I remember Arthur avenue I went to PS 59 I'm basket avenue in the Bronx had a bunch of Italian friends and we used to go to Arthur avenue one of the bakeries there go to the back and eat spaghetti sauce and spaghetti and eat sandwiches with the uncles it was great times this is 1964 or 65
The part of the movie where Jane gets off the bus, going home from school and the scene where the car explodes in front on the record store, is Gravesend Neck Road, in Gravesend Brooklyn!... I met Robert Dinero, that day of filming....
I've been stuck on something for many years which this video just cleared up. I remembered a church near my grandmother's house in the Bronx, but didn't remember where it was, or where she lived. This is from the late 1950's and there's nobody left alive to ask. That was it on E. 187 Street. Thank you so much. I want to go by there soon to see for myself.
Great video I grew up in Astoria and went to st Josephs school and love the Italian deli Brings back many memories and the real estate office back in the day when i lived there it was a bakery ... Great job
THIS MOVIE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE IN THE BRONX. LITTLE ITALY UPTOWN. AUTHER AVE AND 187ST. THIS IS WHAT THE MOVIE WAS ABOUT. IT WAS ABOUT A KID FROM THAT NEIBORHOD. THAT WAS WHAT THE AUTHER AVE WAS LIKE. I KNOW I GREW UP THERE. THE REAL REASON THEY COULDN'T FILM THERE WAS THAT THE STREETS WERE TO NARROW, AND THE SHOP OWNERS, SOME OF WHO WERE THERE FOR MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS AT THE TIME, DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE THE STORE FRONTS. THAT CHURCH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MT. CARMEL PARISH.

The bakery that you see at 3:16 of this video, was also seen in the first shot of the "MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK" trailer (although here it's used as Newark, NJ). ruclips.net/video/dHa95iy2lF0/видео.html
Thanks you for watching and letting me know! I'm so glad I was able to provide you with this information... I know it's a long way from Algeria, but I hope you can visit these places one day.
Thanks, Adam G! I'm glad you liked this video... To answer your question: I went to all of THESE locations to shoot this video in one day (just a few hours, actually). That was no problem. But in your case, you want to see all the locations from the movie (not just the ones seen in this video) and skip the area in the Bronx which the movie was based on? Is that correct? Well, I think that should be doable. I just suggest you look at a map and plan the day out in advance. Look at where all the locations are, and figure out which order it makes the most sense to go in from one to another... Then again, will you have a car? Or will you be depending on New York City's Public Transportation? That could make the difference in how doable this is... Anyway, I can tell you the City Island scene really was shot in City Island (of the Bronx)... Sonny's house is 3034 35th Street, Astoria, NY (which is just down the street from the C's house and the bar)... The school is 4810 31st Avenue, Astoria, NY... The scenes of Jane's neighborhood were shoot in Brooklyn at the corner of Gravesend Neck Road & East 15th Street... . The racetrack was shot on location at Aqueduct Racetrack (which is in South Ozone Park, Queens)... I think all the other locations are told in this video. Or am I forgetting any?
@@Joelikesmoviesnstuff awesome!! ☺️ Before I dated him I was actually attending a funeral,and he was exiting the funeral home with some woman and I said Hello Slick!!

And I explained that day of the funeral and he said he really doesn't like ppl calling him slick. 😏 I said oh please!! 😂 But he is very down to earth, funny and a great actor and has a very interesting and intricate way of practicing his scripts.

