With Brooklyn being one of the best backdrops for some of the coolest movies and TV shows, we don’t see why the dopest Netflix series wouldn’t want to shoot here. “Orange Is The New Black” is predominately shot in New York City with some hotspots in Queens, Manhattan and lets not forget the best borough of them all, Brooklyn. (Yes, I’m being biased).

Paper Magazine ran down “13 Real Life NYC Spots Featured On Orange Is The New Black”. Lets take a look at some of the Brooklyn locations they referenced in their article, not that the other spots don’t quite matter, but you can look at that on your own time.

1. The Williamsburg Waterfront at N. 5th Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn

When Piper’s furlough dreams of burgers at The Spotted Pig fail, she settles for a Colt 45 and a fast food burger from “Storkys,” a fictional burger chain where Taystee also once worked, according to the logo on her uniform during a flashback in Season 2. Piper takes her burger and beer to the dock at East River Park on N. 5th and Kent. Even though several things have changed about the ‘burg in the last few years, the view of Manhattan from that dock is still one of the best in all of New York City.

2.  Zebulon, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (Closed)

And speaking of Williamsburg, when Piper first meets Larry, she was on her way to a show at Zebulon, a dive-y music venue that OG Williamsburgers will remember closed in 2012. It was a venue that one Yelp reviewer described as a “place [that] always made you feel like you were on the good side of an inside joke” and it was. It had a cool Parisian vibe without the snootiness and there was free live music every night. RIP.

3.  Y2K Custom Cycles, Bed Stuy, Brooklyn

The famous “tit punch” between Red and the leader of the pack, on the other hand, happened outside of Y2K Custom Cycles on the Williamsburg/Bushwick/Bed Stuy border. The Russian ladies must’ve really been going out of their way to avoid her.

4.  The Bagel Store, Williamsburg, Brooklyn

A blatant reference to local NYC food culture comes when Larry offhandedly tells Piper that he and Polly finally got a “Bagnut” — a “bagel crossed with a donut” that’s an obvious spoof of Dominique Ansel’s cronut. While the “bagnut” doesn’t exist in real life, the “cragel” does — and it’s been getting steady buzz since The Bagel Store launched the bagel-croissant hybrid this past spring. The cragel comes in plain, chocolate, cinnamon, and bacon flavors; try one out and you’ll see why this is actually a decent food reference. 

5. Fairway Market, Red Hook, Brooklyn

The Fairway in Red Hook is where Piper would consistently “forget” her reusable bags and make Officer Fisher (who used to work there) re-pack her groceries. (Fisher realizes that she recognizes Piper from “the Fairway in Red Hook” because Piper was “a pain in the ass.”) Located inside an old converted warehouse with adorable shutters, rustic trolleys, and an impressive seafood selection, it’s exactly the kind of place where you can imagine old-Piper hanging out in-between making her organic soap.
