The film GoodFellas made cinematic history in 1990 and was nominated for six academy awards. This is the actual location where Billy Batts was severely beaten on June 11, 1970 and taken to Connecticut to be buried under a dog kennel. John Gotti swore revenge on all of them but instead murdered Tommy DeSimone.

The "Go home & get your shine box" scene was shot at a place on 73rd Street and Grand Ave in Maspeth, Queens, about 6 miles from Robert's Lounge, where Billy Batts allegedly made the insulting comment. The bar where they some time afterwards beat up Billy Batts (Henry Hill's bar, The Suite) was actually a good distance away from both at 111-20 Queens Blvd, Forest Hills, Queens. That's about 3-1/2 miles from the place where they filmed the scene. So the insult and the near-fatal beating did *not* happen at the same place and time as depicted in the movie. They happened at different places on different days, according to Henry Hill. CORRECTION: the Suite was on 111-16 Queens Blvd It is now the home of a Japanese restaurant called Shogun Hibachi. ____________________ Below, from Wikipedia... "According to the book Wiseguy, after William "Billy Batts" Bentvena was released from prison in 1970, a "welcome home" party was thrown for him at Robert's Lounge, which was owned by Burke. Hill stated that Bentvena saw DeSimone and jokingly asked him if he still shined shoes, which DeSimone perceived as an insult. DeSimone leaned over to Hill and Burke and said, "I'm gonna kill that f--k."[6] Two weeks later, on June 11, 1970, Bentvena was at The Suite near closing time when he was pistol-whipped by DeSimone. Hill said that before DeSimone started to beat Bentvena, DeSimone yelled, "Shine these f-ing shoes!"[6]..." --Wikipedia

Thank you for that!! I am just editing a video that I took in Maspeth at the old Spartan Restaurant, but I couldn't pinpoint the original location on Queens Blvd. However, based on the location of Krugman's "For men only" on Queens Blvd, I included an image in the video where I guessed what I thought was the original Suite Lounge. If your information is correct then I guessed right, lol, 111-20 Queens Blvd. Thanks for that, I had a feeling that it was the castle looking building.

The Asian restaurant was the location of Henry Hill’s original ‘Suite’ lounge. They had the second of two fights-one by JFK and the other here. The restaurant where the scene was filmed was just a set for the movie. The original lounge, here, was demolished years ago. And they didn’t drive him straight to Connecticut. They went down the Van Wyck, back towards Howard Beach, when he started kicking in the trunk. 😊🔪🩸

@culcune Жыл бұрын

Sadly, the cafe in the film (where Jimmy kicked the phone booth over when he found out Tommy was executed) is now some sort of industrial storage place, but still looks the same. I often wonder if some of the places could still be profitable if they capitalized on the film had they remained open now that it is such a cult classic.
