Our “walk with stories” breaks the typical tour company mold of boring facts, repetitive "stops" & irrelevant dates replaced with personal life experiences. Walk the very streets the mafia ruled with a real resident and meet other locals along the way. Plus food included is equivalent to a full 2 course dinner! Growing up witnessing some of New York’s infamous families and having consulted for TV and major films makes this a unique experience no other company can offer. Beginning at a famous Mafia "Red Sauce Joint" as seen in Soprano's and "Get Gotti" this experience winds through the East Village & Little Italy visiting notorious Mafia and Crime locations sharing personal true crime stories and eating amazing food from the neighborhood.
