None. There isn't one club left.

And before you ask, I'm 53 years old, grew up at 187th and Hoffman, own a building there now and still live in Throggs Neck. Patsy still owns Rigoletto, but that place is off limits to any of that stuff.

The restaurants and stores are still Italian, but the population is almost entirely Latino today. Even most of the Albanians, who followed us to Belmont, have moved to the suburbs.


pizzaboy, I bet you've rubbed shoulders with a bunch of mob guys in your lifetime. Not saying you are old by any means but you were around back in the mob's glory days. Any good stories of bumping into guys?
