10. 991 Fifth Avenue Has Been Used as a Film Set

The former Dining Room

The other way to catch a glimpse of this building is through television shows. Madam Secretary has been filmed here, as well as movies like the iconic Green Card with Gerard Depardieu and Andie McDowell. In Green Card, a dining room scene takes place in what was the original dining room of the mansion.
Here are some additional photographs of the interior of 991 Fifth Avenue:
