It's always struck me as funny that he asks the NYC cops where he can get good pizza and he ends up in Jersey City.

I'm unsure where exactly those scenes were filmed, the scene may have been assembled on the Colgate factory property, or north of Exchange Place. The colgate complex was demolished in 1985 and left a several block wide empty lot for several years just south of Exchange Place.

If you look really close in front of the building that's far right there you can see the corner of the old Exchange Place PATH entrance. When built, that building behind it was the tallest building in NJ.

Edit: The intersection shown in the taxi shot is the corner of Washington St. and Steuben St.
