'CSI: NY' turns 100

November 18, 2008 NY (CBS) showrunner Pam Veasey has on as she darts from the docks overlooking lower Manhattan to a waiting water taxi, keeping tabs on star Melina Kanakaredes (Det. Stella Bonasera), who is walking through her scenes. Yet despite the slice of Hollywood in their front yards, locals are likely to be pointing their cameras at something else -- the skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, or even Olafur Eliasson's public art installation: a mammoth waterfall tumbling over scaffolding under the bridge itself. New York City is as much a star in the show as are its leads, Gary Sinise (Det. Mac Taylor) and Kanakaredes, which prompts the show to relocate a few times a year from Los Angeles to shoot crucial location scenes like the one they're doing today.
