", unfortunately, that was not a real NYC club name, but the one Rico mentions in that scene, The Limelight, that was a real club. The Limelight was still around until a couple of yrs. ago when the owner was arrested for dealing drugs in his clubs. He owned more than one.The club where Sonny meets Margaret is Studio 54. That was the placefor celebrities, models, and musicians to party in the late 70's. As a matter of fact, Peter Allen, who also appears in that episode, hung out and performed there. By the early 80's, both of the club's original owners were in jail for income tax evasion, and the club closed for 15 months. It reopened, but never reached the level of popularity it had during the disco era.
