Any Ghostbusters fans in the house? Then the fire station at 14 North Moore Street should look familiar to you, it’s home to Ghostbusters Headquarters! The bright red doors of Hook & Ladder Company 8 have served as a backdrop for thousands of photos over the years, you couldn’t miss them if you tried.
Funny enough, the firehouse was selected for the supernatural comedy franchise because the script envisaged Ghostbusters as a public service (much like a fire department) and one of the actors liked the look of this particular firehouse.
Decades later and the firehouse remains one of the top attractions in Tribeca. Fans make pilgrimages to take photos with the full-size replica Ghostbusters sign (which was donated to the firehouse in 2021). But take note, Hook & Ladder Company 8 is a working firehouse so you’ll need to be mindful of keeping the egress clear if taking photos.
