<P> The shooting of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind began in mid-January 2003 after six weeks of preparation , lasting for three months on a budget of $20 million mostly in and around New York City . The production crew , however , recreated some key scenes , such as Joel 's Yonkers apartment and the 1950s - style kitchen , in a New Jersey former U.S. Navy base . The shoot was difficult , sometimes shooting for seventeen hours per day in harsh environments . </P>
