- I lived in NYC for three years and visited many of the spots featured in “Home Alone 2.”
- Scenes from the 1992 movie look similar to NYC today. Some places, though, closed or never existed.
- Here’s a look at how the movie holds up to reality.
Early every holiday season, I make a cup of hot cocoa and watch one of the “Home Alone” movies .
For me, the Christmas season means endless holiday movies . A worldwide favorite is the “Home Alone” franchise.
The series comprises five films created by John Hughes and directed by a slew of famous directors, like Chris Columbus .
Each film has all the essential elements a winter movie needs: the holiday season, great characters, funny bad guys, surprising cameos , and a plot full of twists and turns.
After living in the city where “Home Alone 2: Lost In New York” was shot, it quickly became my favorite film from the series.
20th Century Fox
“Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” is a John Hughes and Chris Columbus collaboration following the first “Home Alone” movie, which took place in the Chicago suburbs .
