I worked in this area around 1977. I remember walking by Robert's Lounge, and wondering who would want to enter such a dirty, sleezy looking bar. Occasionally, there would be one or two nasty looking guys hanging out front, who gave passers by dirty looks. At the time, I did not know that it was a Mafia hangout.
larryfine88 imagine you where like dude what the fuck you looking at think u might have went under ground mad stuff
Wouldn't of thought it would of been dirty and sleezy looking lool
you can feel the vibes when you're around mafia people. feels weird.
It's the sleezy ones people can be themselves in and let their hair down!!! Sounds like alot of hair on the floor tho!?!
I know that vibe. Peeked my head hrough a curtain into a back room card game once when my mother was in line to buy bread at the Italian bakery on Fulton Ave. I'll never forget it.
Wow these are legendary stories youd here on the street growing up in Queens...exactly what kept you very respectful in your daily activities because yes one wrong wiseass move could have gotten you trunked
IROC Chevys, Track suits and mullets everywhere. It was inescapable. And ladies hair as big as their ass. That was the 80s for ya.
Netural drop , shoutout from your subscriber folks
@@satt4603 yooooooo
My wife grew up in Woodhaven and would tell me stories
"Tommy never had the makings of a varsity athlete"
"Small hands was the problem"
🤣😅😂
He should have stayed in the shine box business,he could still be alive.
You said that to the girl cousins growing up and it was very hurtful 😂
Billy wanted Tommy to get his shine box.
More cowbell
Love this mob stuff especially from the streets of New York awesome content Mooney not to hard to find something to show in a historic city.love it.
👍
Another amazing video, keep it up! Love from Yorkshire U.K
Its years later now and I have been in this area before years ago.. I'm far away now.. I wish I could go back one more time. Your Videos are my way back in to the past Thank you...
Just came across your channel and it’s my new favorite! So much stuff, so much drama came out of Queens and Brooklyn! And your telling of events is spot on and so interesting, I’m going thru all the videos now. I’m a former New Yorker, been through all the boroughs, and find all these back stories of the mob fascinating, also must say some things really scared me, hard to think that these people involved were so ruthless and could kill or be killed without so much as a care in the world. Anyway, I commend you for digging up all this stuff and presenting such interesting videos!
Thanks for going through all my videos
9:10 That Key Food has been there since at least the early 1970s. My grandparents were on 114th Street near Aqueduct. As much as I thought I knew about Goodellas, I did not know about Robert's Lounge. Thanks!
Brad the Pitts key food was mob owned
@@ohioalarms8364 Aw man, probably still is!
I live here and never knew that wow !!
Thanks again brilliant videos. Been looking for something like this for years. Thanks for sharing 👍
I love your channel! Thank you!
Wow Bring back memories growing up in that side of Queens, NY. You forgot 101st Avenue Ozone Park .
The neighborhood was about half Italian when we moved there from Manhattan's Lower East Side in October 1970. We lived on the border of Richmond Hill and South Ozone Park, on 124th Street, 7 or 8 blocks from that bar. From the late 70s thru the 80s I hung out on 101st Ave, west of Woodhaven Blvd (75th-85th streets), in Ozone Park. Mostly Italian there. A whole lot going on there at that time. Wouldn't recognize none of these areas today. Largely Guyanese since the 90s. In a million years, no one around then would have predicted that.
Another great video . One of the best channels on RUclips!!!!
Great video! Loved hearing the back story to the characters from Goodfellas. I heard the movie doesn’t come close to showing how many murders those guys were really responsible for. Especially Jimmy and Tommy
It’s very rare that the true story is crazier than the movies
The real story much more bloody than the movie
One of my favorite movies! But it was mainly a story told by Henry Hill and what he did and was exposed to or heard
I really like your narration style. Also the dash cam concept and your knowledge of the given topic. Good deal.
