NY movie scene location?

[Lorix2]

Since I am a huge movie buff and love NY city I'd like to know where this scene was filmed from Terms of Endearment.

I watched again for the 200th time last night on a cable channel.

It's where Emma & Patsy have lunch with Patsy's friends and when they go outside on what looks like a terrace and you see the Brooklyn bridge, then across the water you see the twin towers, etc..

Where is this terrace? Does this restaurant exist?

Just some silly info I'd like to know.

Thanks if you can help

It's been so long since I've seen the movie I can't say for sure but, judging by your description, I think it's The River Cafe. Here's a link (sadly, the WTC is no longer in the skyline picture).

River Cafe

I just found a movie trivia site (can't seem to link it for some reason) and they cite the River Cafe as the location for the scene you mention.

Not sure if this is the same one that Pam is referring to but the site we use all the time is
www.imdb.com (stands for internet movie data base) There's all kinds of interesting info and trivia.

I found the site when I was looking to confirm about the River Cafe -- it's www.fast-rewind.com Looks like the specialize in the 80's.

I'm always trying to place locations in movies that are set in New York!

I love it when they are really unrealistic-- I think it was "Men in Black" when Will Smith is running past the Guggenheim and then right after that he is in front of Grand Central Station. It's kind of a secret joke for people who know better.

PamOKW- thanks once again, can't wait to visit that site.

swanmom - thanks, I love imdb too! We'll have to go check this fast-rewind now too. I love this stuff.

Jen D - I can see why you love to see where they are in NY. My DH was born in Brooklyn.
