Annoying

So something that really bugs me, but will probably not bother anyone who is not a New York resident but I HATE it is when TV shows make distance inaccuracy errors. 3 examples: 2 today that I just saw on a Sex and the City episode and one froma movie.
1. I just saw Carrie and Samantha walking down 6th Ave and 10th St. they said, come on, hurry up, we don't want to be late for our reservation at Pastis. Well, Pastis is a restaurant on 9th ave and 12th st. NOT close by any means to where they were. And dressed in the outfits they were in, they weren't going to be able to walk.
2. Carrie was supposed to have a birthday party at il Cantinori, an italian restaurant at about 8th st and broadway. Well, Stanford went to the wrong place, a mexican restaurant called el cantanora on 11th and University. Those are RIGHT by each other. MAYBE 5 blocks away. There should be no reason that he couldn't have popped over in under 5 minutes to the right place.
3. In the movie The Devil Wears Prada the main character says, I have to get from my office (midtown) to Magnolia cupcake (WAAAY down and over in the west village) and back to my apartment (upper east side) before 7 (it was like 615.) That is not possible at ALL, especially at that time of day. She had 50 blocks at least down to Magnolia, in a taxi traffic would be horrible, then there is always a line at that place! Then to get back up to the upper east side, it's roughly 80 blocks up and 6 over. A REALLY long way. No chance she could do it in the time allotted unless she had a hovercraft. :)
