The Hip Joint is a dance club located in New New York on the top of a very tall Stratosphere-like structure.

The monuments were destroyed in an alien attack on Labor Day 3000.

[edit] New New York

New New York rests on the decaying ruins of Old New York, which can be accessed by going down into the sewers of New New York (except in some places where the sewers lead to the Mutants). Although New New York is an entirely new city, it still does have versions of many of Old New York's famous monuments, like the Statue of Liberty for example.

[edit] O'Zorgnax's Pub

First featured in Space Pilot 3000.

Formerly O'Grady's Pub', is located near Panucci's Pizza in New New York. In 1999, it is an Irish pub and is first seen as Fry rides past it on his bike en route to the cryogenics lab. In the future, it is named O'Zorgnax's Pub most likely because it is owned by aliens.

[edit] Original Cosmic Ray's Pizza

First featured in A Fishful of Dollars.

Fry treats Leela, Amy, Bender, Professor Farnsworth, Hermes Conrad, and Dr. Zoidberg to lunch here after gaining his fortune but asks them to keep the tab "under $50 million". The name is a pun on Original Famous Ray's Pizza.

Panucci's Pizza is the pizzeria Fry works at in the 20th Century. The pizzeria is owned by Mr. Panucci, who also makes the pizzas and is Fry's boss. According to the episode "Jurassic Bark", sometime in the 2000s (presumably after the death of Mr. Panucci), the pizzeria is closed forever.

[edit] Robot Arms Apartments

First featured in I, Roommate.

This apartment building is located in New New York; a red neon sign reading "ROBOT ARMS APTS" is seen on the side of the building. It is the home of Bender and Fry. Most of the apartment rooms are tiny vertical spaces, for robots generally like small confinements in which to sleep. But some rooms, including Bender's, come with large living room-sized closets. It is in Bender's closet that Fry resides.

[edit] Staadgi & Staadgi Auctioneers

First featured in A Fishful of Dollars.

Its name is a reference to advertising firm Saatchi and Saatchi.

[edit] Taco Bellevue Hospital

First featured in Bender Gets Made.

In the show's time period, Bellevue Hospital has sold its name and apparently its services to fast food chain Taco Bell. This could be a reference to Demolition Man, in which Taco Bell was the only winner of the "franchise wars".
