The photo of Maureen that Elliot shows Cragen in the bar is actually a picture of Christopher Meloni's daughter, Sophia Eva Pietra Meloni (rather than one of Erin Broderick). The same photo, enlarged and not cropped, appears on Elliot/Christopher's desk in the squad room tour hosted by Dann Florek in one of the bonus features on the season one DVD set.
The store sav-mart is also the name of the store in the film one hour photo starring the late robin Williams as a photo lab clerk.
