Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles filming locations in New York City! The Original!

The ORIGINAL Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie EXPLODED onto the screen in 1990 and for us 80's/90s kids, it was one of, if not THE Greatest movie of ALL TIME! Turtle Power was all the rage as these original Heroes in a Half Shell came to life via the Jim Henson creature shop!
Now I had known the movie was filmed primarily in North Carolina on massive New York backlot sets, but while wandering in the city last year I found out to my surprise and pleasure that the original NINJA TURTLES DID do some filming in the Big Apple! 🍎
Just enough to spend a day hunting down as many TMNT I locations as we can, and a few BONUS locations from Part II; SECRET OF THE OOZE!
We should note there are a few more establishing shots and some shots of the Foot Lair supposedly on Roosevelt Island, we didn't have time to track down. But we did discover some places that at least at first glance appear to be previously unlisted on the internet! So lets hop to it!
