Manhattan-ites, help me out with $$ and locations...

First off, was Chris and Christine's apt/loft in/near Gramercy Park, and... IS THERE ANY WAY IN HELL a personal trainer could afford even half the nut on that place? (Love the wavy light fixture over the island/bar/counter.)

Secondly, where was the first client's (was it Zizzo?) place, with the garden-like balcony, where they were eating breakfast in bathrobes? (It was a multi-story unit... I noted a Max Sauze chandelier...)

Thirdly, was Chelsea's limo and driver her own, or a shared "service", or...? And what would the out-of-pocket be for that every month? She seemed to tell her driver things she didn't even tell her girlfriend, eh?

I have a feeling she was subsidizing his lifestyle. He was barely making any money but she was probably making $5000 a week.

Late, but agree with savagesteve13. Chelsea was clearly the breadwinner in their relationship, though unclear exactly how much I think.

Can't tell you where the location you inquire about is located - perhaps Google for movie locations? Likely a hotel, however, and not a private residence - notice, he ordered breakfast sent up.

Also, FYI, most of the restaurants/bars/boutiques shown in the film are indeed fairly upscale, trendy places in NYC, at least at the time of filming.

Interesting, I too was wondering about their apartment. Seemed way too large and nice! But I agree, she was probably making upwards of $5000 per week..
