Saint Mark's

Saint Mark's is a district in northeastern Portland, Liberty City featured in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, 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.

Description[]

Saint Mark's is based on Little Italy, Manhattan (St. Mark is also the patron saint of Venice, hence the name), 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 (not shown in the PS2 version of the game). In both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the district appears to be specifically under the control of the Leone Crime 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. Following Claude's murder of Salvatore Leone, Saint Mark's becomes an extremely dangerous place to visit as the Leone Family will shoot on sight at Claude.

Saint Mark's geography is characterized by its steep incline which 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 New York City, a primary source of inspiration for the design of Liberty City.

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 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.
