New York City Mafia and Local Food Tour led by NYPD Guides
Description
Begins either 4:30PM or 5:15PM. Why us? We LIVED this firsthand. Born & raised in Little Italy - or cops who worked the streets here - active and retired/ NYPD Officers. 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.

This Mafia tour is a must. You really get to dive into New York’s mob history and see the city through the eyes of a former NYPD detective. The pasta was great, we learned so much about Cosa Nostra and its history in New York, and we were able to ask plenty of questions along the way. Frank had so many fascinating insights and made the whole experience incredibly enjoyable — his storytelling genuinely gave us goosebumps. And the cannoli at the end were the perfect finish.
Jay was absolutely excellent very informative and interactive. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants an authentic experience of New York 10/10 thank you
