Saint Mark´s is based on [[wp:Little Italy, Manhattan|Little Italy, Manhattan]], although also resembles Brooklyn neighborhoods like [[wp:Carroll Gardens|Carroll Gardens]], [[wp:Bushwick|Bushwick]], [[wp:Prospect Heights, Brooklyn|Prospect Heights]] and 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. In both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the district appears to be specifically under the control of the [[Leone Family]]. | |||
Saint Mark's geography is characterized by its steep incline, ''ala''-San Francisco, that 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 any boroughs or surrounding locales in New York City, a primary source of inspiration for the design of Liberty City. | Saint Mark's geography is characterized by its steep incline, ''ala''-San Francisco, that rises from east to west.

*If the player has already finished the mission, [[Sayonara Salvatore]] in GTA III, this area becomes one of the most dangerous places in the whole series as the Leone's will carry [[Pump Action Shotgun|shotguns]] from that point on. If you really need to venture into Saint Mark's during a mission (ex: [[Espresso-2-Go!]]), It is advised to use a bulletproof vehicle because the shotgun in GTA III can blow up a car in 2 shots. | |||
