One GTA IV restaurant is actually two real NYC landmarks stitched together

The Espresso - Cappuccino - Gelati - Cafe in Little Italy combines its facade from Il Cortile restaurant at 125 Mulberry Street with its right side from Mulberry Street Bar at 176 1/2 Mulberry Street — the same bar that also inspired the separate 'Cafe - Bar' location elsewhere in the game.
