I actually should say that that area USED to be a mini little italy... And you still see vestiges of that.... Little pockets in Franklin square, elmont, floral park etc. As far as the club goes I have no independent knowledge of what goes on there, just going by what I have heard and by the similarity of Skinny's description to that place. King Umbertos is great food, although they are a bit heavy on using the same sauce on everything. As far as Irish hats... It's what me and my friends call the kangol style hats... And I'm allowed to say it because I'm Irish.... Anyone who is familiar with that entire area would know that in the past, meacham avenue running up to Hempstead turnpike and that area in general used to be and in some cases still is very Italian. That being said u r right... Very heavily Latin American these days...
