Tracy Morgan Comedy Filming In Carroll Gardens Thursday; Parking Will Be Affected

Here's the skinny on parking restrictions Thursday afternoon.

CARROLL GARDENS, BROOKLYN — TNT and TBS will be filming an episode of Tracy Morgan's "The Last O.G." in Carroll Gardens on Thursday.

That's good news for people who want to see the neighborhood get some television exposure, but bad news for people who value their parking spaces.

Pink and orange flyers posted in the neighborhood detail what's going to be blocked off and where parking will be held. Those locations include:

  • The south side of President Street between Hoyt Street and Smith Street
  • Both sides of Smith Street between First Street and Carroll Street
  • A quarter of the south side of Carroll Street between Court and Smith streets
  • A quarter of the north side of Carroll Street between Court and Smith streets

Filming will take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and "prior to filming" the NYPD will be towing cars parked in these areas to designated parking spaces, the flyers say.

There is no cost to people who have their cars towed. You can read the flyer in full below (click here to make it bigger):

Along with Morgan, "The Last O.G." stars Cedric the Entertainer, Taylor Mosby and Dante Hoagland. Jordan Peele and John Carcieri are the show's creators.

Morgan plays an ex-con who gets out of prison after 15 years and returns to life in his newly gentrified Brooklyn neighborhood.
