Alot of prostitutes will be around the Fulton Fish Market and the Fulton Fish Market has been associated mostly with the Five Families of New York. The prostitution that goes around the Fulton Fish Market does the Five Families have anything to do with it.
As a staple racket for the mob, prostitution has been passe for a long time. Furthermore, the mob (specifically the Genovese family) lost control of the Fulton Fish Market back in the mid-1990s's when Giuliani instituted new industry regulations over the wholesale food markets in the city. The mobbed up trucking and seafood companies in the market were forced out and the market itself was later moved from Manhattan up to the Bronx.
Members of the Genovese and Lucchese families were running a gambling operation in the new market a few years ago. And I believe a Genovese guy extorted a kickback from a DeCavalcante-connected company trying to get a waste hauling bid there a few years ago but obviously it's not like it was.
