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

Lou is a very interesting guy and was a huge earner and probably the man now with Abramo out. I believe he has always been Little Italy based with his right hand man Rago. Him and Abramo might be some of the top guys in that family now.

a lot of restaruants on the east side from 60-80sts are controlled by a couple of crews from the lukes and gambino families. a lot pf non union construction these days and its no coincidence that the mob was all but pushed out of the unions excluding concrete which for some reason operates like a parole board.. cava construction is genovese owned. there hooks are all through jds developement co. plus many many more

There used to be actual Italian neighborhoods in Manhattan. Heck, not just neighborhoods, entire sections. There's probably a social club on every block in Staten Island.
Glick told author Nicholas Pileggi that he expected to meet a banker-type individual, but instead, he found Alvin Baron to be a gruff, tough-talking cigar-chomping Teamster who greeted him with, “What the fuck do you want?”

I don’t know but they were apparently very close before they went away and did work together

A decav update would be great as it’s pretty dark with them. They have guys out of prison that were big earners. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a sizeable construction crew(s) out there.

Union and middlesex counties are big $ so they could have a few some nice gambling packages to live off as well.

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.
That must’ve been interesting.

East Harlem is still a bit active. Nothing like the past but there’s a daily presence.

Yes. From what I understand there are still some guys that hang out there, though of course they no longer live in the area.

Do you guys think Manhattan is that much different from Brooklyn or Staten Island? I am trying to figure out whether it's just people being pushed out to some other area or the phenomenon changing and disappearing altogheter
