Artie's Artery wouldn't have have been in a strip mall, it would have been in a building somewhere on French Street, between Suydam and Paterson. While I'm amused by the idea of the two establishments being neighbors, I imagine Callahan's branch as located further west along Route 27, anywhere from here to here. (In fact, the site of the Wells Fargo bank visible on the latter map used to be the location of a run-down bar up until about ten years ago.) Anyway, this stretch of 27 not only runs through New Brunswick, but also through Franklin Township (Somerset) and into North Brunswick.
Alternately, Callahan's might be on this stretch of Livingston Avenue, which has hosted a number of small bars over the last twenty years, and is physically within the environs of New Brunswick.
The Banzai Institute is more correctly known as "The Banzai Institute for Biomedical Engineering and Strategic Information" and many if not most sources put it in Holland Township, but at least some materials connected to the movie put it in or near New Brunswick. (And one Facebook page puts it in Grovers Mills!) Exactly where in New Brunswick is hard to say -- outside of disappearing a park or part of one (possibly Buccleuch Park on Easton Avenue), there really isn't any room for a walled compound in the city. If you don't want to follow the majority canon and put it in Holland Twp. and want it reasonably close to the other refugees in New Brunswick, you might want to consider putting it somewhere along Hamilton Street or Amwell Road on this map. None of that is New Brunswick proper, but it's within minutes of Rutgers, and less than half an hour from Princeton.