You are missing 3 parts of the movie that was filmed in the Bronx. I was there the few days they filmed. There is a part in Ann and Tony's restaurant and 2 other stores around Arthur Ave that was used that no longer exists.
Though filmed in Queens, many Arthur Avenue locals were used in the film. I'm not sure who is still living as this was a long time ago, but if you are really interested in A Bronx Tale casting, local Arthur Avenue people in the film, places of note and things of this manner from the film, locate Marco Greco. Mike's Deli inside the market was Marco's pops and his brother David runs the place.
@@jova4335 yeah, there were a handful of locations this video did not include (Jayne's neighborhood, the school, City Island, the horse racing, etc). I just tried to focus this video on where the movie was mainly set. I'm glad you still enjoyed it. Thanks.
What train/cab or whatever would i need to take to from Midtown to get me to the the "now yous cant leave" bar?? I'd like to walk in, close the door behind me, tufn to the wife and say..."now yoys can't leave". Im visiting the usa for the first time soon.
At 0:26 of this video, I tell you the GPS address. If you want to take a cab there, just show that address to the cab driver. Or if you're in Midtown and want to take a train or bus, just type in that same GPS address to Google Maps and see if that can help you with city train / bus directions. I hope you have a great time visiting the USA!
@@gullybop1695 Ok, thanks for the feedback... Obviously, I know where City Island is, but I'm not sure exactly where the High School is. I could probably find out. Thanks.
Hi Cross. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean... I think you might be saying the real apartment building Chazz Palminteri grew up in is actually on Belmont Avenue, and not East 187th Street... Is that correct? And you're also saying the street the movie was filmed on in Queens has some similarities to the Belmont Avenue? If that's what you mean, then I'm not sure if you mean in terms of visual architectures or in cultures.
Arthur avenue I was there as a kid in 1964 63 we had some great times some of my friends had their Italian and they used to go there ate lunch eat sandwiches Pizza we had a great time it was good old days playing stickball in the streets I went to PS 59 I'm bathgate avenue
Pretty good but l didn't see any body get whacked. But the movie was filming Astoria not in art and I don't Arthur avenue not in the Bronx it was actually Astoria Queens I believe
@@Joelikesmoviesnstuff but the neighborhood was pretty accurate Arthur avenue still like that now a lot of Italian stores smaller restaurants and nice restaurants too it's pretty cool
Can we get The Irishman filming spots? One scene was filmed in my hometown Ridgewood for a baptism scene. They used Saint Matthias RC Church. That movie is my favorite film of all time!
And please go in and ask the people about the movie, they also used a grocery shop across the street, it’s crazy to know people from there got a movie shot by those film powerhouses of a director and actors, so i’d love to hear their responses and thoughts because I never got the chance to ask 😂
My uncle was killed by the mafia back in the 70's because of It my brother and I was born out of tragedy and his kids lead a very hard life. Back in the early 90's my brother and I were extras on the set of A Bronx Tale, only to realized later the character Sonny is based on a few wiseguys who actually killed my uncle. Joe have you ever heard such a thing?
Please also check out my video about the filming location for the old Little Italy scenes in the Godfather part II ruclips.net/video/Ko5v8ZtVq_0/видео.html
@Lloyd Bonafide The movie locations still "exist." They just changed with time... Here's one video I did about a location that still looks the same as it did in the movie - as far as I can tell ruclips.net/video/1A4oby7KINo/видео.html
@@Joelikesmoviesnstuff well, I lived in Brooklyn when I was 21. A friend of mine, who knew that I am a big De Niro fan, came to visit and told me: "you know that De Niro is directing a new movie, right? So next week they are going to shoot every night down in avenue U". So I went down there at 1am one morning. I found the filming location. There were like 60 crew people with equipment. I stood for a while, hoping to see De Niro. After an hour I was about to leave when 2 people with heavy coats and hood on walked by. At first I couldn't see faces in the dark but once they turned the corner I realized it was Robert De Niro and Chazz Palminteri
Yeah, there's a few spots from the movie I missed (for example, the horse racing, Jane's neighborhood, the High School, etc), but I tried to keep this video focused on the neighborhood of Calogero and Sonny. Perhaps some day I can make another video about other filming locations from A Bronx Tale.
The bar was previously a bakery named Leupold’s. The stoop was added to the front of the building for the movie. It was removed after they finished filming the movie.
@@Joelikesmoviesnstuff I know because I lived my entire life a few blocks away. My mom was friends with a woman that lived in the building and it didn’t have a stoop.
@@Joelikesmoviesnstuff Guys that grew up there in the 50's-60's and some 70's call it Belmont , like Dion and the Belmonts. Today, the neighborhood is called Arthur Avenue
I would say some parts of the Bronx are safer than others. The Arthur Avenue area seemed pretty safe. Also, movie crews have a ton of people. So even if you went to a less safe area, I think you'd be fine with a whole movie crew.
The best movie Chazz did was Boss of Bosses yet it's never mentioned???? I do like A Bronx Tale also and am very honored tha his last name , ends in my first name Teri 🤩
There are several Italian-America parts of New York City. I personally would agree that visiting Manhattan's Little Italy is not much of a thrill for me... But did you see this video I posted? ruclips.net/video/Ko5v8ZtVq_0/видео.html
I wasn't talking about the fight inside the bar. I was talking about the fight outdoors in front of the social club - when Calogero helped the boy who turned out to be Jane's brother.
I remember the scene you're talking about in the movie... All I was trying to say in this video was: According to the movie, in the 1960s this was a neighborhood which black people should not have felt safe passing through. I don't know how true or untrue that was of the 1960s. However, when I was there in 2019, I saw people of all different ethnicities walking through, and nothing I saw suggested there was any problem for any of them.
@@Joelikesmoviesnstuff According to my ex boyfriend who grew up in Bensonhurt, Brooklyn, the Hell's Angels scene really happened in Bensonhurst. The movie was semi autobiographical, but I think Chazz added a lot of other Italian experiences to the movie.
First of all noone needs to tell anyone their business. They can tell what they want truth or lie. And as for the Addeos? They took u for a dope. U said it urself.. the name of the bakery was shown in the movie. Lesson here.. no true Italian tells their business. Bob and Chazz the same.”Tanuh pigliatuh peh fessuh”!!! Show this to a napoletan .. they’ll translate for u. 🙄
This is a bunch of bullshit beacuse lived in that neiborhood i know this neiborhood like the palm of my hand and they were filming the movie when i first moved there and you can see they were filming a movie i went to ps 32 3 blocks away from the heart of little italy
Please check out my new video: How to pronounce "Mario" the Brooklyn Italian way! ruclips.net/video/Q5D5rQIkYwo/видео.html

