S01E09 opens with a flashback to 1994 while Elliot (Rami Malek) and his Dad/Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) are at their "Mr. Robot" store. Lots of old tech to see here and a brief morality play involving a customer who accuses Elliot of stealing from his wallet.
"Timecop or Stargate?" says Mr. Robot but Elliot chooses Pulp Fiction.
After they leave the store the camera pulls back to show the store front and we flash forward to see the store become empty and available for lease, then become a drycleaners, a florist, a tattoo parlour, and finally a Bank of E.
While the Mr. Robot store and other tenants are fictitious the filming location was at a real store located at 18 Main St Yonkers, NY 10701.
Yonkers Station, the filming location of a scene later in this episode, is only a 5 minute walk from the Mr. Robot store.

"I thought that was you" - S01E09 eps1.8_m1rr0r1ng.qt
Elliot (Rami Malek) and Mr Robot (Christian Slater) are standing on a station platform waiting for a train to take them to the Alderson family home. A man in a black suit appears to look toward them and says "I thought that was you". The man in black walks forward and embraces a woman on the platform.
If you look carefully there is an F-Society sign on the pillar to the left of the man in black as he embraces the woman, and in the distance behind them there is a large smokestack.
The station sign on the platform says "Port Jervis" but is it really?
This scene was filmed on the Southbound platform of Yonkers Station on the MTA Hudson line overlooking The Palisades (source: rantsthoughtsmerde).
The large smokestack in the background of the shot is at the North Yonkers Pump Station 19 Alexander St Yonkers, NY 10701.

Elliot moves toward Darlene and kisses her on the mouth.

Darlene: "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
Elliot: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought, I just, I'm sorry."

Elliot: "What do you mean? Forget what?"
Darlene: "Elliot I need you to tell me who you think I am."
Elliot: "What are you talking about?"
Darlene: "Tell me right now."
Elliot: "What are you saying?"
Darlene: "Elliot?"

"You just didn’t realise she was with you the whole time" - S01E06 eps1.5_br4ve-trave1er.asf
Elliot's (Rami Malek) prison hack has been successful and inmates are fleeing the scene. DJ (Jas Anderson) and Vera (Elliot Villar) are about to drive off when Elliot asks for Shayla's (Frankie Shaw) return.
Elliot: Shayla. Where is she?
Vera: Keys, yo. Told you you'd get her back, bro. You just didn’t realise she was with you the whole time.
DJ and Vera leave as Elliot opens the trunk of the sedan he has been in all day. Shayla is in the trunk, dead, and with her throat cut.
In real life this location is in the south eastern corner of a real prison Westchester County Correction Facility, 10 Woods Rd Valhalla, NY 10595.
The scene was filmed just inside the guard post on Penetentiary Service Road. You can see exactly where the sedan with Shayla's body was by comparing the StreetView image below with an image from the shoot tweeted by Frankie Shaw. A street light and transmission tower appear in both images.
The sedan is seen parked under the same street light in a picture tweeted by Elliot Villar during production.

"We connected with White Rose" - S01E07 eps1.6_v1ew-s0urce.flv
Darlene (Carly Chaikin) walks across a college courtyard and sits down on the grass next to Trenton (Sunita Mani).
"We connected with White Rose. The plan is back on. I could bullshit you, tell you you're the only person who can fill the exact void we have at F Society. Truth is I need this group back together."
This scene was filmed on Brooklyn College's beautiful Central (east) Quad at 2900 Bedford Ave Brooklyn, NY 11210.
The Quad is bordered by two ivy covered buildings - Boylan Hall on the northern side and Ingersoll Hall at the south. It is Boylan Hall that can be seen behind Darlene and Trenton.

"What's the plan bitch boi?" - S01E06 eps1.5_br4ve-trave1er.asf
Elliot (Rami Malek) and Darlene (Carly Chaikin) are under house arrest at Elliot’s apartment. Fernando Vera’s (Elliot Villar) brother Isaac (Rick Gonzalez) and DJ (Jas Anderson) are holding Elliot while he tries to break Fernando out of prison. Elliot says “I’m ready to bust Vera out, I can get into the network, we need to go to the jail now.”
Elliot narrates as their car pulls up next to a No Standing sign near the correctional center:
“Remember when the panic would set in and we had a solution, be honest I miss that, life is so much easier when you’re numb.”
Isaac says “What’s the plan bitch boi?”, and Elliot gets out of the car and walks to the correctional center.
In real life the team pulled up and parked at the No Standing sign by 48th Ave & 31st Pl, New York.
As Elliot gets out of the car Darlene yells "Elliot what are you doing?" and Elliot narrates "Like a hard drive blasted by excessive voltage my mind is frayed close to fried." If you look carefully behind Elliot you can see a stack of yellow cabs. True to life they are directly opposite where the car is parked under the No Standing sign in 31st Place.
