Overview
Begins 4:30 or 5:15PM. First let me say that most Mafia Gangster Tours in New York City are total BS- Our experience comes right from the “horse’s mouth” no filter. Rated #1 Things to do in New York. Hosted by active & retired NYPD Police Officers- I appear in the movie "Life After Goodfellas" as myself, to be released on Prime Video on 35th anniversary.
