12. The Lionel Hotel

Activity seems to converge in the Lionel Hotel, which is shown in the first episode located next to the “Park and Lock.” In real life, this is Meyers Parking on West 30th Street between 7th and 8th Avenue, close to Madison Square Garden. The vintage sign still exists on the facade today. In later episodes, the entrance is shown to be on 42nd Street, shot on Amsterdam Avenue in Washington Heights next to Eddy Food Center Bodega, which is turned into ABC United Trading Corp., an electronic store.

Vinnie heads here after he leaves his townhouse (and wife, mother in law and kids) in the Sunset Park/Bay Ridge area, off the Fort Hamilton Parkway D train.
