The Armone brothers -- Joe, and his older brother Steve -- actually originated out of Lower Manhattan. Hence the nickname, "14th Street Steve"

Even the Fatico brothers, Ruggiano, and, later, the Gotti brothers didn't originally come from, or operate from Queens. Each of those families were born and bred in the East New York section of Brooklyn and in later years migrated out to South Queens, where most of them relocated the wives and children and eventually started doing their 'business' out that way.
