Riverbank Medical Center, New York | MCU Location Scout

Jessica and Trish entering Riverbank morgue.

I’m here from the Medical Examiner’s office. There’s an older male subject that I need to examine.

JESSICA JONES S1

Jessica drags Trish to a morgue where she heard on the police scanner that an older man was admitted. She believes she can catch Kilgrave by getting a lead from his father’s dead body.

Based on photographic evidence, this appears to be the Coler-Goldwater Hospital (also known as NYC Health + Hospitals/Coler) located on Roosevelt Island. The location has been used for other shows in the Netflix pantheon, as well as The Exorcist (1973).

DAREDEVIL SEASON 3

Riverbank makes its first appearance on Daredevil in the third season when Karen visits the bedside of abduction victim Mr. Kazemi to get a story from his daughter, Neda. Matt stops by later to make sure they’re okay and let her know that the men responsible are in jail. As he exits the hospital, he overhears that Wilson Fisk has been released from prison by the FBI. Ray visits the hospital in episode 3 to check on the Agents who were injured in the shootout with the Albanians.

For episodes 2 & 3, the Metropolitan Hospital in East Harlem was used. The exterior shots with Matt were instrumental in figuring this one out. A bridge is visible outside the windows in episode 3–it’s the Ward’s Island Bridge crossing the Harlem River.

In episode 7, Karen returns to visit Mitchell Ellison in room B-178, while he is convalescing after the attack at the Bulletin. This room does not appear to have been filmed at the same location as earlier in the season. The buildings outside the window do not match up with any architecture near the Metropolitan Hospital. This may not even be a “real” hospital, since all that is seen is the doorway and the room.
