Wait a minute, it has to be on the south side of Tiffany’s, because Tiffany & Co. is on a corner (ref: “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” opening sequence). I was there a few months ago, can’t remember what store is there now.

Did we finally decide that Barbara’s last name is also Katz? I know there was some discrepancy here.

Barbara was credited as Barbara Katz, but we know that credits aren’t always reliable.
