    Bethesda Terrace & Fountain

    The Angel of the Waters fountain and ornate Bethesda Terrace provided the romantic heart of Gossip Girl. This is where the iconic Serena and Blair reconciliation took place in Season 1, Episode 3 — and fun fact: the bench they sat on in that scene was actually brought in by the production team and doesn't normally exist there! The intricate Minton tile ceiling of the arcade and sweeping views of The Lake made this one of the most visually stunning locations used throughout the series. In the Season 6 finale, Chuck and Blair chose this exact spot for their intimate wedding ceremony, bringing their epic love story full circle. Bethesda Terrace represented where characters could reveal their true feelings, away from the scheming and social climbing of the Upper East Side.
