We have new pictures taken yesterday on the Gossip Girl set in Manhattan. One of readers, Stevie G., sent them to us with the following message:

I made a promise to an amazingly beautiful girl Jackie to take her to the set of Gossip Girl before she went back to college… I then realized that this Sunday she goes back and thanks to the OnLocationVacation… I was able to do just that! I took Jackie and her also beautiful sister Alyssa to the set today and we scored some great pictures. Thank You So Much Again!

Thank You Stevie!
