Scorsese’s “The Irishman” films inside Dyker fixture New Corner Restaurant
A beloved Dyker Heights restaurant has received the Hollywood treatment.
Colandrea New Corner Restaurant, 7201 Eighth Avenue, which opened its doors in 1936 as a one room pizzeria, was selected by Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese as a location for his highly anticipated Netflix exclusive film “The Irishman.”
The film, which stars legendary actors Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, and has shot scenes all over the tristate area, including Staten Island, took an interest in the 81-year-old restaurant, much to the delight of the family that owns it. It is the first time filming has occurred in the establishment.
