from i like killing flies posted in movies by donkeyoti
The 2004 documentary "I Like Killing Flies," filmed and directed by Matt Mahurin, reveals the approach to cooking, philosophy, and life of the unique proprietor, Kenny Shopsin.
The film shows an irreverent and opinionated Shopsin creating amazing food while being highly selective of people he allows into the community that his restaurant has created.
The menu has over 900 items, including more than 300 soups. Just follow the rules, or you will get kicked the f**k out (absolutely no parties over four people).

This is the former location of the legendary music venue CBGB. Standing for "Country, Bluegrass, and Blues," CBGB became famous for being one of the first venues in New York to embrace punk rock and new wave. The Ramones got their start here, as well as the Talking Heads and Blondie.
CBGB opened in 1973 and closed in October 2006. In April of 2008, a men's designer clothing store opened at the location. Much of the graffiti covering the toilets was preserved, along with some playbills from the club.

After the scene where Chinaski (Matt Dillon) demands his paycheck for cleaning a statue for one day, he is sent to the office of the boss. The set is the St. Paul mayor's office. So if you are looking for a place to shoot, you might wanna keep that in mind.

Don't you know? The Bird's the word.
The Trashmen recorded "Surfin' Bird" here in 1963, and ended up making it to #4 on the charts. Also recorded here was Fendermen's "Muleskinner Blues", Dave Dudley's "Six Days on the Road", and The Castaways' "Liar, Liar".
Later, the Ramones would cover this song. And the Cramps. And Peter Griffin.
