Why this experience? We LIVED this firsthand. We're Born & raised in Little Italy - or cops who worked the streets here - both active and retired/ NYPD Officers. Our “walk with stories” breaks the typical tour company mold of boring facts, repetitive "stops" & irrelevant dates replaced with personal life experiences. Walk the very streets where the mafia strolled with a real resident and meet other locals along the way. Plus food included is equivalent to a full 3 course dinner!

Growing up witnessing some of New York’s infamous families and having consulted for TV and major films makes this a unique experience no other company can offer.

Beginning at a famous Mafia "Red Sauce Joint" as seen in Soprano's and "Get Gotti" this experience winds through the East Village & Little Italy visiting notorious Mafia and Crime locations sharing personal true crime stories and eating amazing food from the neighborhood. Rated #1 "Things to do in New York" Recently featured in the Washington Post

Dennis was an unbelievable guide. His stories and his passion for the "little Italy" that he grew up in, was so interesting and exciting to hear. His personality was so perfect for this tour.

The walking tour was very interesting. It gives you a local’s experience of New York. The restaurant’s dishes were good. The gelato at the last stop was the best.

Walking tour of neighborhoods associated with the mafia along with some tasty Italian food- Our tour group of 40-50 met at first spot for spaghetti and meatballs (John’s on 12th). Everyone was provided with headphones and walkie-talkie type of device, then we set out on a roughly mile long walk through neighborhoods. We were provided with lots of information about mob activity in the area since ~1920s. Our guide also provided us with ample stories of his life in the neighborhood and as an NYPD officer. Lots of info- so much we started to have some trouble focusing. Then we had eggplant rolatini at a second place (delicious!!) and walked through Little Italy to the final stop for yummy Italian pastries. Interesting and tasty way to experience this part of NYC, especially if you want to learn more about organized crime.
