Saturday Night Fever (1977)
One of the most iconic New York films of the 1970s, this slice-of-life about Brooklyn teenager Tony Manero (John Travolta) who escapes his mundane life on the disco stage. Featuring actual locations around Brooklyn, this film stands as a time capsule of the bygone disco age.
In one of the most memorable movie opening scenes, Tony struts his stuff down the sidewalk and stops for a couple of slices at the still-operational Lenny's Pizza at 1969 86th Street.
Tony works at a hardware store at 7305 5th Avenue in Brooklyn, which still operates today under a different name.
The Manero home is at 221 79th Street, although it is almost unrecognizable today.
Tony is outside Maguire's Candy Store (no longer in business) at 7904 3rd Avenue when his buddies pick him up for a night on the town.
Undoubtedly the most iconic location in the film is the disco club where Tony rules the dance floor, 2001 Odyssey was located at 802 64th Street before the building was demolished.
Tony and pals harass some locals in John J. Carty Park near the north side of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.
Tony is a regular at Phillips Dance Studio at 1301 West 7th Street.
On the way to his date, Tony is seen walking past what was Robert's Bakery at 7912 3rd Avenue.
Tony and Stephanie (Karen Lynn Gorney) are seen walking up 5th Avenue toward 94th Street, with the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in the distance.
