The Upper East Side brownstone is currently owned by Peter Bacanovic , of Martha Stewart insider trading infamy. He bought it in 2000 for 1.88 (more like, 'snagged it'. I had no idea prime property in NYC was going for that 12 yrs ago ) and has it on the market for: $5,850,000.00. Here's the skinny if you need more deets

The party scene, and many others, were filmed on a sound stage about 10 miles from where I sit typing this. But look at 0:16 in the film below (try to ignore the, very un-P.C. Mickey Rooney in 'yellow-face') at least they tried to recreate the actual interior .

and by odd coincidence, the town house in which Truman Capote lived, while writing Breakfast At Tiffany's, is also on the market.

.....and to be honest, this one rings my bell by a mile.
"....The Brooklyn Heights, Greek-Revival four-bay townhouse was built in 1839 on a four-square country villa plan. Three-story elliptical mahogany staircase with rosette oculus window at the top. Double parlor with 12+/- ceilings. Interior period detail designed by Minard Lafever. 40+/- columned Charleston porch along rear of house leading to garden." read more here

Capote lived in the Garden Apartment for ten years. It's yours for $13,995, 000.00. Of course, it never matters what it is, I always choose the most expensive.
that is all.
