Locations

 The Rasputin

A nightclub on Coney Island Avenue in Brighton Beach. Owned by Vladimir Zilber, it is ostensibly the headquarters of Zilber's Mob, under Igor Porotsky's control. Although the club technically sells no alcohol, patrons bring their own and the club is well known for drunken antics and cheap women in fake diamonds.

 Gastronom Odessa

Sidewalk cafe and social club in Brighton Beach. Originally the primary base of operations for the Organizatsiya under Biba Nayfeld, it is currently under the control of the Potato Bag Gang. The club is owned on paper by Igor Roitzman and is the infrequent hangout of celebrities such as Taylor Dane.

 The National

The National, located on Brighton Beach Avenue, is an expensive upscale Russian restaurant with elaborate performances and floor shows. The decor is golden and glamorous, and events include the "queen for the evening" contest and unofficial gay dance nights. Although ostensibly owned by the Organizatsiya, the National was considered neutral ground between the factions.

 Chicken Masters

 Friendly Cleaners
