Here ya go:

Here's another site:

You can stay in the hotel that Judy lived in (the Empire Hotel in the
movie), it's now the York Hotel, home of the famous "Plush Room" nitery.
Rates are very reasonable:

They have a _Vertigo_ guest room and a "Kim Novak"
guest room...

[BTW Kim's b'day was the other day, she is 71 and looks FABULOUS...]

There is a _Vertigo_ guided tour, you could easily do the itinerary yourself
(it would be cool to drive to these places in a 1956 Chrysler like Scotty
had!):

Here is a nice and stylish photo shoot recreating some scenes from the movie
from a Out Traveler magazine, it's pretty good as such things go. There are
travel links at the end of the story:
