Four Rye restaurants that served as filming locations for Apple TV+'s "Your Friends & Neighbors" will get a national spotlight when the show competes for Outstanding Drama Series at the 78th Emmy Awards on Monday, Sept. 14.
Sunshine Coffee Roasters, Aurora Restaurant, Ruby's Oyster Bar & Bistro and Saigon Table all appeared on screen in the Jon Hamm and Amanda Peet series, which shot extensively in Rye. The production returned to the city on June 23 to film scenes for its upcoming third season.
The show is one of five Westchester County productions heading into television's biggest night with a combined 23 nominations, according to a Westchester County press release published Wednesday, Aug. 5.
"Every project that films here supports local businesses, creates jobs and showcases Westchester to audiences around the world," County Executive Ken Jenkins said in the announcement.
HBO's "The Gilded Age" leads the Westchester contingent with eight nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. That production filmed at locations in Harrison, along with Yonkers Train Station, Great Point Studios and Lyndhurst, whose grounds doubled as Central Park. Netflix's "The Diplomat" follows with seven nominations, and FX's "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette" earned six, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. Peacock's "Poker Face" picked up one nomination for stunt coordination.
Beyond the Rye eateries, "Your Friends & Neighbors" also filmed at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, Westchester County Airport, The Brazen Fox in White Plains, Yonkers Public Library, The Belvedere Estate and Old Oaks Country Club.
A renovated 1926 Tudor estate at 19 Park Drive South in Rye, featured in the show, is now listed for nearly $8 million, according to lohud.
Apple TV+ head of programming Matt Cherniss told The Hollywood Reporter that Jon Hamm's performance "is unbelievable in that show, and deserves a nomination for sure," while praising the series-level recognition.
Season 2 premiered April 5, giving viewers more chances to spot Rye storefronts and streetscapes on a national platform. Westchester County Tourism & Film director Natasha Caputo said the county's film-friendly environment keeps productions coming back.
The Emmy Awards air Sept. 14 on NBC.
