“The Americans” sets up camp in Bay Ridge movie theater
On Wednesday, January 13, Bay Ridge’s Alpine Cinema, 68th Street and Fifth Avenue, was transformed into a set for the FX hit TV show, “The Americans.”
Although the filming took place inside the theater throughout the day, trailers for the actors and equipment trucks were parked throughout the area on 68th Street between Fourth and Sixth Avenues and on Fifth Avenue from Senator Street to Ovington Avenue.
The Alpine Cinema’s General Manager Michael Lathourakis said that, inside, the theater “was busy with a lot of people running around.”
