Once Upon a Time is still in Chelsea, NYC, for scenes of Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) stirring up trouble but with a different downtown Vancouver location as the Manhattan art district — the west side of Victory Square with the empty Pappas Furs building as The Wizard of Oak, Repurposed Furniture Store.
Robin Hood enters The Wizard of Oak and not long after two flashing NYPD squad cars come roaring to a halt outside and police officers follow him into the “repurposed furniture store”.
It might have something to do with Robin Hood (Maguire) galloping on a white horse through the streets of Manhattan. Fairy tale characters have a habit of getting arrested in the Big Apple. Remember what happened to Hook?

**** I owe Once Upon a Time crew an apology for walking through today’s shot and possibly ruining a take. I thought production had moved inside and suddenly their two NYPD squad cars roared around the corner beside me.
