A close encounter with Law and Order SVU

First, let me tell you that I'm not the fan  kind of person, but Law and Order is the only TV show I watch on TV and the only reason why I still pay cable TV, my mother and boyfriend are sick and tired of me watching the same episodes over and over. To me, this is the most New York City TV show on TV, even more than Friends. Action takes place on the real streets and even if you have never been in NYC before you can still get to know the city through this show.

So, anyways, last Sunday on our way to the Frick collection (which by the way it's really beautiful inside and outside and you should try to visit during your stay in NYC) on the upper east side, Sabri spotted a pink sign on the streets which announced that Law and Order would be shooting between Madison and 76 st on Tuesday. Sabrina already knows that I'm kind of a Law and Order fan because I even have a mug from the TV show, yes seriously, so she told me and shared the precious information with Dani, who is also my roommate and Law and Order fan.

So yesterday, when we finished our XWG lesson, we decided to see if we might get lucky and see some action on the set. As soon as we arrived to the streets previously mentioned we could see gigantic RVs and many many frozen young producers who kept going from RV to RV and talking on their speakerphones. It didn't take us a really long time to find out where the the actual shooting was taking place and surprisingly ICE-T said hello to us and we could even take a picture with him!

A later later we spotted detective Rollins on the set and she also let us take a picture with her, she asked us where we were from and we she found out we were Argentinians she said: "River or Boca?". She was quite funny and friendly.

So I think this was also a great experience, to actually see how my favorite TV show is filmed and to see the actors and actresses was A W E S O M E. Period. Even though we didn't see Olivia Benson, we do love you Olivia and I'm really sorry for my mother and my boyfriend but more than ever this is the only TV show that I will ever watch on TV.

Finally for those of you who are also Law and Order secret fans let me post the intro video, we all know the melody!
