Where was the bergin hut and fish club while it was in brooklyn?Bergen st and rockaway ave?
I honestly don't know. That intersection is in Brownsville and that would make sense being that most of the Italians that lived there eventually moved to Canarsie, Ozone Park and Howard Beach.

Maybe it had to do with the Bonannos involvement in a toy making union that they had going back in the day. Just a wild guess.

Great question.

What weird names. Toyland, Bergin fish, Wimpy etc.
Who wouldn't wonder about these names. history, basis etc.

You hear a name of an Italian mens social club called 'Toyland' and your response isn't to ask....'ummm huh?!?'

I'd genuinely love to hear an explanation of some of these...

So would I . At least some of them. Toyland is one I'd actually like to hear. Could care less about the Bergin. And I think Scarpa knew it'd be a tongue in cheek joke type of thing. But toyland? Were they involved in illegal toy distribution or something? Sounds like an early scheme Merlino would have come up with back in the day.