I appreciate it 👍
Love your videos. Love the sound of your truck, and your crazy dad and uncle did a live stream driving your truck, I hope you get it back in one piece and Uncle Stunt does not get behind the wheel. Your videos are so interesting to folks that live in blips on a map like Lansing, MI like me. I could do a dash cam around here and show where Ransom Olds drove the first Oldsmobile and where they made the anthrax vaccine, when we thought that was a scary thing at the time, Covid said hold my beer. Thats about it around here, I could show Emil’s, the now closed Italian restaurant where Al Capone stopped on his way from Chicago to Detroit. I could show the corn fields that you see as you drive a few miles out of the city. Keep the videos coming and stay safe
good video you can tell that you do put time and effort into all of your videos.im all over the island and learn something I didn't know in almost almost all the videos i watch from you
Thanks for always commenting Brian
the nautical mile in freeport would be a good video
For sure adding that to the list
This is where I grew up a few blocks away.loved growing up there.lot of good people lived there
Everyone that has lived there or close said it was a great place
this is very INTERESTING,,,, GOOD WORK, EXCELLENT WORK.
I walked and drove by this place many times and never knew the history about the bar, thanks for the cool video as well a history lesson! 👍😎
Mooney. Loving the videos bro.
Another killer video Mooney!
Karl Childers 👍
New York mafia shenanigans is legendary. But for the average guy, it didn’t matter. For the most part, if you weren’t a threat to them, they left you alone. Most of us weren’t even on their radar. Thanks man, another great history lesson!
👍
Like, if you screwed their wife...you were on their radar...if you owed them $10,000,000 you were on their radar. If you didn't pay the protection money, you were on their radar.
@@thiscorrosion900 It's called tribute like in the old country except they were doing that here in USA.
@@ellenannswift7219 I see.
Best videos!! Keep them coming :)
❤️
Over here in Scotland mid sopranos binge and found your channel, awesome stuff man
Thanks man
"No Karen..it's in there...just go right in there, pick out whatever you want....." Oof.
Love the mob stories neat history lessons 👍
Thanks for the Tour, greetings from U.K!
Nice video with great narration. The sound of your car adds to the ambience.....l picture an old Monte Carlo from that era.
Hey. Chicago here. This on site history if the mob and other things is fascinating. Keep it up Dash Cam.
Mooney dash cam. Thanks for the cool video. Sorry I misunderstood something bro. Keep up the cool videos.
New Yorkers will double park on any block! There’s more tire shops than Churches an Liquor store.😂😂😂
Man, was this FUN!! Looks like a rather pleasant residential neighborhood for all the violent actvity that went on there. "Goodfellas" was one of my all-time favorite films. That guy Remo you'd mentioned; wasn't he the pain-in-the-ass compulsive gambler who owned the men's wig shop (Maury's Wigs) and drove everyone nuts? I remember Michael Imperioli played Spider, and I'd thought Spider was kind of intellectually slow which made him easy fodder for the guys to rib. "Take him ta Ben Casey!" Tommy yells after he shoots off Spider's foot! Tommy, OY!! Talk about psychotic!! 😲😲😲
Another good one Mooney thanks 4 the ride
Thanks George 👍
The lounge was nicknamed the Sinatra club... very important, there is a very very good book. The author was the owner, Sal Polisi aka Sally Ubatz. A Columbo soldier, originally a stand up dude turned informant. He explains alot of this in extreme detail.
I apologize i did speak too soon being we all know Henry had his own Bar/lounge also... Where the events you mentioned later on in the video did take place. I just spoke before watching the vid in its entirety. Yea & alot of ppl dont know Gotti actually clipped Desimone being they did not even give the slightest hint of this in the movie. What I do know comes from reading at least half of the many books published by a wide array of these guys.
@@antoineharris8722 could you please list some of those books?
Grew up a few blocks away, I remember going to this bar with my Dad in the early 70's many times. They would serve me Shirley Temples while my Dad did whatever he was doing...we wont go there..lol. I also remember playing hopscotch on the Bocci court when I would get bored inside..
I grew up 3 blocks from there.
What is a bocci court?
Bocci is a game that many Italian people play. The court is a long rectangle box.
Look up on Wikipedia.
I'm not Italian but I love bocci ball.
This is fascinating,thanks!
I just subscribed e to you love this thanks for posting
Must be strange owning a business in that building now if you knew what used to be there and went on.
For sure
Makes you wonder if it's haunted.
i worked there, and the owners are aware.
Just Like The White House...
@@satyaroopsingh3371 is the food any good?
