I think that's where the AA rehab use to be, which is now a Chipolte, market, luxury apartment building. It's defintely St. Marks during the 80s. Wow. Memories.

Once upon a time on Saint Marks Place [between Second Avenue + Third Avenue] this building was THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS - - and before that it had been "The Dom" (a.k.a. the Polish National Home). Alas, this wide structure was demolished and the site was rebuilt. Billy Joel is singing in a loft that used to be the street-level space. - - http://TexasGuinan.blogspot.com - -

It's St. Marks Place. I used to work for a guy just down the street in the mid80s.

It was really filmed in NYC. St Marks, to be exact. My husband remembers the day it was being filmed. They announced that they'd be filming there on the radio (WNEW, he thinks) that morning. It was in the summer and he was out of school, and he thought about going down there to see it.

Just a technicality, it's not really 8th Street, but St. Mark's Place at that point.

Definately St. Marks Place/8th St. I can see the Grassroots Tavern in the background.
