'''Suffolk''' is a seven-block neighborhood in [[Algonquin]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. It is located in [[Downtown Algonquin]], bordered by Union Drive West to the west ([[Castle Garden City]]), Garnet Street to the north ([[The Meat Quarter]] and [[The Triangle]]), Columbus Avenue to the east ([[Lower Easton]]), and Feldspar Street and Frankfort Avenue to the south ([[Little Italy]]). | |||
== Character and influences == | |||
Based on [[wp:SoHo|SoHo]] in New York City, Suffolk is an affluent neighborhood characterized by its low-rise cast iron buildings (based on many real-life counterparts in SoHo). Similar to neighboring [[Little Italy]], a number of Suffolk's streets are constructed from cobblestone, similar to certain streets in SoHo. | |||
The "Suffolk" name may be interpreted as a reference to the common practice of naming new settlements and regions in the [[wp:Thirteen Colonies|Thirteen Colonies]] (including New York state, which [[Liberty State|Liberty City State]] is based on) after existing locations in England. [[wp:Suffolk|Suffolk]] is a real-life county in England; naturally, the name was eventually carried over to [[wp:Suffolk (disambiguation)|a number of then British-ruled locales in North America]], including [[wp:Suffolk County, New York|Suffolk County]] in [[wp:Long Island|Long Island]], New York state. | |||
== Transportation == | |||
The neighborhood is served by the [[Subway in GTA IV|Liberty City Subway]] system. The [[Suffolk LTA|Suffolk]] station, located at the intersection of Garnet Street and Denver-Exeter Avenue, is served by the [[K/C Algonquin Inner Line]]. The station is popular as it is located directly underneath the [[Rotterdam Tower]]. | |||
== Points of interest == | |||
* Jeff's third and final [[random character]] mission is located in Suffolk, at Denver Avenue and Feldspar Street, bordering [[Little Italy]]. | |||
* Another of the [[Random Characters|random characters]], [[Sara]], is located in front of a [[Didier Sachs]] at Back Passage in Suffolk. | |||
* A moderately large [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] station at Frankfort Avenue and Feldspar Street. The station is a complex of two buildings, one smaller structure facing Frankfort Avenue, and a larger, newer 8/9 storey building fronting Feldspar Street. The newer extension appears to be similar in design to the skyscraper housing [[Jerkov's]] in [[Hatton Gardens]]. Skeletal remains of an older building may also be spotted at the western side of the complex. | |||
* An unnamed church at Liberty Lane in west Suffolk, where [[Undertaker|the funeral]] of one of the McReary brothers (either [[Francis McReary|Francis]] or [[Derrick McReary|Derrick]]) is held and where [[Mr. and Mrs. Bellic|Roman and Mallorie get married]] at the end of the game. The church comes complete with an interior accessible only in cutscenes during the missions, as well as a small cemetery in the rear. Both the church and cemetery are deemed as "endangered" landmarks threatened with demolition for the construction of condos.<ref>[[peepthatshit.com|www.peepthatshit.com/sights.html]] (In game website.)</ref> | |||