One of my cousins drove me by this place back in the 90s right after the movie came out, and laid on some of the creepy BS that might've been in the book, but didn't find it's way into the film...I think it was a restaurant by then too, but can't remember what...Like the old Gemini Lounge over in Brooklyn, this is another infamous mob "Kill Zone" that has a whole lot of murderous lore attached to it... I think there had been quite a few actually disposed of there, but Jimmy Burke was smart about it, and whatever was rumored to have gone on there and wound up getting planted there for a while, didn't stay there...It was also rumored that Theresa Ferraro might've been killed by either Tommy DeSimone or by Jimmy Burke shortly after the Lufthansa Heist because she was believed to be an FBI informant... Her torso was found floating near Barnegat Bay Inlet after she had been reported as missing in early 1979...
Another great one Mooney! Love the look at these old mick and guinea neighborhoods today, they look so much different than they did back then. Oh the memories,thanks for the great vids bro!
Me to
I wish when you show locations you would have it on camera a lttle bit longer.
Love your channel.
Mooney you should start a tour company. Guys like me would pay a lot of money for the privilege of just rolling around New York with you at the wheel. I'd love to see it, but I don't wanna drive, I wanna rubberneck around.
Great idea
@@MOONEYDashCam are you aware of Frank Cullotta's tours in Vegas? There's video here on youtube of one of his tours.
Lester Diamond never heard of him but I’ll check them out
@@MOONEYDashCam you're in for a treat. Culotta was part of the Chicago Outfit and was sent to Las Vegas to protect the Skim. He was a critical consultant to Martin Scorcese and Nick Pileggi for the Screenplay and the Movie Casino. He entered witness protection when the FBI played him the tapes that proved Tony Spilotro was gonna have him whacked.
@@MOONEYDashCam for a great look at the true story of Frank Rosenthal and Tony Spilotro and the skim, find the video "Mob on the Run" hosted by Ned Day. That's a fascinating history of Las Vegas.
Great video, thanks for the research......
👍
What am I a f'ing mirage here spider? I asked for a drink.
I thought you said "im alright spider"?
🤣😂
@@nicknikolia8682 that's it Spider don't take no shit from nobody.
@@nicknikolia8682 No ya not awright Spidah, you're all FUCKED UP !!
That fuckin boot is bigga then ya fuckin head!
@@nicknikolia8682 "You're not all right, Spider, you got a lot of problems."
I really enjoy your videos, thank you. Was there an actual Morries Wig Shop? If so, any idea about where it was?
good shit mooney
Thanks
The birthplace of the "SHINE BOX"
AY TOMMY
Watch the suit watch the suit
All grown up doin the town look at this..tbey use to call him spit shine tommy hed make ya shoes look like fuckin mirrors
Filmed at Neir's Tavern 🍺 in Woodhaven 😍
Lived around the block on 77th st in 89' when they were filming.
My friend was friends with Tommy Desimones sister she told me she knew all of them .. unfortunately she recently passed a couple of years
Hi Mooney, love your videos...could you do one of Howard Beach, for Gotti sr, John Carneglia, and John Favara's?
Great video
Great videos
Thank you dude great video 👌👍 that's a great story about desimone walking into a bar and people slowly leaving . Scary dude . He was a kid he died in his late 20s .. also love the burke story of him cementing the basement . When you make that Uturn I thought many days and nights they were there planning the luftansa heist .. and imagine after that heist . All those blocks your are driving around are filled with all types of police and feds watching that one bar lol .. great stuff my friend glad I'm subscribed .
Nono thank you for watching!
Roberts lounge is a 10 min drive to gottis bergin hunt and fish .. Gotti hated tommy also cause tommy killed this guy foxy . Who was another friend of his .. and noone really know exactly for sure who killed tommy. Some people say tommy agro admitted to it . Some people say it was Gotti .. I think that they took tommy to be made and a group of guys came out of nowhere and beat him to death . But who really knows in the end . Stuffs interesting
I dont think 29 back then was like 29 today
@@NEUTRALDROP not at all your absolutely right , and especially with this guy who was hanging around the gent 24 /7 like a son .. but no matter who though I definitely agree 29 then is alot different than 29 now
Gotti whacked him because he killed billy bats who was a close friend to gotti. He also wasn't made when he whacked billy bats which is obviously a rule break.
Henry hill gave an interview confirming this
Love anything to do with the mafia so thank you.
This video was cool.
Great video. Awesome story and facts. What ever happened to these guys? I know Henry Hill went to witness protection but did the others gets killed? I wonder if there are more house of horrors?
