House of Commodore Louis Kuehnle
The very chic barracks of the Seventh Regiment of the National Guard dates back to 1880 and was conceived from the outset as both a gentlemen’s club and a military building. Today, it is a place of artistic creation where you can attend many contemporary shows. The Veterans’ Room served as the interior decor for Commodore Louis Kuehnle’s (Dabney Coleman) home for the first two seasons.

Lolly Steinman Casino
The Lolly Steinman (Danny Burstein) casino is housed in the magnificent building of the Montauk Club, a private club founded in 1889. U.S. Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy have been members. The architect of the building, Francis H. Kimball, was inspired by the palaces along the Grand Canal in Venice to imagine this building completed in 1891. As the neighborhood changed, the building changed activities. The upper floors were sold as apartments, the lower floors were rented as offices. But the club still exists.

St. John’s of 12th Street
This popular Italian restaurant, in existence since 1908, was the meeting place for Joe “the boss” Masseria (Ivo Nandi) and Charles “Lucky” Luciano (Vincent Piazza) in the seventh episode. Rather well thought out, since during Prohibition, the establishment had converted its floors into a speakeasy. He served alcohol in coffee cups.
