You will be surprised when you look up how many alleys there are in NY. There's a reason most prolific NY movies that have an alley scene all film in the same alley.
Thanks, another cool thing about those dates is in Red Dead Redemption John Marston was born in 1873 and died in 1911. I feel like his death signifies the death of the wild west era, like the US military switching to the 1911 kind of signifies the end of the wild west era, going from six shooters to semi-autos.
