Changes: Saint Mark's

Revision as of 15:57, 15 April 2014

SaintMark's-GTA3-northwards — Saint Mark's

Saint Mark's is a district in northeastern Portland Island, Liberty City featured in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. It borders Harwood to the north, Portland View to the south, Portland Beach to the east, and Hepburn Heights and the Red Light District to the west.

Character

SaintMark'sBistro-GTASA3 — Saint Mark's in the GTA San Andreas mission Saint Mark's Bistro.

Saint Mark's is based on Little Italy, Manhattan, although it also draws influences from several Brooklyn neighborhoods like Carroll Gardens, Bushwick, and Prospect Heights, among others. Saint Mark's, like many heavily populated districts in the island, is full occupied by large numbers of rowhouses and even several skyscrapers. Saint Mark's features a mix of commercial and residential establishments; as the district is Mafia-controlled, however, Saint Mark's is depicted with an Italian American character, complete with Italian American eateries and banners hung over streets that bare the colors of the Italian flag. In both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the district appears to be specifically under the control of the Leone Family, however, strangely enough, in GTA Advance the district is under control of the Uptown Yardies, while Portland Beach is under control of an unspecified Mafia.

Saint Mark's geography is characterized by its steep incline, ala-San Francisco, that rises from east to west. As a result, many of the district's buildings are terraced, and features sloping roadways. This feature is not common in any boroughs or surrounding locales in New York City, a primary source of inspiration for the design of Liberty City.

Places of interest

Salvatore'sGentlemen'sClub-GTA3-exterior — Salvatore's Gentlemen Club in GTA III.

Don Salvatore Leone has his mansion - the main Leone base of operations - on the north-eastern tip of the Saint Mark's district.

Other Leone fronts in the Saint Marks district include Momma's Restaurante; some believe that Marco's Bistro is controlled by the Leones, seeing as how in GTA Liberty City Stories there is a Leone Sentinel in the parking lot.

Also, in GTA Liberty City Stories, there is an apartment in this district that serves as the first safehouse for Toni Cipriani, given by Vincenzo Cilli.

After the mission "Sayonara Salvatore" in GTA III, Saint Mark's becomes the hardest district to explore in Liberty City, as the Leones now betray Claude and shoot him after he ventures into the district, not to mention some are equipped with shotguns that can easily set fire to a car in 2 or 3 shots.
