Morello's spaghetti restaurant at no.8 Prince St., near the intersection of Prince and Elizabeth streets. Across the street at no.9 Prince St., was Lupo the Wolf's Import Market. It was at the back of no.9, that Lupo allowed Joe Masseria to open a saloon. After The Clutch Hand Morello and Lupo went up the river in 1909, the Terranovas moved up to E.107th St. and left Salvatore D'Aquila in Little Italy. Masseria took over Lupo's operation and controlled Elizabeth St where he was involved in numerous crimes including burglary. He operated an open liquor market along Elizabeth St from Grand St. to Kenmare St. in Little Italy, named Whiskey Curb or Bootleggers Curb. D'Aquila began encroaching on Whiskey Curb, often with gunfights in the open street. By 1920, war for the control of Little Italy, between D'Aquila and Masseria, had erupted and it was at this time that, Masseria brought in Luciano.
