Law & Order SVU Transforms Popular Lower Hudson Valley Cafe Into Lobster Shack

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has been recently filming in Rockland County.

Law & Order: SVU was the first spinoff of the NBC American crime drama television series Law & Order, starring Christopher Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler and Mariska Hargitay as Detective Olivia Benson as officers with the Special Victims Unit, having previously worked with a fictionalized version of the New York City Police Department.

The show follows the style of the original Law & Order in that some episodes are loosely based on real crimes that have received media attention.
