Ooh, I just want to add one more thing. That deleted still that Sonny posted is from the old "Mare Chiaro," as I stated. But for you fanatics out there, I should note that Frankie is strangled in a different bar (which is still in operation today). It's called "Vazacs Horseshoe Bar," and it's located in Alphabet City (Avenue B & East 7th Street).

I think I speak for everyone that Pizzaboy gets a pass for his part in the hijacking. Great info and a super thread! Again, well done, Sonny Black. BTW - is there really a Rosato Bros. coffee?
