7. Washington Square Park

Though Bowie lived at 285 Lafayette Street, where tributes and memorials have been going up, he had reportedly said that his favorite place in New York City was Washington Square Park.

There’s also a great scene in the movie Francis Ha, with the soundtrack of David Bowie’s Modern Love, inspired by a scene from Leos Carax’s Mauves Sang (Bad Blood) where Denis Lavant does runs and dances to the same song.
