Firehouse, Hook, and Ladder 8: The Real Deal
The Ghostbusters HQ is actually Hook and Ladder Company 8, a real-life firehouse located at 14 North Moore Street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan. It's been serving the community for over a century, and let's just say they've seen some interesting calls.
Don't Cross the Streams (of Tourists)
Now, before you grab your proton pack and head to Tribeca, let's manage your expectations. While the exterior of the firehouse is exactly as you remember it from the movies, the inside is strictly off-limits to civilians. It's a working firehouse, after all, and those guys have got a job to do.
But don't despair, ghostbusters-in-training! You can still get your fill of ecto-coolness by snapping a pic outside, grabbing some Ghostbusters merch from the nearby shops, or even joining a Ghostbusters fan club.
