SHOOT: ONCE UPON A TIME Turns Vancouver Club into NYPD 35th Precinct

Once Upon a Time’s spring premiere next year is entitled New York City Serenade. Showrunner Adam Horowitz shared the title spoiler in mid-November and we’ve seen several location shoots for episode 3×12 in downtown Vancouver dressed as New York City — from Gastown’s Koret Lofts to Stanley Park dressed as Central Park to the Vancouver Club as NYPD 35th Precinct to Yaletown’s Brix restaurant and wine bar as a NYC restaurant Ostria. And even more of us have seen prop NYC cabs either parked or circling city blocks from downtown to Yaletown.

I first saw filming for New York City Serenade in Stanley Park but withheld the photos of Hook’s arrest by New York police as spoilers. They still are and I would have kept them until spring but didn’t expect OUAT to turn the venerable Vancouver Club into NYPD 35th Precinct in the middle of Vancouver’s Business District.

  1. Whoa. I wonder what Hook did to get arrested. Do you know? Can u tell me? I know we see him and Emma talking in that same park. Did she have his character arrested?

    1. I AM GUESSING FROM PHOTOS. AFTER THE CURSE IS CAST,SHE NO LONGER REMEMBERS WHO SHE IS. WHEN HE EXPLAINS AND HANDS HER A BOTTLE OF POTION(SPELL). IM SURE HE IS TRYING TO GIVE HER , HER MEMORY BACK. SHE HAS HIM ARRESTED SAYING HE IS NUTS?

  2. Notice that in some pictures (those where Hook is offering the blue bottle to Emma) the bottle has a cork.
    In the final picture where they hug, you can’t see a cork any more. She clearly accepted, drank the potion …then remembered Hook and hugged him. She must have had him arrested then had an epiphany –maybe she read something in the papers she was holding like adoption paperwork with her signature–or maybe a photo or even something Christopher Gorham’s character says (like he knew her from years ago, but he doesn’t know Henry or something).
