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

The whole experience was exceptionally informative and enjoyable. I have spent almost my entire 60+ years in and around NYC. I thought I knew a lot about Little Italy and the Mafia legacy, but I learned a lot more. Our guide, Dennis O’Leary, had a wealth of firsthand knowledge from his breadth of experience.
Great tour with unique foods

Genuine/ real. It was an experience that you can’t create for yourself by researching the internet. It was also well-run. The tour ran on time, even attending 2 restaurants, a pastry shop, and walking to numerous interesting places along the way. Our guide was second to none, having grown up near all of the places we went. He didn’t glamorize. His enthusiasm came from sharing his personal stories and a true appreciation for what “was” throughout his childhood and career as an NYPD detective. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and respectful to everyone.

It was a lot of fun and interesting history on the local mafia. Great food; the spaghetti with meat balls, Eggplant Rotini and the Italian bakery were top notch!! Dennis's experience and knowledge of Little Italy made this a truly unique and fun tour. Highly recommend.
