A Complete Unknown, the much talked-about Bob Dylan origin story starring Timothée Chalamet, is officially out in theaters. 

Up for three Golden Globes (best motion picture — drama, best actor, best supporting actor) this weekend, the film has been receiving mostly positive reviews, with talks about Academy Award nominations and wins swirling as well.

New Yorkers in particular have a chance to experience the film in a unique way on a movie sites walking tour currently offered by On Locations Tours.

We won't spoil the tour here, but we'd be remiss not to mention at least a few of the awesome NYC spots that you'll get to visit when partaking:

Bob Dylan’s Apartment at 161 West 4th Street

The celebrated musician famously lived in Greenwich Village. In the movie, Dylan and his girlfriend are seen walking by the address while carrying their groceries home.

Music Inn

The downtown shop is seen twice in the movie, first when Dylan notices Joan Baez's sold out records while his debut isn't getting much attention and, later on, as the store fills with fans looking to buy The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.

Kettle of Fish

This neighborhood bar opened back in 1950 and has become a staple ever since, playing host to Beat poets, celebrities and New Yorkers of all kinds since then. Towards the beginning of the movie, Dylan grabs a bite to eat on premise while learning about singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie's whereabouts.

Gaslight Café

It's at the Gaslight Café that Baez sees Dylan perform "Masters of War" and everything changes for the now world-renowned star.