It's a lot safer in Queens. Most of the bronx is bad news. The Deathwish movies were filmed there for a reason.
I would say some parts of the Bronx are safer than others. The Arthur Avenue area seemed pretty safe. Also, movie crews have a ton of people. So even if you went to a less safe area, I think you'd be fine with a whole movie crew.

However, when I was there in 2019, I saw people of all different ethnicities walking through, and nothing I saw suggested there was any problem for any of them.
@@Joelikesmoviesnstuff According to my ex boyfriend who grew up in Bensonhurt, Brooklyn, the Hell's Angels scene really happened in Bensonhurst. The movie was semi autobiographical, but I think Chazz added a lot of other Italian experiences to the movie.
GODSPEED FRANK RENZULLI
Is that a name I should recognize from the movie?
Is this narrated by Nardwuar?
It's narrated by me. I don't know who Nardwuar is.
@@Joelikesmoviesnstuff Nardwuar The Human Serviette is one of the greatest interviewers of all time.
@@redcomic619 Well, if you think I sound like the greatest interviewer of all time, I will say: thank you!
What's your fucking point ?? It's just a movie !
What do you mean?
“Nicely Mixed” spoken line a true obamaite. Diversity is our strength and all that bs.
I believe that the fact that the USA has so many different cultures from all over the world, all in one country, is the #1 best part of the US.
First of all noone needs to tell anyone their business. They can tell what they want truth or lie. And as for the Addeos? They took u for a dope. U said it urself.. the name of the bakery was shown in the movie. Lesson here.. no true Italian tells their business. Bob and Chazz the same.”Tanuh pigliatuh peh fessuh”!!! Show this to a napoletan .. they’ll translate for u. 🙄
I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
