    Mythical place for movie buffs. It's a shame it's not signposted. And the locals don't know anything about it. Uppsss there are no more mythomaniacs left!

    Billy Wilder’s romantic comedy starred Tom Ewell as a frustrated publisher of pulp fiction, whose wife and children escaped the Manhattan summer heat for Maine. Left alone in the simmering city, he befriends his upstairs neighbor, played by Monroe in one of her defining roles as a ditzy glamour model. For the subway scene, the unlikely couple had just been to the Trans-Lux theatre on Lexington, to see the “Creature from the Black Lagoon.” Hearing an approaching subway train, Monroe stepped onto the grate, having her skirt blown high by the train passing underneath, saying “ooh do you feel the breeze from the subway, isn’t it delicious.” Minds across the country were simultaneously blown.

    If you love The Seven Year Itch and 50s cinema, this is one of the spots you can’t miss. There are no plaques or signs and no one bats an eye lid on this historic place, but that makes it even more special.

    It took a while to find this spot and verify it was correct. I was stunned there is nothing to show you this is “it”. I would have thought the local restaurant beside it would put up a plaque to show fans “here it is” and maybe a promotion “mention the plaque for 10% off” a missed opportunity

    Unfortunately no sign that this was Marilyn Monroe’s grate. It’s quiet sad, that you actually have to search for it and try to locate it by identifying pictures. This place could be way better, when there would actually be kind of like a little memorial of her.

    They should really put a bronze statue of her there. That would make that site very cool to go to! It was still cool to visit it.
