A focus on Frank Costello :

His childhood home in East Harlem (now a playground)
In 1895, he boarded a ship to the United States with his mother and his brother Edward to join their father, who had moved to New York City's East Harlem several years earlier and opened a small neighborhood Italian grocery store.



His appartment in West Side Manhattan (The Majestic)
In early 1957, Genovese decided to move on Costello. Genovese ordered Vincent Gigante to murder Costello, and on May 2, 1957, Gigante shot and wounded Costello outside his apartment building.




His house in Sands Point, New York
He retired to his home in Sands Point on Long Island, trying to live out his life outside of crime and die in his own bed, not via assassination.

A focus on Charles "Lucky" Luciano :

Luciano was born on November 24, 1897, in Lercara Friddi, Sicily, Italy.
A view of Lercara Friddi town center (by the way, Frank Sinatra's father was also born in Lercara 5 years before Luciano)


In April 1906, when Luciano was nine years old, the family emigrated from Sicily to the United States. They settled in New York City in the borough of Manhattan on its Lower East Side, a popular destination for Italian immigrants.

His second childhood home


Charlie Luciano was multimillionaire, but unlike his teenage friend Al Capone, he chose not to live in a palatial mansion protected by an army of bodyguards. He preferred the luxurious anonymity of plush hotels. In the early 1930's, Luciano lived first at the Barbizon-Plaza and then at the Waldorf Towers, part of the Waldorf-Astoria.
Barbizon-Plaza (now called the Trump Park after Donald Trump purchased the hotel in 1981)

Luciano moved to Havana and was later deported to Italy, living out his final years in Naples.

@aleksandrored You're welcome

Annother addition :

Location of Wimpy Boys Social Club in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn
For years this was Colombo capo Greg Scarpa Sr. home away from home. At one point, one of Scarpa’s crew murdered a young woman they feared would turn informant. The woman was shot in the head, rolled up in a rug and disposed of elsewhere. Days later a dog running around the club walked up with the woman’s ear in its mouth.




Location of Nestor Social Club (Carmine Persico's HQ) in Park Slope, Brooklyn
As Carmine resumed his life with his three sons and one daughter in their stately home in Hempstead, Long Island, he set up his business headquarters in a South Brooklyn social club called Nestor's on Fifrth Avenue at the base of Park Slope between President and Carroll Streets, within blocks of where he grew up.

Thank you for posting the club where the 3 Bonanno Captains were killed. Always wondered where that actually happened. I've seen the location mentioned also as "a Clinton Hill social club" and a "downtown Brooklyn social club" - both locations worlds apart from Dyker Heights.

What's the Gravano connection? He had this club before Tali's ? I know Gotti helped with the bodies. Assuming Gravano let them use the club. I didn't think Gotti and Gravano were close in 81 or whenever this happened. Did the order to assist Massino come down from the top? (I.e. Neil or Paul??) - i wonder how many people knew the 3 captains were going to be hit before it happened

A focus on Frank Scalice


His house in City Island, Bronx
He lived and raised his family in the City Island section of the Bronx.



Location of his assasination site in 1957 (Enrico Mazzare fruit & vegetable store) in Belmont, Bronx
On June 17, 1957, while the city sweltered in record-setting heat, Scalise made his usual rounds in the Bronx.
Although he kept an address on Kirby Street in the Bronx outlier enclave of City Island, the teeming Crotona-Fordham neighborhood around Arthur Avenue was Scalise's true home. He and his six brothers kept a headquarters there at Jack's Candy Store, on Crescend and Arthur, near St. Barnebas Hospital.
At around one one o'clock that day, Scalise left his Bahama blue 1956 Cadillac parked in front of 630 Crescent, a block from the candy store. Wearing light-colored slacks and a yellow shirt, he strolled down 186th Street to the busy shops and restaurants of Arthur Avenue. There he stopped at Enrico Mazzare's green market, where he picked out ninety cents' worth of peaches and lettuce.
Two men double-parked a black sedan in front of the grocery. One of Albert Anastasia's torpedoes, Vincent "Jimmy" Squillante, his nephew, goldchild and chief enforcer in the mob's $50-million-a-year garbage collection racket, got out of the sedan with an accomplice. Both dressed in black pants and white shirts, bith wearing sunglasses, they entered the store, cornered Scalise, and tore apart his face and neck with bullets from paired .38 revolvers.
There were ten shots altogether, including a last one to the victim's shoulder, which spun Frank Scalise around and finally dropped him.





Police restrain John and Philip Scalise after they view the body of their murdered brother.

Location of Jack's Candy Store (Joseph Scalise's HQ) also in Belmont
The Scalise murder triggered another. Frank's brother Joe swore revenge, so on September 7 (nine weeks before the Apalachin summit), Squillante and his accomplies killed Joe Scalise as well, dismembering his body and packing off the remains in mob-controlled garbage trucks.

You are right, a lot of sources mentions different locations (mainly the 20/20 Night Club in Clinton Hill & the Embassy Terrace Catering Hall in Gravesend) but the most relevant ones points out to the Gravano club on 13th Ave in Dyker Heights.

Here are two of those sources :

Book -> King of the Godfathers by Anthony DeStefano

A third meeting was called, this time at a social club on Thirteenth Avenue and Sixty-seventh Street in Brooklyn run by Salvatore Gravano of the Gambino family. The three captains were still suspicious and wanted Lino to come along but decided that Indelicato’s son, Bruno, should stay away. “They thought they might get killed,” explained Lino, “so they says if I would go with them.” “Why didn’t they want Bruno to go,” asked Andres. “Because if we got killed he would retaliate,” said Lino. The three captains and Lino met some other Bonanno associates after 7:00 P.M. at the Sage Diner on Queens Boulevard. Though Lino didn’t know it, FBI agent Vincent Savadel had by this time already seen Massino and others leave the J&S Cake Social Club in Maspeth in a hurry. After being driven to Brooklyn, the three captains and Lino left their cars at Nathan’s Restaurant on Eighty-sixth Street and Twelfth Avenue and were taken by other cars to the Thirteenth Avenue social club.

From 45 minutes, we can see Jerry Capeci in front of the 13th Ave club describing the hits.

By the way, I don't have details about the Gravano connection on this event, would be great if someone can provide us some infos.
