New York Mafia Tour Experience

Join one of our expert local guides on this exclusive evening experience that kicks off at the legendary “Red Sauce Joint” featured in the legendary TV series, The Sopranos. Our guides are retired and active NYPD officers born and raised in this very neighborhood, they will cut the BS and give you an “insider’s perspective” on NYC’s Mafia lore. You’ll gain unparalleled insight into the shady operations of the city’s infamous Mafia families as we walk through the East Village and Little Italy under the cloak of darkness. Hear our incredible stories garnered from decades of lived experience in Little Italy on this one-of-a-kind NYC night tour, offering a perspective no other tour company can match.

We begin this unique night tour experience in the East Village, where you will learn the complex origins of the Mafia in New York City and the hierarchies within each crime family from the foot soldiers to the captains and the ‘Boss’. Spend an unforgettable evening walking in the footsteps of famed mobsters like Lucky Luciano, Joe ‘the Boss’ Masseria, John Gotti – the Teflon Don, “Vinny the Chin” and “Crazy Joe” Gallo, as you hear about their lives and their crimes.

You’ll then explore Second Avenue’s prohibition history as we walk along this famous avenue exploring places most tours miss. Next, we will visit Liz Christy Bowery Houston Community Garden where you will hear about the history of this amazing urban garden and its connection to the New York Mafia.

Next, it is a visit to Elizabeth Street where multiple crime families’s “social clubs”, including the Ravenite operated and were at the center of Mafia drug activity known as The French Connection. If you’re looking for a New York Godfather tour, we will recount the history of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral and tell you how it came to pass that it was included in The Godfather and Mean Streets.

We’ll end the tour in Little Italy where you will visit local, historic food joints — including the room where the Mafia was formed. Get your taste buds ready for Italian style dinner tastings, including a “primo” and a “secondi piatto”. Finally, end your tour with a delicious ‘dolce’, a cream-filled Sicilian cannoli at the best pastry shop in town!
