    New York State is home to numerous cities that have attracted movie productions in their locale. Its capital New York City is known for its magnificent cultural hubs as well as its role as the world's financial and commercial capital. The huge Central Park, skyscrapers, and Times Square, which is accentuated by the neon-lit Broadway theatre, are some of the most magnificent sights.

    The following are some of the best films shot in New York.

    The Wolf of Wall Street

    Dozy Azoff and his business partner Jordan Belfort wanted to create a modest business, and they chose a brokerage firm. Due to hard work and good fortune, this little business has grown in size and manpower to the point where it now employs up to 250 people. This firm will then expand in a short time, to the point where other businesses will begin to file their public returns through them. Dozy and Jordan, on the other hand, are not the finest of persons in terms of character, since they are both habitual abusers and liars. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that they begin to make large sums of money, so they seek to increase the amount of product they abuse, and it also affects their lying, as they have now become even larger liars. With bigger wins now, they can throw lavish parties for their employees whenever there is a business breakthrough, which is an interesting action that attracts the attention of the FBI, who are closely following the two in an attempt to catch Jordan in a conspiracy or scandal, but due to Jordan's smart moves, he starts transferring money to various locations in Europe in a large scheme of trying to account for it. Will he be able to keep eluding the FBI for a long time, and are his plans sound?

    Monty realizes that today is his last day as a free man. He gets up and schedules a get-together with friends who are completely unaware of his plans. Monty's father tries everything he can to keep his son out of jail even before the day of his trial, and to do so, he opens a pub in Queens. Monty's dreams of becoming a firefighter appear to be coming to an end as his desire for quick cash leads him to drug dealing, which has landed him in problems and sentenced him to seven years in prison. Monty's best friends are Franky and Jacob, and his greatest ambition is to spend his last day of freedom with them, seeing amazing places and having fun. Frank is a bond seller, which is a high-risk business, but unlike Monty and Frankie, who are looking for quick cash, Jacob is content with his job as an English teacher.
