Forty-three TV shows and movies took $1.2 billion in New York state tax breaks from 2015 to mid-2018, state records show.

New York state sets aside a generous $420 million a year for tax breaks for film studios that make movies and TV shows in the state.

That’s more than any other tax break program in New York state. For comparison, the state’s Excelsior Business Program, previously called Start-UP NY, was expected to wipe out only $180 million in taxes in the latest fiscal year.

And Law and Order and Sopranos was filmed in NJ.

Oh and Kevin Smith movies. And I think Harold and Kumar go to White Castle

I know several movies were filmed in Princeton too. I saw them filming
