I didn´t know ghonjotti drove a nice cadillac!

Great photos!

That's great. I told my wife I should knock, but she was not into that idea at all!

I feel like it's one the rare locations in Manhattan where outsiders are spotted quick. There was hardly any foot traffic around when I was there. Check out Bamonte's Restaurant too - me and my family had dinner literally one table over from Sonny Franzese and his nephew John Capolino.

Go sit in Caffe Palermo and watch Baby John DeLutro hold court. I've watched guys walk in and hand him envelopes. A couple of nights ago there were 6 or so guys sitting around a table with him in the back. I went to the counter to get a biscotti(they're the best in my opinion) and he got up to serve me.

best cannoli in the city. he works his balls off!

I like the random three cones so no one will park there.

In 1991 or 92 I dared my girlfriend to walk into the Ravenite and ask if they "were open" like she mistook it for a restaurant. There were probably 10 or so guys inside and she did it. Walked all the way in. I stayed out on the sidewalk and could hear a guy yell, "IT'S PRIVATE!"
