He helped us to create an experience from a true “insider’s perspective” of the East Village NYC mafia stories. Growing up witnessing some of New York’s famous families and having consulted for TV and major film productions on both crime and law enforcement, has contributed to develop this unique tour. Our expert tour guides lead this experience in the East Village & Little Italy, following the footsteps of notorious New York Mobsters!
