If you are a foreign film / photo production planning to work on location in the United States and / or more specifically, in the New York City area, you may or may not be aware that use of just about any private property, as well as many public venues and towns / municipalities (New York City included, for film / video) as a location will require you to provide proof of commercial liability insurance providing coverage of at least $2m US in the form of a certificate of insurance and naming same (property owner / venue / town or municipality) third-party additionally insured. These or similar conditions apply to many gear / equipment rental agreements as well.
Furthermore, any insurance you may have in your home country must provide coverage abroad and that coverage must be recognized and accepted by all parties involved in the United States.
Fear not, there are many insurance brokers nationwide in the U.S. that offer affordable short-term production insurance packages. The insurance company I usually work with was charging about $650 for a 14 day package last time I spoke with them.

Occasionally, I get emails asking how to get started in location scouting / location management. I am often suspicious that people that write these letters are looking for a way - ANY way - out of whatever it is they are currently doing (and potentially dislike) rather than actually being genuinely interested in the location services field - It’s a “real” job with lots of responsibility and very well not nearly as glamorous as you might have imagined.

It is summer and I have been receiving a number of requests lately for beach and waterfront houses, so I have pulled a number of beach house locations from my location files an added them to a beach houses album on Locamundo:
Beach Houses Location Album
These are beach houses, ocean-front and bay-front houses of many diverse types and architectural styles, located all over the New York City Tri-State area - Jersey Shore, Long Island, Hamptons and the Connecticut Shore; in the album look for the town and a short description of the style of the house.
