THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Question: what "club" was the Luchesse club?

The Coddington Club was a Bonanno joint which once refused entry to Steve Crea.

Patsy Parello also didn't seek revenge for his son being murdered. The Genovese hierarchy wouldn't allow it.

I dont believe Gene when he says he was the only shooter in the Bonannos and was the toughest mobster on the streets. He had 3 attempted murders so he technically isn’t even a killer. Plus, compared to other families the Bonanno’s have a decent amount of shooters. Anyone else think Borello’s full o...

The fulton market is the obvious one that comes to mind.

Aside from that the Luke's Long Island crew tried to extort a restaurant in the fishing community of Freeport a few years back. The restaurant was called Hudson and McCoys, and it has since closed.

Not 100% sure, but wasnt Ace Aiello in on this hit as well, which got him his 30 in Club Fent..? I know it definately pales in comparison to the 73 days I just served out in County.. :mrgreen: Basciano was a stone cold fucking gangster... on the santoro hit I’m pretty sure basciano had the shotgun ...

Honestly I get more info from 'deep dives' into this site than many of these books.

Still I read all of them, and I will get both the DeCav book and the Genovese book. (Distefano wrote about a murder that Basciano committed in Queens on Francis Lewis Blvd that is still a mystery, or a myth)

I bet theres still made guys who own parts of bars and restaurants all over Manhattan. Manhattan is the epicenter of NYC so as long as there are mob guys in NYC there will be mob guys in Manhattan. Quick examples before I have to get back to work are Joe DeSena out of Caffe Napoli on Hester and Lou...

That's what I'm saying. Which crew is DeSena capo of if the area has become a desert for Luchesse activity?

Perhaps he just has one or two guys.

Gene Borello has also said something along the lines of "Howard Beach is all Gambino and bonanno".

i saw this and at the time thought he was talking about vic amuso. also, isnt there currently a lucchese capo who lives in howard beach with the same last name? DeSena? Interesting if true. The recent Pennissi rat testimony on the Luke's did not cite an active Queens crew. I believe he mentioned 2 ...

Looks like Chierchio wrote a nice bio about himself on medium in 2019 (while the scam was going on):

It is not the original Ribera Club.

Based on photos the Ribera Club seems to still be a thing and is directly across from the Peterstown Community Center.

With a massive, state funded community center next to it I doubt they are actively wheeling and dealing at the club.

I was walking all around Peterstown today. I have a week off from work and staying in one or the Elizabeth hotels so I figured whatever. Crossing Elizabeth Ave. heading south/southwest into Peterstown and the neighborhood takes on much nicer look than the rest of Elizabeth, which is rather tough. Th...
