Which NYC Location Did Not Appear in Black Swan?

And the answer is ...

d) Mount Sinai Hospital

Natalie was on Broadway, Bowling Green, and the Brooklyn Museum, but she never went to Mount Sinai. Although she made several trips to the hospital, the one you see in the film is Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center, in Brooklyn.

New York Trivia Tuesday

One of the biggest movies of 2010, Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman as a disturbed ballet dancer, owes a lot to New York City. Director Darren Aronofsky got his first inspiration from watching his sister dance at New York's High School of Performing Arts. Later, he would talk to dancers in the Bolshoi Ballet about their experiences when he visited Lincoln Center.

As the theater for Natalie Portman's ballet company in the film, Lincoln Center makes many appearances. But other NYC locations also pop up in the film. Which New York locale did not appear in Black Swan?

a) Broadway
b) Bowling Green
c) the Brooklyn Museum
d) Mount Sinai Hospital

Check back on Thursday for the answer to this week's trivia question!
