Is that when he swapped the Bentley for the PT Cruiser too?

Bonanno captain Nick Alfano and some of his crew lived in and around Yonkers.

I doubt Retenni lived in Yonkers. He was absolutely loaded. Didn't he live in Rye, Katonah, or like pound ridge?

You mean Rockledge Pl or Rockledge Rd? If the latter, than that is of course one of the more affluent sections of Yonkers (by Sarah Lawrence and close to Bronxville).

IDK why I had associated the Crea's with that gang. My mistake

Yonkers has always been a de facto "extension" of the Bronx. Lots of wiseguys lived there and Westchester in general, but confined their activity to the Bronx or Manhattan.
Papa Dave from the Gambinos lived on Kimball Avenue, Joe Sass from the Genovese lived in Westchester as did Joe Dente (when he wasn't in California)
The Pagano's were originally from the Bronx, but moved North a long time ago.
Filipelli and Campos both live in Westchester, but not Yonkers. Filipelli is in Armonk, and Campos in Scarsdale. Both very "nice" suburban communities, despite their presence.
Steve Crea originally was from Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, but later moved up to Westchester. I'm pretty sure his son lived all his life in Westchester, mostly New Rochelle and Yorktown.

This subject came up not too long regarding Filipelli, who lives in Westchester but the majority of his crew's activity doesn't necessarily seem to be there. And crew activity seems to me a bigger factor of where a crew is based than where the captain lives.

Pagano lives in Rockland County but I've seen one article describing him as Westchester-based. His crew's activities seem to more or less span both counties. And it's the only crew in all the NY families that seems to be based in the north suburbs.

In addition, the Genovese have some Bronx-based crews that are active in Westchester, i.e. the Parrello and Balsamo crews.

The two Bronx-based Lucchese crews have activity in Westchester. And the Bronx-based Campos crew from the Gambinos.

Nah, I think they were under Anthony Santorelli, his son Freddy Boy was a member.

I was trying to suggest that Yonkers was part of Mario or Danny P’s base. I know they were also Westchester based.
Pagano , while prob having a crew with operations in westchester and the bronx, is rockland county "based" - he's the rockland guy for the genovese.

I'm not sure if there are any Yonkers based crews solely, but guys who live and operate in Yonkers and are in "bronx based" crews - i.e. crews that historically can be traced back to the Bronx but operate 'all points north' now.

The Luccheses had two Bronx based crews as of 2017. I'd be curious to know how many the Genovese have, if you can even simply pigeonhole their crews based on location like that.

Re: Yonkers

by Wiseguy » Wed May 12, 2021 5:59 pm

Whether it's Yonkers or Westchester in general, the Genovese have the most presence. Luccheses would be second, albeit a fairly distant one, with the Gambinos a distant third. The other NY families don't really have a presence there.
