The location of Fox Books in the movie is the location of a real-life Barnes & Noble, on Broadway and 83rd Street on the Upper West Side. The Barnes and Noble generated considerable neighborhood opposition when it opened in the early 1990s, as many feared it would drive a local bookseller, Shakespeare & Co. on 81st Street, out of business. In 1996 they closed their doors, with their two other locations remaining open. In 2018 they announced their return to the Upper West Side, opening a store on Broadway between West 69th and 70th streets. Ironically, the big chain bookstores have been hammered by online retailers who offer even lower prices and greater convenience. Barnes & Noble's main competitor, Borders, went under in 2014. With the rollback on huge downtown stores, which have to pay extravagant fees for their leases, smaller bookstores are reappearing in key locations.
