Okay, for people not aware of GTA fandom, I'm going to give you a good run down of what's available in Liberty City (and the state of his world if it's looked into). I'm up for taking up to four people, based on either them being friends or promises that they can help his cousin secure his livelihood for after Niko leaves for good by giving him awesome help while they're here. Network message will be handwaved because I spent all my word calories this week. But comment here if you want to work something out.
Some of the cities are the same but the structure of those cities, the names of landmarks, and the street layouts are considerably different. Most of the city names are references to our counterparts; Liberty City is like New York, Los Santos is like Los Angeles, Alderney is like New Jersey, Vice City is like Miami, and Las Venturas is like Las Vegas. The states are a little different, too, with Liberty State, Alderney State, North Yankton (presumed to be based off North Dakota), and San Andreas (California). Florida has been mentioned by name but this may turn out to be a script error. Liberty City is split into Dukes (Queens), Bohan (Bronx), and Algonquin (Manhattan). Niko has lived on all three of these islands and in Alderney.
The two islands he will be restricting his visit to are Algonquin and Dukes.
Highlights of Algonquin: There are ritzy clubs and shows. Star Junction is the center of much of the city's public activity, and part of its public image. To the north, in Hollond (Brooklin) there are gangs that will attack you if you wield a weapon in public in their territory. It is well advised not to do so, as public fights bring the attention of the very ruthless police force. But there are plenty of places to enjoy yourself even if this is the more expensive part of town. Jerkov's and Club Liberty. To the south is the Statue of Happiness on Happiness Island. A helicopter tour can be taken there, or alternately a helicopter can be stolen and a flyby done.
Highlights of Dukes: The area of Dukes that Niko will be sticking around in the most is Hove Beach. Similarly to Holland, there are Albanian gangs and the Petrovich Bratva, so it's unwise to go around with a weapon out. A few of the diners are frequented by career criminals. That will not stop Niko from eating at them. Comrade's Bar and the 69th Street Diner are two places in the area, and Niko will probably want to take someone to the Memory Lanes bowling alley. He will also go by the Homebrew Cafe to visit his friend Little Jacob and to play pool. This is Yardie territory so be nice.
Also there's iFruit (iPhone), WEAZEL NEWS (FOX News), and randome chains like Burgershot and Cluckin' Bell that can be found on either island. The shitty president is President Lawton and there's still a lot of paranoid anti-terrorist laws in place. Thomas Stubbs is running for congress and milking this.
Newspapers, if people look back far enough, will have stories about things Niko has done (if you played GTA IV) but won't cite Niko specifically. The only thing they will mention of him is the story about his girlfriend being shot down at a wedding, and that Bellic fled the scene. There is also porn of him on the internet.
P.S. Almost every pedestrian you meet is some kind of jerk, and there are basically no kids out in public. Enjoy that.
