Do the Right Thing ↗︎

Mookie's day begins at 173 Stuyvesant Avenue

NYC in Film identifies the Stuyvesant Avenue exterior used for Mookie's home. It is one of the film's most important thresholds: the route from the residential stoop to Sal's delivery run compresses the film's whole neighborhood into a few blocks. The record names the documented exterior without implying access to the private residence.
