The former McBurney YMCA — Chelsea, Manhattan

In the New York guidePlan a day here

On screen

Another moment of the massacre: in Las Vegas, Moe Greene, the man who refused to sell, lies on a massage table. He puts on his glasses, and a single shot hits him in the eye. On screen it happens in Vegas, but according to movie-locations it was filmed in the steam room of the McBurney YMCA on 23rd Street in Manhattan.

The place today

The West 23rd Street building housed the McBurney YMCA from 1904 to 2002. The Y then moved to 14th Street, and the building became private lofts, seen from outside only. A few steps along the same street is the famous Chelsea Hotel.