We used to live on 90th Ave and 77th St in Queens just off Jamaica Ave. I remember when they were filming Goodfellas at Neirs Tavern around the corner. It was summertime I think and they made it look like winter by shoveling crushed ice everywhere.
Brother another great vid ! Ya I remember reading about Remo in Wiseguy he was like Jimmy's best friend but he fu@ked Jimmy didn't care you fu@k up you're going Thanks again stay healthy stay safe 🙏
Cool channel! Subscribed 👍
Thanks mark
Store owners receiving stolen property? Why am I not surprised? Nice job Mooney.
Good stuff man, love it. So to be clear, the now Jamaican place is the site of Burke's bar? Thanks for doing these videos, I do quite a few myself, love the drive arounds.
Yes it’s a Guyanese restaurant now
@@MOONEYDashCam Love that these sights on the east coast don't get dozed as much as out here in the west.
Captain Borax yeah the old buildings stick around out here
Lived there decades ago, neighbor was allegedly part of the mob, while not advocating or saying the mob was “good people”, I can say neighborhood crime and quality of life issues were rare. The neighborhood took a real nose dive once they left. Now single family homes are subdivided into 3-4 illegal units. No street parking, drugs, loud music, speeding cars. Terrible.
Ozone Park home sweet home 🏡
Oh my god I hope you show more of this area
I am always thinking what everything would look like in say 1982....oh man imagine a tape was found of someone doing like this but1982...I love watching these brother you explain the history and the guys biographies really good and knowledgeable RESPECTS!!!
A vintage video would be incredible. I love the old videos of Brownsville and the south Bronx in the 80’s
Its always something about the 1980s we all love looking back on lol
In 1982, that would be called 'surveillance footage 🤣🤣
Went to John Adams 86 thru 90 ,those were the good days ,grew up in OHB
If you don’t mind me asking what’s your first name I might know you from OHB
only times I went to Howard Beach was to stop at Sports Depot and a slice at New Park pizza on my way to the Rockaways.
ina NY min I used to live across the street from John ADAMS. Used to be racist like a prison. Each race had its own entrance
Ohio Alarms I moved from NY in the 8th Grade. I would have went to Adams, early 80’s. Moved to NH so didn’t have to deal with any of that.
I went to Adams 90 to 94 was on the football team
RALPH MACCHIO IS THE VOICE BEHIND THE CAMERA!!!
Great voice
I knew it!
@@johnsorto6737 Haaaaaa!!!! Glad im not the only one who thinks that!
Holy shit it is him
@River Dog Both from New York! Scott Baio from NYC and Ralph Maccio from Huntington NY!
Henry hill own the suite on queens blvd.
Isn’t that where billy batts was killed?
That was quite interesting. 👍🏻
Great video. If I am ever in NY I am going to visit that Jamaican restaurant and just reminisce.
That’s a good idea I should stop in there one day
So much history in my own neighborhood amazing.
Excellent background information.
I got flashbacks.... Mom ....Mr. Softy
Cool video once again! but why did you delete kings point vid? I missed it dang it lol
It’ll be put back up don’t worry
@@MOONEYDashCam Thanks a lot, and stay safe :)
The town looks old but clean as hell. Don't see any Graffiti at all !!!! Nice tour...
If a Jamaican food joint is successful there, then fixed up and called Roberts Lounge, an Italian restaurant would make a killing there. Pun intended.
After all the murders and bodies buried in there, how is that place still open let alone serving food to the public?
It is odd but time passes and people forget
Ahhh the good old days when ozone park was safe
Dumbass
What made it safe...let's be specific. Because if the mob was active there it was safe
Who much more powerful..Italian mafia or the cartels?
@@dzuromeza1928 the irs
My dad was from Ozone Park. He was born before WW2. It sounded like a very crooked neighborhood from his stories. He said they would sell you gasoline mixed with water at the gas stations.
mascara1888 hey I believe it
Lol a lot of gas stations in the hood do this. I’m from Boston and I swear there was a gas station in Somerville the nobody would go to because the gas would burn so fast. After some time they got shut down for doing this lol. They would get people who weren’t from the area because they didn’t know. If you lived around the area though you knew better.
Enjoyed the vid, just a little bit of info, Batts was killed at Henry Hill's place on Queens Blvd.
That is true.
