Back in the '80s, rents were cheap so you could totally swing living in Manhattan and still have a reasonable budget for leather and spandex to make your costume.

This map today, most of the lower level heroes are far in the outer boros.

Yeah there’s no way Peter Parker could currently live in Chelsea as a post-graduate photographer

Fun fact! The location marked on the map for the Marvel Mansion is also the location of The Frick Collection on E.70th. the Frick Mansion was one of Stan Lee's favorite places in the city and he based the marvel Mansion off of it as well

Three things I loved in Spider-Man: Homecoming:

  1. They no longer live in Forrest Hills. His stop is Court Square so they live in Long Island City, which is now more like Forrest Hills in the comics.

  2. When Spidey goes to fight neighborhood crime, he doesn't really find much except someone stealing a bike. It was nice to see NYC not being depicted as a 1980s hellscape for once.

  3. Unrelated to NYC, but Marissa Tomei is in her mid-50s, which is the actual age of Aunt May in the comics.

His apartment building was filmed in Sunnyside on 43rd street, so I would say he actually lives in Sunnyside, not LIC.

Fun fact: Frank Castle rarely goes more than a mile outside of Greenpoint. Why The Punisher is so hard to find is beyond me.

I'll be the one to say it, but Bay Ridge is in the south west of Brooklyn.

Also fun fact, it used to be a Norwegian neighborhood. It still has a Norwegian day parade.

The rent is cheaper because everything is destroyed on a regular basis every Tuesday.

The black arrow is pointing (roughly) towards Bay Ridge. Which would have been a totally logical place to find Thor back in the day.
