NYC Film Locations for Billions on Showtime

17. Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Protection

Wags is gunning to get the last burial plot in Manhattan (a claim which is not quite true, since both Old St. Patrick’s and Trinity Church’s uptown location still offer burials). In Billions, the last spot is shown to be at the Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Protection, located at 59 E 2nd Street in the East Village, located in the former Olivet Memorial German Reformed Church, a building designed by Josiah Cady. In real life, the cemetery across the street is actually the New York Marble Cemetery, which operates separately from the church and is only accessible a few times a year.
