BTW Graham Ave is now "East Williamsburg" lol, I know Carmines bought the place next door and have that sports bar. Surprised he would hang there.

Side note, across the street from Carmines is the Napolitano Pharmacy, I always assumed that the people who own it are related to Sonny Black, given the proximity to the Motion Lounge a few blocks away.
Was in the sports bar a cpl times, he did it nice, but from what I hear it’s not doing good, but Carmines does great & the food is pretty good

hes also off restrictions i believe. does anyone know anything at all about him?
He still goes & hangs out in pizza place he always hung out in Greenpoint, but he’s really old, like wheel chair, can’t hear, can’t see..I seriously doubt if he’s involved in anything
Out of curiosity which pizza place are you talking about? I lived in Greenpoint for 4 years, if anything I would assume he would hang out at Carmine's on Norman but that closed a year ago.
Yes Carmines on Graham ave

Yes thanks, I couldn't remember if it was proven that he wasn't Underboss in the sixties and eighties.
