10 of Brooklyn’s Most Beloved TV and Movie Locations
Lenny’s Pizza, Saturday Night Fever
I get that the dancing, the wall-to-wall Bee Gees, and the intense violence and drug use are supposed to be the iconic parts of Saturday Night Fever. And they are. But as a kid, not a lot of things blew my mind more than the first time I saw John Travolta strutting down 86th eating a slice of pizza stacked on top of another slice of pizza. An image like that opens a lot of doors in the mind of a young, fat child. And you can still re-create the experience at Lenny’s, which still stands just as it was down in Bensonhurst. If you feel like going a little off-script, though, it’s worth noting that they also have pepperoni-stuffed garlic knots.
