Why see Tiffany's:

1. To see where Audrey Hepburn shot the classic movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's". My kids watched this movie so they're interested in seeing this movie location.


Check out the video below of the famous opening scene of the movie, "Breakfast at Tiffany's". 


The video is brought to you by deepsandwich at youtube
