Man shot and killed in iconic NYC bar featured in HBO’s ‘Girls’

A man was shot and killed inside an iconic Nolita bar once featured in the HBO series “Girls,” cops said.

The 39-year-old was at Tom & Jerry’s Bar at 288 Elizabeth Street when the shooter started blasting into a crowd out front around 3:30 a.m., police said.

The bullets smashed “through the glass window and hit the victim” twice in the chest and once in the stomach, a police spokesman said.

The victim was rushed to Bellevue Hospital but couldn’t be saved, cops said.

The gunman ran off towards East Houston Street and was being sought by police. 

Witnesses told cops there was no interaction between the two men before the shooting, which cops believe was random.

The bar was in a scene in the HBO show “Girls,” when one of the characters stopped in to have a White Russian, which leads to a rendezvous with a stranger in the bathroom.
