Q.
Where is it supposed to be on the show?
A. In New York City.

Q. When did we see it on the show?
A. We see this spot in Episode 4 of Season 1 of Resurrection.
Dexter arranges to meet Lowell (the serial killer known as The Tattoo
Collector, played by Neil Patrick Harris), for Happy Hour.
Lowell is already at the bar when Dexter arrives, but he tells Dexter
he's going to have to cut their conversation short because he is
planning to kill a young woman (Jules) who is getting a tattoo at a place across
the street, called the Silver Serpentine tattoo parlor.
Lowell works as an anesthesiologist, and he shows Dexter that he has brought along
brought along portable tanks of gas to knock out his potential victim
when she walks home from the tattoo parlor after dark.
Dexter realizes that he is going to have to put an end to
Lowell sooner than he expected, in order to prevent him from killing the
girl, but Dex didn't bring along his equipment.
So Dexter improvises by sneaking up behind
Lowell (as Lowell is about to grab the girl), and uses Lowell's own
knockout gas to subdue him.
The Tattoo Collector wakes up on Dexter's kill table, which Dexter has set up at the tattoo parlor.
Q. What is it actually in real life?
A. A bar inside a restaurant.
Q.
Where can I find it in real life?
A. This scene was shot inside Aurora Brooklyn, an Italian restaurant located at 70 Grand St, in the Williamsburg neighborhood.
That's on the southwest corner of Grand Street & Wythe Avenue, in Brooklyn.
That's about midway between two other Brooklyn locations: The bowling alley (to the north) where Dexter and Mia go bowling, and the Navy Yard (to the south), where the police discover the dismembered body of Harrison's victim, Ryan.
Google describes Aurora as an Italian restaurant with rustic Italian food in a Tuscan-countryside setting.
But in this scene, you don't see much of the place beyond the bar, which is located just inside the front door.
In the following
scene, where Lowell's potential victim, Jules, is walking down the street,
and Lowell attempts to grab her from behind, she is walking west down
the north side of Grand Street, basically right in front of the tattoo
parlor.

Q. How the heck did you figure out where it was?
A. While
watching the scene, I noticed that on the wall behind Lowell was a
blackboard, on which was written what at first looked to be a list
of names of specialty drinks. But a closer look revealed the words
Aurora Manhattan. and Grand Street.
So I took a chance and googled for those two terms, and ended up
finding out about Aurora Brooklyn, on Grand Street. When I checked
out images of the place, they matched up, including the tattoo parlor right across the street.
And then I found a discussion online in which someone reported that Dexter had been filming at the restaurant and the surrounding block .
