New York City Mafia and Local Food Tour led by NYPD Guides

New York City, USA

Full description

Begins 5:15PM. Why join us? We LIVED this firsthand. 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

Lovely

Loi is a lovely person who is both good at his job and very knowledgeable when it comes to giving this tour. Greeted with a firm handshake to getting a photo at the end was a lovely experience and I suggest everyone to come and do the tour. -TS

Fun guide, bad lunch, too expensive

Mike, the guide, knows his topic and as an ex-NYPD member, he has some fun stories about his time. In order to be even better, he should try to set the time period of each story, as he covers more than a century of history, going back and forth in time. On the negative side, for a group tour, it is far too expensive, even for a 3 hours experience. The canollis were really good but the "lunch" is not one: there is a small starter of spaghettis with tomato sauce (the latter is really good) and some several days old bread, and that's it! Before a 2 hours walk and considering the price, that is insufficient!

Little adventure

You get a thorough tour of the East Village all to way to Little Italy. It’s a good walk and you learn many other things about the history and culture of the area. You also gain an understanding of NYPD and a new respect for all they have done, especially with regard to the challenges of 9/11. The mafia stories are fascinating and you learn of their impact, both good and bad.
