Activity in Manhatten

[AnIrishGuy]

Wondering what the current picture in terms of active crews in Manhattan. We know that a big feature of the gentrification of LCN in recent decades has seen activity move more to the boroughs and associated suburbs - is anything happening in the city nowadays?

Also apologies to all for misspelling Manhattan in the thread title **facepalm**

tons of money in Manhattan. So every family has guys doing construction projects there. Doesn't mean the company's are head quarters in Manhattan just the sites are there. Do they hang out and have drinks after work or look at blue prints. That guy who heads the luchese family actually worked in construction so they might be actually out bidding jobs and what not. The days of gotti and chin sitting in a social club all night are gone

I bet theres still made guys who own parts of bars and restaurants all over Manhattan.

Isn't the old joe butch corrao crew still operating out there

Since East Harlem is in Manhattan, my impression is that there are still some low key guys in the neighborhood. Obviously you have Rao's, and some of the brownstones around Pleasant Ave are still occupied by old Italian families. When I lived on Pleasant about 10 years back I definitely saw guys who played the part coming and going.

According to charts on this board you got 10-12 crews that are operating on some capacity in Manhattan. You got plenty of guys that still own bars, caffes, restaurants and even social clubs on Manhattan. There is stil plenty of activity going on even if you lack the enclaves in Harlem and little italy like the old days.

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 Louie Eggs out of the Cafetal social club on Mott. Manhattan has changed drastically but there is so much money there you could never keep the mob guys away. All 6 families that operate around here have guys in Manhattan

Too much money in Manhattan, in various forms, for the mob not to be there. Seems the Genovese family has always had the largest presence.

It’s really hard to picture Louie Eggs operating out of Cafetal Social Club. I’m not saying you’re wrong, just saying that that it’s really hard to picture someone like Louie Eggs operating out of that place down on Mott St.

It's not like a ravenite scenario where there's 15 guys hanging out doing walk talks parading around in armani suits....it's a real business anyone can walk in and order a panini or coffee but he's there pretty often and people know that's where they can get him if they need him.

Yeah I knew it wasnt a private club and that it was actually a Breakfast, Lunch and early Supper joint that anyone can walk into. I dont know, for some reason I just cant picture Louie Eggs hanging there but I certainly believe you. Nothing makes sense anymore in the year 2020........
