Above left, Joseph Gordon-Levitt rides a bike through the Upper West Side while filming scenes for the upcoming thriller Premium Rush.  The filming has been taking place throughout Manhattan, with several Upper West Side locations used.  In particular, they filmed in the high 70’s and low 80’s between Central Park West, including a shoot at Blossom restaurant (Columbus between 82nd and 83rd) and the American Museum of Natural History (Central Park West at 79th) on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  Thanks to My Upper West tipsters Lyndsey, William A., Ben T., and @LizzyBells for the information.

Also on the Upper West Side this week was former Wonder Years star and current mathematics book author Danica McKellar.  The writer, who is due in September with her first child, made an appearance at Borders Columbus Circle (in the Time Warner Center) on Wednesday to discuss and sign copies of her latest book, Hot X: Algebra Exposed.  Photos courtesy of People.com.
