Josie's: Josie's was a bar run by a tough proprietor and bartender named Josie.

If a day turned out to be particularly successful, Foggy would order up several pitchers of beer, and then chase them down with a string of shots (which he would come to regret doing the following morning). A criminal named Elliot Grote was also known to frequent the establishment. In addition to serving alcohol, Josie's was also a pool hall. Matt and Karen enjoyed playing pool where Matt kept up the pretense of being a normal blind man by pretending to play poorly.

Notable residents include Amy Cassidy, Isabelle Hammond and Sonny Lumet. Amy's male friends, Kip Wilson and Henry Desmond lost their home when the apartment they lived in was condemned. Unable to afford standard housing in New York City, they accepted Amy's suggestion to move into the Susan B., noted for its low rent. To pull this off however, Kip and Henry had to create female personas for themselves in order to full the hotel's staff and guests. Kip adopted the alias of a fictional sister named Buffy, while Henry was saddled with the unflattering name Hildegard. "Buffy" and "Hildy" lived at the hotel for some time with only Amy knowing the truth about their identities. Eventually however, Lilly, Isabelle and Sonny learned the truth, but Kip and Henry found a way to maintain their lodgings at the hotel.
