Does anyone know the name of the Superman Show bar where Fredo seals his own fate with Michael, by unwittingly admitting he did know Hyman Roth's henchman, Johnny Ola.

That’s a great one. I’d count it for sure.
I just thought of another one.

Notable indeed. Great catch.
The Blue Parrot. Reminded of what a great character actor Sydney Greenstreet was. That Fez!

One of the best parts of North by Northwest (1959), is the use of actual locations throughout the movie. Near the beginning, the place where Roger Thornhill's mistaken identity blooms is NY City's Oak Room, at the Plaza Hotel. An employee of the bar calls out for George Kaplan to answer the phone right before Thornhill gets up to make a phone call.
