If they wanted to keep it real, they should've called them "Copernicus's" or something.

The name stuck out to me as well, made me wonder if they're fronting these places for someone else. Either that or they're wannabe/assimilated Goombahs like me lol.

As i recall, junior Calabrese had a piece of La Luce. Unsurprisingly the owners of the building seem to be Italian.

La Luce was excellent. I believe Frank Jr. laundered his family money there.

Funny story and I know this because I do real estate, that victorian building at one time - along with the building around the corner that houses JP Graziano - was owned by none other than Martin Accardo.

Huh. Not surprising at all.

Though I realize there are ways to hide it, being able to easily look up building owners would be a nice research asset ha.
