Go to the orginal Umberto's location on Mulberry street where Joey Gallo was killed. The restuarant has moved to the other side of the street and they have a fake bullethole were they said was from shooting but its BS, so where he was reallty shot was the restuarant exactly opposite to it

You also got the former site of Gotti's Ravenite club on mulberry street. And there's Casa Bella that used to be owned by Mike Sabella who was Lefty Ruggerio's captain and an acquaintance of Donnie Brasco Yes, got to eat at Casa Bella. Wasnt it there Joe pistone at one time was standing guard outside with Carmine Galante inside eating with Sabella and some other top guys in the Bonnano family? Must go there! Speaking of donnie brasco and lefty, knickerbocker village is another place Id like to se as lefty, mirra and some other guys lived there.

We are making our second trip to NYC in December....I appreciate the history, etc, but also wondered whether Steaks Steak House is famous for its food as well these days? Thanks in advance....
Sparks Steak House even!

I know, everything is gone and the neighborhoods is completely different now - but I still want to see some historical sites. Since you'll already be in Manhattan I'd suggest seeing the Park Central Hotel (7th Avenue and 56th Street). Albert Anastasia was shot and killed in its barbershop in 1957 (it's now a newsstand off the lobby on the 55th Street side) and Arnold Rothstein was shot upstairs in one of its rooms back in 1928 (he died a few days later). A few blocks away at 59th and 8th Avenue is Columbus Circle where Joe Colombo was shot during an Italian rally in 1971. Also, over on the eastside - at 230 Park Avenue (the big old building that straddles Park Avenue at 47th Street) was the building in which Salvatore Marranzano was shot and killed back in 1931. I don't know if you can get inside the building these days but if you still can it's also worth it to see the beautiful old elevators. (It's not too far from Sparks Steakhouse if you're walking).

casa bella on mulberry? that was blasts place Still is. The daughter holds all the permits. But the place is persona non grata to wiseguys today. If they were smart, they would have made their own restaurants and bars off limits forty years ago. Nothing but trouble, and when the first "civilian" gets slapped in the face the place is history.
