Named here by Brooklyn Heights’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Brooklyn Heights, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Boardwalk Empire 2010–

“The neighborhood is a popular destination for many TV and film producers, and has been used both for interior and exterior shoots in projects that included Boardwalk Empire, St. James Place, White Collar, and Hostages.” Wikipedia
