besides whatever money they shave off of the feast and legit things like restaurants I doubt there is too much going on. maybe a card game or something.

the type of people that own shops on Mulberry now, especially the stuff on the stretch between Houston and Kenmare, are the types of people who would go to the cops if the slightest thing was off. the rest of the neighborhood was swallowed whole by chinatown on one side and yuppies on the other years ago.

I believe the place you're talking about in the Sopranos is one of the 'Benito' restaurants.

I have a similar question about the Lucchese family's "Prince Street Crew" though . Always wondered if that was still in existence?
