"I just stepped out to mail a letter, grab a sandwich, and enjoy the fall sunshine when I ran smack into a gaggle of giggling middle school girls and guys holding boom mikes on what was apparently the set of Ugly Betty, right across the street from my apartment building. It looks like the MODE crew has taken over Gramercy Park to film an upcoming episode... I couldn&amp;#x27;t get my camera out quickly enough (I was shooed away by an eager production assistant who was only too excited to do his job), but I spotted Betty in a black and white houndstooth jacket, a knit hat, and her signature red glasses, and Amanda wearing a short grey faux fur jacket, blonde curls bouncing. The entire block (3rd Avenue between 20th and 21st Streets) had been given a nice little made-for-TV makeover, including the addition of a few potted plants and some phony signage on what&amp;#x27;s usually a nondescript watering hole called Bar Fly. I caught sight of the wardrobe stylist (the lint brush in hand is always a dead giveaway) and made a beeline to ask her a few questions, but I was swatted away like mosquito once again (a journalist&amp;#x27;s best quality: persistence). I&amp;#x27;ll have to keep watching to see if my apartment building and I make a cameo in an upcoming episode of one of the best fashion shows on TV...
