> [@terentii](#): > > **Skink’s**. Unfortunately, it’s probably copyrighted. ☹ There is a bar in St Martin called [Skanki’s Bar](https://theclawsonchronicles.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/skankis.jpg). I had to stop and check it out. Turns out it’s a very laid back bar with “Praise The Lord” type embroidered signs hanging on the walls. Not what I’d imagined based on the name. Skanki is the family’s last name. ---

The exterior of Tom's Restaurant on the corner of West 112th Street and Broadway, near Columbia University, which first appears in season 1 episode 3, "The Robbery," is often shown on the show as the exterior of Monk's, though the interiors were shot on a sound stage.

> [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > “Mom’s.” > > Some Famous Guy: “Never eat at a place called ‘Mom’s;’ never play poker with a man called ‘Doc;’ a third thing I can’t remember.” Nelson Algren, in his 1956 book _A Walk on the Wild Side_, where the quote appears as follows: “Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom’s. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.” As [this page](http://www.thisdayinquotes.com/2011/05/never-play-cards-with-man-called-doc.html) explains, the order of the first two rules is often switched, and Algren may have “borrowed” the advice from either an actor friend or “a nice old Negro lady”.