Correct. Batts welcome home party was at Roberts lounge and that is where he made the crack to Tommy that pissed him off. A couple weeks later at Henry's place "The Suite" DeSimone pistol whipped Batts. They then put him i the trunk of the car, and realized he wasn't dead and beat him to death with a shovel and tire iron.
My parents told me John Gotti hosted the best 4th of July block parties. Fireworks, food, everything
I believe it
It was the best! My family is from Howard Beach. Everyone new John had the best parties
@pdqI dont know anyone really. My family name is Vitale. They lived in Richmond Hill, Howard Beach and Far Rockaway respectively. My Uncle Angelo used to have a Pizzeria, but moved it to the sticks of NJ.
You bet it was the best the good old days
Passed by there 100’s of times on my way to the race track...he must have hung out there as well.
A mature Joe Pesci played the role, but fate caught Thomas DeSimone early - was disappeared by age 29.
John gotti hit
Try 21.
Jesus christ!! That young??
@Mike Williams You are correct sir. I read somewhere he was only 21 when he got wacked. Oh, well. Thanks for the 411.
No he was 29
Spider that bandage is bigger then your friggin head... Mooney dash.. you have good, interesting content, thank you.
Really weird to see the streets i drive down everyday in the third person for some reason, even weirder to now know the dark history. Like that spot is right around the corner from me. Interesting stuff
Thanks
Damn bro u shed a great deal of light to me from good fellas film I love that movie...i always wondered why Tommy was killed .....so whats the back drop on why burke Robert Deniro character and Henry Hill character by Ray Liotta why they were not killed only Tommy for the made guy at bar he allegedly beat with gun in movie they had in trunk
I don’t know why but this stuff is fascinating. I’d love to visit all these places knowing the mob used to hang out there and the things that went down. They’re historical locations. A bygone era.
I grew up 3 blocks from there. Very interesting.
Great content!!!! He needs to slow down the visuals & show these places longer.
The neighborhood has completely changed since the 80's and 90's
I wish I could go back to the time you recorded this,doing so well, but my fiance and I ugh, it was rough, split by Dec,then back again, finally July 21, done. She passed Nov .05, 41 yo,one month since bday.cv 19. Despite what was going on, we always got back together.
I’m sorry to hear that
Used to live there . Deff feel the Italian mafia influences now that i think of it .XD
Damn I was just in ozone park! lol
*You should start driving tours (with actual passengers) and call it "Goodfella's Mafia Tours". hehe. If you do, I'm expecting 'a cut' for giving you the idea! You can bring me on as a "consultant", Haha*
very good video
👍
Would be really cool to actually walk in to some of these places and film.
Dude you should have taken a few mins to park the car, get out, vlog the scene etc.
I do appreciate your knowledge on this though, you did a good job overall.
What route did you take to get to Rockaway ? Street name ? Where did you start ? What streets were you passing along Rockaway ? Curious since I passed through ' that area many times many years ago. Had family and friends there.
BTW I thought Hill owned the Suite on Queens Blvd not Burke.
Cross bay Blvd then cross bay bridge
BrooklynEagle my 1st girlfriend used to work at that movie theatre. Funny when I see it on King of Queens tv show.
WELL YA HAD MY ATTENTION UNTIL YOU SAID DENIRO AND I CAN'T STAND THAT FAKE MOBSTER WANNABE CRETIN!!! BUT YOUR VIDEO IS STILL AWESOME ANYWAY DARLIN!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND WORK!!!
Just curious. .how is he a fake mobster wannabe. .isn't he an actor?...or Is there a history about him that I'm unaware of?
@@nathanwoods1810 She's just insane, dude.
Since that fukN dirt bag said shtt about our president TRUMP,
I've REFUSED to watch any of his movies.
Proud of my decisions
@@charlespipitone2324 He is our president...not JESUS...wow...its gonna be okay. and he hasn't been doing any acting in the first place- do you have a tattoo of Trump'
s face on your chest too?...lol
@@nathanwoods1810
It's not only the disrespect Deniro has shown toward the President and the people who voted him in, He has a very nasty attitude in general.
He's had a good life, don't understand that nasty ugly personality he has.
It would be so much more interesting if you named the streets and intersections you are aproching and driving on. How about a few land marks as you ride along. Thank you,interesting video. Bty,I don't remember the year but the bar changed its name to The Lefferts bar? I reckon.
You should film inside that establishment, that would be neato
