very thorough and professionally well done. Love the suttle tour guide vibe. With actual locations. Thank you. I grew up in Harlem before it bacame a tourist attraction. Then eventually 250 Mercer across from the bottom line above above Swensons icecream..Miss having Miss Grimbles cheese cake at the olive tree. While watching old Chaplin silent movies
Thank you for the kind words. Hope you get to make it back to New York soon.
I dated 3 girls at the same time named Elizabeth when I was in hr college.
I remember when Nana told me I had a call from Elizabeth. I asked which one. She asked "How many Elizabeth's are you dating?" I replied 3, + she retorted "You're crazier than your father."
G-d. I miss Nana.
Which one ?
You've got lots of nice content. Looking forward to see this channel grow substantially. You're onto something special
Thank you. we appreciate that. Please share the channel with others you think may be interested.
0:28 i love how the guy to the left bends over to his wife and says look there's Lucky Luciano like he's a big Movie Star
Lovely work and many thanks.
Appreciate that very much. Thank you.
The Chin was pretty smart. If you're gonna keep a mistress, find one with the same name as your wife. You can't mess up by saying the wrong name. Genius!!!
Even better if they look alike.
Chin was as paranoid and paid more attention to detail about not getting caught than anyone. I guess that is why it took 30 years to get him sentenced. He was an old man by then.
Crazy Eddie Antar did same thing with his “Debbie’s”.
Pope of Greenwich Village is my all time favorite gangster movie.
In another timeline it was "The Pope of Grenich Village" 100% positive. There is residue. Even this announcer says "Grenich Village" Many of my family members also remember Grenich village as well, including Judith Gambino who I know personally. I vividly remember the VHS movie cover saying "The Pope of GRENICH Village.

@@RomancingManhattan As an English man brought up on your American diet of movies, 📺 and all things fascinating I have to say I'm grateful for your work and effort giving us these insights and when we come over the Pond I'll be sure to bear you in mind, best wishes 👍

Great Interview! And Brad looks great! I'm taking his advice that just let it go, it will be alright. 💯
Great video
Chicago Outfit would always have whoever screwed up the job killed right away..Even if they weren't caught.The men ordered to kill the Spilotro brothers and the men that were ordered to dispose of the bodies were 2 different crews..Bodies were buried in shallow graves and found by property owner shortly after..Men in charge of disposal were killed.
Only a mother could love Vito with those crazy eyes. LOL
On the streets the Genovese family is called The West Side, because Vito Genovese and Chin Gigante came from Greenwich Village.
I lived in the village and use to see "The Chin" around. One day I asked him if he needed help and he told me to "F*ck Off". He changed from appearing to be suffering from dementia to completely lucid. This was outside the Donut shop at the West side Exit/Entrance to the W4th St. Subway. I didn't know who he was until I saw him in the Newspaper following his arrest.
3:20 -Law and Order based an episode on Gigante. I lived on 4th and Macdougal, knew all these streets.
Why isn’t the last “e” in his name pronounced. I know American “Italians” frequently drop the last vowel but back then?
Dope
Looking at what we have now, I'd gladly welcome the mafia back 😆
Huh
They had people that'd kill you for doing something wrong and we have gangs that'll kill you for fun
Don Vitone, one of the most feared Mobsters ever
Pozzo!!
You medigans love the mafia but pronounce the names incorrectly.
It's not 'GEN O VEESE
It's GEN O VAY SAY
😆 This is true. You are right. When I’m giving these tours in person I usually pronounce the names in both the Italian way and the New York way.
Im here
Genius
💯💥🐲
The Hanging Elm Tree .. WTF
I don’t know why so many were let in to America, causing murders extortion ect, not forgetting the cost of keeping them in prison don’t make sense america paid a price here smh
Now cops gather in circles to text together while crime runs ransack around them. FTP.
They text to each others being just feet apart from one another, too lazy even to speak.
I had a friend from Italy I went to college with in Boca Raton. I asked him what did he think about all the Italtian kids descendents of immigrants going to school with us. Here's what he told me; " In the late 1800's all the lowlifes scum of Italy we're driven out and they came to America " . This guy was a very special person. He had a bad case of cerebral palsey. I've met a few very aristocratic Italians unlike the violent crude mouthy thug types who have ruined the good name of the Special people of Italy. It's a Shame. Stupid is everywhere.
Wow. What a horrible thing for him to say. I wonder what part of Italy he was from. It seems that northern Italians have a negative view of southern Italians.
@@romancingmanhattantours6640 We sure do and for good reasons, 'ndrangheta, mafia, camorra, sacra corona....all phenomenon of the beautiful south.
It's a common stereotypical trope for Italians to diss those who emigrated to America seeking a better life that they could never find in Italy, I've heard it a lot, so don't take that at face value...it's bigotry, pure and simple. I'm sorry that your friend had cerebral palsy but that doesn't make him immune from the failings that unfortunately many of us succumb to.
America was built on it's immigrants and history tells us who is right, built by those fleeing poverty and oppression and which nation enjoys the highest of status in the world.
Did Gigante do a miss hit on purpose.
It’s unlikely since botching a hit can mean the end of your life.
@@RomancingManhattan guess if he wanted too finish him off he would do few hits in the head.And he knew how to shot.
Later they were all friends inside.Well F Costello did very short time and was friendly with them like nothing happened.
Was probably a reminder hit of what might happen if he don’t step down.F Costello was quite old but better choice then Genovese.
But then I might be wrong.
Of course you make a good point. You never know.
This is confused, showing the same places more than once. Weird!
Can you tell us where you see this so we can provide an explanation for our viewers?
I only see that image once. But if you do see an image twice it’s because it’s relevant to the commentary. Thanks for watching!
I was on a SW in the village many years ago, it was a gambling case and when we hit the place the main target wasn't there, Then about 15 minuted later a guy comes to the door and says "who's there?" One of the guys I worked with says " It's the police are you f!@#ing blind" and we turned around and the guy had a walking stick, he was blind...
So the Chin pretended to be PAZZO but then became really PAZZO?
The mad dago don
Umm this guy married his blood cousin ???
So did Carlo Gambino
How does a guy with a mug like Gigante get TWO women???
Money and power mysteriously make you better looking, 🤣🤣🤣
Vito married his cousin. I guess he wanted flipper children.
