Devoted fans of movies and TV shows love to make pilgrimages to the places where their favorite scenes are set. Now the New York City Mayor’s Office for Film, Theater and Broadcast is making it easier to track down locations featured in everything from “Sex in the City” and Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice” to “Spider-Man 2” and “Kinsey.”

Go to the Web site www.nyc.gov/film, click on “On Location” in the left-hand column and scroll down to “Sets in the City.” The information will help you find neighborhoods, shops, hotels, restaurants and bars visited by your favorite actors.

“Spider-Man” fans will want to check out the Flatiron Building, where the fictional Daily Bugle offices were located; Aunt May’s house, on 69th Road between Metropolitan and Sybilla Street in Forest Hills, Queens; and Joe’s Pizza, where Peter Parker worked as a deliveryman, at 233 Bleecker St. near Carmine.

“Apprentice” addicts may want to create a tasting tour of restaurants where the show has been filmed, such as Rafaella Restaurant, 384 Bleecker St.; and Bettola Restaurant, 412 Amsterdam Ave. at 79th Streett.

If you prefer Sarah Jessica Parker to Donald Trump, head for “Sex in the City” venues like Sushi Samba, 245 Park Ave.; Tartine Et Chocolat, 1047 Madison Ave.; and Cafe Edison, 228 W. 47th St..
