They did actually go to New York for a bit of pre-production filming (if that's the right term) - stuff that was added to the episode as compositing, basically. In that episode's Confidential, RTD stated that they went out of their way to avoid street scenes, etc., hence most of it thus far has either been indoors or in a park. He also made the interesting statement that he feels this is the first proper outing for the Daleks so far, as the previous stories as been more in the nature of 'events'.
