- “Home Alone” was one of the most successful Christmas films of all time. In 1992, just two years later, the sequel was released in cinemas: In "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York", Kevin McCallister is not forgotten at home, but accidentally gets on a plane to New York City - while his family flies to Florida. In this video I show you the filming locations in the "Big Apple". And of course the Plaza Hotel, Central Park and many other iconic places are also part of this tour.
A film by Matthias Schwarzer.

7:11 you miss one thing, The statue mount is still there, You can see where they had mount it. 28:43 since you pinpoint that, In high def you can clearly see those are fake from a re-master video. I think they re-created that to make time for shooting. Since it is a busy location, It would make since that they had to do it to move production faster.
Great video. Home Alone, Nintendo, Sega Genesis, made the early 90's a very exciting time to be a kid. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Nintendo and Sega genesis were my days of growing up.
Really well done!
I applaud the World Trade Center appreciation you have shown. Much more respectful than what I would have expected from a home alone video.
Also, the tunnel scene really seems to have had been recreated. There’s just so much that’s different that’s not likely to have just changed from the actual location. I’m sure the director (or whoever decides) thought the location looked nice but needed a better layout or maybe they just couldn’t film there because of scheduling or whatever.
A few years ago we had a flight transfer at Ohare airport in Chicago. And it was such a cool thing to walk through the airport where they filmed those scenes. It looks almost identical still monies a few modern additions.
Great job brother!
Home alone and home alone 2 lost in New York was the best christmas films for childreen. Macaulay Culkin was a very sweet boy. Chris Columbus and John Hughes was very great. Rest in peace John Hughes.😢😢😢
yes they were written by John Huges and directed by Chris Columbus.
26:00 - So, I have researched this topic: the tunnel was reproduced in the studio to make it easier to film with pigeons...and it actually makes sense. In fact, if you pay close attention, there is something artifactual in that frame. It reminds me a little bit of the Mary Poppins sets, I don't know if I'm making the point. As a child you didn't pay attention to it, now it's quite obvious.
That explains the nonexistent stairs, the shorter tunnel, and the different stones. 😉
Once again. Delightful Matthias. The work you put into these videos is extraordinary including the planning and plotting of you saying to us Merry Christmas in the middle of summer in Jersey City knowing way back then that this was your Christmas episode. Thank you and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. "2024? Oh, Jesus." so funny there at the end.
Great job done ... Enjoyed a lot ... My favorite filming locations ❤
Nice coverage.of the locations. And most of the tunnel stuff was definitely filmed at a studio recreation. Aside from the clearly shorter tunnel length (one overhead light in the movie vs three in the park), you can tell it's an indoor stage by the clean sound recording and detailed lighting design in the scenes. (BTW, the alley scene was also shot in Chicago.)
Beautiful reaction !!!
Great effort Matthias and yes, still remembering those movie moments during each Christmas :)
Amazing video my dude!
Another great episode!
Good job . From Argentina, have happy holidays and we will meet again in 2024.
Thank for showing all of this. Too many changes in New York City, and in the U.S. in general. I don't know why people change things. To me, the past looks better than now. I would have left everything the same.
What they've done with the facade of this magnificent landmark is nothing short of awful. It used to be so warm and lively.
СПАСИБО
The dining outside is different too the sidewalk Kevin walked down is covered with table and chairs now...
That scene at the tunnel was actually shot on a sound stage, not in the park
I’m amazed New York is doing so well after the attacks in 11th of September 2001
@Matthias Schwarzer next you should do Home alone 3 please reply
👍👍
Duncan Toy Chest was based on FAO Schwarz
That was in Chicago
never i heard 1996 Independence Day ?
Thank you I wept at the twin towers it’s always difficult to go to the financial district for myself ! Great job Matt
If it was my hotel I would also make them put me in the movie
I enjoy your videos.
I do wish to mention, hopefully without sounding rude: limousine has the final i pronounced as the German “ie”(zB hier) rather than German “i”(zB the i in bitte). Your English is still much better than my German.
Supposedly the uncle's house is real and up for sale.
See:
51 West 95th Street (between Columbus and Central Park West)
Like I said in the video: The address is real - but you won‘t find the house from the movie there.
Don't watch Home Sweet Home Alone released in 2021. It is really bad. Disney was trying to recreate the original Home Alone
