Good eye, Mark.

That bar has been used in DOZENS of NY movies, mostly mob films. Paulie (Eric Roberts) had a drink there in "The Pope of Greenwich Village." It also served as Vincent's club in "The Godfather Part III."

It's been on Mulberry Street for over 100 years. When I was growing up, and right up to a few years ago, it was called "Mare Chiaro," but everyone just called it "Mare's." Then, for whatever reason, they changed the name to "Mulberry Street Bar." Probably for the publicity.

It's located at 176 1/2 Mulberry Street, just south of Broome Street. I stop there for a drink or two whenever I'm in the area. But only during the day. It's waaaaay to "touristy" at night.
