Apparently the Gossip Girl episode has changed it's title to "The Age of Dissonance". Maybe they read the blog!
Actually, I think they changed the airing date. The episode titled "The Age of Dissonance" is airing on March 16, and the episode filmed at Old Westbury Gardens "The Grandfather", is airing on March 23.
the wedding photo scene from the movie Arthor 2011 with Russell Brand was also filmed in the yard of the house
I believe there was a music video by Jodeci that was filmed at Old Westbury Gardens...
