NATHANIEL R in NYC, West Side Story, on the set

Pictures taken directly outside my front door today. omg, WEST SIDE STORY ("san juan hill" surely isn't foolin' anybody) is filming on the street where I live. My friend, after talking to some neighbors, believes the main filming business is going to be happening about two blocks from us (something about gels over apartment windows) so we probably won't be able to see a dancer number outside the window but we can always dream.

UPDATE: more photos after the jump

Extras in period garb strolling down the street... but the filming is one block north of here.1950s style cars as well as a school bus lining the streets. And you can see heavy cranes and the klieglights in the distance. They won't let you walk on this block (which is really three blocks since there are no side streets)
