Whether it’s “the Big Apple” or “the city that never sleeps,” no matter how you refer to NYC, The Real Housewives of New York City Season 16 cast simply calls it home. The glittering lights, landmarks, traffic, and beauty of the city have been the main filming backdrop since RHONY first debuted in 2008, and it’s still true nearly two decades later.
While we’ll have to wait and see where the RHONY Season 16 cast, including Carole Radziwill, Erin Lichy, Sai De Silva, Jessel Taank, Hailey Glassman, Daisy Toye, and Erika Hammond, filmed this season, in the past, the cast has also traveled out of the city to locales including The Berkshires, Sag Harbor, and South Hampton, while also vacationing internationally in spots like St. John, St. Barths, Morocco, and more recently, Anguilla.
Through it all, they always find their way back to New York City. Find out more about RHONY’s filming locations in NYC and beyond below.

New York City is the largest city in America, with a population estimate of more than 8.5 million people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It’s located along the southern tip of New York State, along the East Coast of the U.S. It’s surrounded by several bodies of water, including the Atlantic Ocean, New York Harbor, Hudson River, East River, Harlem River and Long Island Sound.
The city is made up of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island.

Where does Erin Lichy live?
Erin, her husband Abe Lichy and their four children moved into an Upper West Side townhouse in July 2025, Erin shared with Bravo Insider ahead of RHONY Season 16.
Erin’s kept mum on details of her new Manhattan home so far in Season 16. “Everyone’s like, where’s the fricking house tour?” she joked to Bravo Insider, but revealed the decorating is still a work in progress. “I’m like, ‘Can I just hang the drapes up?’ Like, let me finish.”
The ‘Wives made visits to Erin’s Sag Harbor vacation home during RHONY Seasons 14 and 15, but during the Sept. 15 episode, Erin revealed the home was extensively damaged.
“We find out we had a burst pipe in our bedroom ceiling, and the entire house is flooded,” she explained to producers. She added it was devastating for her family: “This is our happy place. This is where we go every single weekend. And we renovated it. We poured our heart and soul into it.”
Where does Sai De Silva live?
Where does Jessel Taank live?
Jessel, her husband Pavit Randhawa, and their twin sons Kai and Rio, live in a Chelsea apartment. Jessel gave Bravo Insider a tour of the home back during RHONY Season 14, and shared that her building was built in 1887 and once served as a dried goods emporium.
When describing her decor preferences, she said, “As you can see, we love a neutral. Everything’s cream and beige, and will soon be brown, because I have twins and they love to get dirty.”

Where does Hailey Glassman live?
Hailey shared during the Sept. 8 episode that she has two homes in Manhattan: one with her husband of 15 years, Ruben, and her own, new, “pied-à-terre” in Hell’s Kitchen.
She described her Hell’s Kitchen pad as a solo sanctuary away from her husband. “Honestly, I would recommend a pied-à-terre to all women in a long-term relationship,” she added.
Where does Daisy Toye live?
Daisy, her husband Eugene Toye, and their son Quinton live in an apartment in Battery Park City.
Daisy admitted during the Sept. 8 episode that their home is modest, and she once worried about impressing her celebrity makeup client, Martha Stewart.
“The first time Martha came to my house, I was so nervous. ‘Oh my god, it’s not nice enough!’ But like, now, I don’t care,” Daisy confessed to producers. “Like, I live in a little two-bedroom apartment with popcorn ceilings.”
Where does Erika Hammond live?
“We were inspired by the idea of youthful serenity—spaces that feel elegant and polished, but still have this fun, modern energy that really reflects Ankur and Erika’s vibe and everything they’ve built together,” their designer Julien Albertini told the outlet.
The home has an airy, open layout, with lots of light and artwork on display, and also includes a theatre room.
