Spotted in the Neighborhood…

Yesterday afternoon, on my weekly run to Carroll Gardens Fish Market, I saw a camera and production crew outside of Martinez Grocery. It looked like they were shooting a scene featuring an actor in scrubs. The only medical show I watch is The Pitt, set in Pittsburgh. Any guesses what the show (film?) is?
