   One time the used a Phila subway-surface station entrance and street   
   intersection (22nd & Market) to look like the Sixth Ave subway.  Came off   
   pretty, good, too.   
      
   In The Americans, a section of elevated track in Queens served as a   
   Philadelphia neighborhood.  They didn't bother covering up the street signs,   
   though, and Phila doesn't have any strets in the hundreds (eg no 103rd St).    
   Other than a LIRR station, I've    
   never been able to identify specific filming locations used in the show.  They   
   generally frame the image pretty tight.  I think it's mostly filmed in Queens.
