In the episode “Take Me as I Am, Whoever I Am,” with Anne Hathaway and Gary Carr, Hathaway’s character Lexi meets Carr’s character Jeff inside the Fairway in Red Hook, Brooklyn (“I was in cold meats and cheese, he was in fruit and veg, we knew it was love.” A coordinated dance breaks out (as imagined by Lexi) in the brick building.

The warehouse, with those awesome real shutters, was once a warehouse for William Beard and part of the industrial activities connected to the Erie Basin (itself part of the Erie Canal). “If you can find love early morning in the supermarket, you know you can trust it,” Lexi, a lawyer struggling with bipolar disorder says. The person whose essay the episode was based on says in a recent interview with the New York Times, “With John, he mentioned wanting to do the manic episode like “La La Land,” and I thought that was brilliant because that’s the way it is. Everything’s so bright. You are Mary Tyler Moore in her opening sequence.”
