Kaufman Astoria Studios is one of the largest and most sophisticated film and television studios on the East Coast. Many televisions shows and movies have been filmed there, including Blue Bloods, Orange is the New Black and the latest Sesame Street movie. Parking can be difficult to find in the neighborhood although there are parking lots; they are, however on the expensive side. It is a 5 minute walk from the Steinway Street subway station so that may be a better bet for you. Tours of the studio are generally not available but once a year in the summer there is a day when they open up some of the buildings and have exhibitions about doing stunts and others aspects of the industry. The Museum of the Moving Image , a museum dealing primarily with TV and movies, is on the same block in Astoria so if you happen to have some reason to go to the Kaufman Studios, you may want to go to the museum on the same day.

It is always a pleasure to visit Kaufman Astoria Studios. Although the parking can be a bit of an issue, I was lucky enough to be allowed to park in the P.C. Richard & Son lot (I asked for permission and they granted it.) The security guard (at Kaufman) was friendly, helpful, and a pleasure to speak with. As a fellow licensed New York State security guard, I like to see how others in the same field work and handle their clients. This gentleman did an excellent job. The acting world can sure be tough but when you meet kind people, it confirms that you are on the right path. I had my fitting at Kaufman and the wardrobe folks were so very sweet. Walking into a place like Kaufman always puts a smile on my face. Seeing all of the stages, the great architecture, and the fun atmosphere brings me so much joy. Although I do not live close to the studio and the traffic can be tough, arriving at Kaufman helps me to see things in a positive light. Now, if only Hollywood would call.......
Great place to work. Just bad when trying to park.
Early voting site, dropped of voting supplies. The place looked interesting, must return.
This is the closest and most convenient movie theater to me. That being said I'm here fairly often , but I can't come back again. If the film is G, PG, Or PG-13 there will definitely be a screaming child with an indifferent parent on their phone. The people that come to this theater of unbelievably disrespectful to all the other patrons, it's crazy. I went to the latest showing of the Lion King and the theater had kinda literally screaming up and down the aisles at 11pm at night. I realize that this isn't the theaters fault, and it's not their job to teach adults how to parents there kids. However, this theater makes no attempt to regulate this in any way. There are theaters that have staff walk into theaters to make sure guests are not acting like animals, but not this one. It's like the wild west in there. The stars that I AM giving it, are because the staff is nice, the food is decent , and the facilities are clean. But I go there to watch movies, and I'd rather go anywhere else to watch a movie so that I can actually enjoy it.
