SEE: Fort Greene's Connection To Oscar Winner 'The Green Book'

FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN — Spike Lee isn't the neighborhood's only connection to an Academy Award winner this year. It turns out a few Fort Greene and Clinton Hill links can also be found in the historical travel guide that gave Best Picture Winner "The Green Book" its name.

"The Green Book," which tells the true story of pianist Don Shirley touring the south with his driver Tony Vallelonga, is named for a travel guide they use in the film that lists places throughout the country that are safe for African-Americans to eat, stay or visit.

And, after the Peter Farrelly movie — and its supporting actor Mahershala Ali — were given their Oscars on Sunday, The Myrtle Avenue Partnership got wondering whether any of those places might be close to home.

"We were curious to take a look to see if any Myrtle Ave. listings appeared in the travel guide," the organization said on its Facebook.

As it turns out, one does.

"The first listing we found was in the 1938 edition, for the New United Theater at the corner of Myrtle & Hudson," the post reads. "First opened as a nickelodeon in 1926, the 1,600 seat theater closed in the early 1940s before it was demolished to make way for what is now Ingersoll Houses."

The organization posted photos of the 1938 Green Book's Brooklyn section, too, that shows the Myrtle Ave. theater isn't the only spot in the neighborhood that made the list. In fact, about 20 spots throughout the borough were featured in this version of the guide, which was started by Harlem resident Victor Hugo Green in 1936.

The New United Theater seems to be the only spot actually in Fort Greene, but at least four nearby Clinton Hill businesses are listed, including restaurants Lucille's and Rosebud and taverns Royal and Utopian. All except the theater line Fulton Street.

The travel guide link is probably the borough's second most significant connection to the Academy Awards this year, though the first, Fort Greene's own Spike Lee, who won for his screenplay for "BlackKklansman," might not be so happy about it.

Lee, even though he was posing with the movie's stars after the ceremony, reportedly tried to walk out of the theater when "The Green Book" won best picture. He told reporters after that he felt like the win was a "bad call."

Articles after the show speculated that Lee was likely upset by the win for the same reasons the film had been criticized in the past, "for perpetuating what some saw as a “white savior” narrative approach to examining race relations.," Variety reports.
