Friends with Benefits in New York

1. GQ Magazine
The front of this Rockefeller Center building is used to feature the headquarters of GQ, the magazine of which Dylan becomes artistic director. The choice of the building is a nice wink, since before it became the Bank of America’s, it was originally the Associated Press’s building. The bas-relief above the main entrance symbolizes five journalists at work. Entitled “News” and the work of Isamu Noguchi, it was completed in 1937 and was at the time the largest stainless steel bas-relief in the world.
Address: 50 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, USA

3. Cafe Habana
Jamie (Mila Kunis) and Dylan (Justin Timberlake) have lunch one-on-one and talk for the first time about their lovely lives in this delicious Cuban restaurant that Justin Timberlake is used to frequenting in reality.
