Boardwalk Empire is currently off-air filming its 2nd season, and today they're departing their Atlantic City-in-Greenpoint boardwalk, and filming around Bowling Green and State/Broadway in Manhattan. Who cares, right? Well we care, because that is Sad Panda territory! Here's the deal, someone needs to sneak him into a scene so when next season airs we can see Sad Panda the time traveler walking around behind Nucky Thompson or whoever. Not up for a caper involving a middle-aged man dressed in a panda outfit, Steve Buscemi, and Hollywood bigwigs? Fine, at least try to get a photo of him on the set.
P.S. If Sad Panda Time Traveler isn't your thing, maybe Megan Fox and Jon Hamm are—they're also filming in the city today, as is Russell Brand (who will be filming at the NYPL tonight). Check out a full list of productions on location today here. Not that we care about celebrity sightings on this coast.
