Watching an episode of Burt Reynolds' short-lived 1966 crime drama HAWK had me a bit curious as to the locale used for the end credits. The show was filmed in New York, and the end credits have Burt cruising along a strip of the city at night time. Perhaps one of the NY Mobians might know off hand if this was shot on 42nd Street or otherwise recognize the locale.

The business signs I spotted as the credits ran: Wallace, Crossroads, Castro Convertibles, Buitoni Italian Foods, Loew's State (playing LADY L), Bond Clothes ("America's Largest Clothier"),Howard Johnson, Chefs, Tie City, Regal Shoes, what looks like Lofts Cantina, and Woolworth's.

The Howard Johnson's Times Square, which closed earlier this year, was at 1551 Broadway on W. 46th St. (or 45th; I can't recall). The State theater, also shuttered, had been absorbed by the Virgin Megastore across from the HoJos on Broadway.

Yeah, that's definitely the northern part of Times Square, Broadway from roughly 44th to 46th streets. (HoJo's was on 46th Street.) I remember shopping at the Bond Men's Clothing store there and the Woolworth. (Woolworth's in Times Square! What a concept.) The Loew's State was right there on the east side of Broadway between 45th and 46th Streets--it was still a single screen in 1966, but not for much longer--but it and the building it was in were torn down in 1987 to make way for a new skyscraper and the ground-floor Virgin Megastore, with a multiplex theater in the sub-sub-sub basement also called the Loew's State.
