The ever helpful and informative Craig Hammerman of Community Board 6 sent this note from ABC about  Friday’s filming of the TV show Ugly Betty in the Slope.

ABC Studios East will be filming scenes in this area for the third season of the show, UGLY BETTY. We will be working in the area on Friday, December 5th 2008 between the approximate hours of 5pm-6am.

In order to facilitate filming, we will need to hold parking for filming and for equipment trucks beginning Friday December 5, 2008 at 7:00am. The streets affected will include:

·           7th Avenue between Union Street and 1st Street

·         President St between 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue

We are aware of the inconvenience caused by our activities and apologize in advance.  If you have particular concerns (scheduled deliveries, parking difficulties, construction, accessibility needs, etc.) that must be addressed, please call the Locations Department at (718) 906-3400.  We will do everything possible to find a mutually agreeable solution
