pb, you might appreciate this story - Gambino was waked at a funeral home near his house in Brooklyn. It was a weekend (I THINK it was Saturday night) and my ex and I had some company come over to our apartment. Our guests were from out of town and wanted to try some authentic Brooklyn Italian food so I and my guy friend went out to get some food while the ladies stayed in the apartment. I drove to Carolina Restaurant in Coney Island - about a ½ mile from the funeral home. The restaurant was absolutely mobbed (no pun intended) so we went over to Spumoni Gardens, a short distance away, to find it even more crowded there. All because of the mourners in the neighborhood.

Ended up getting Chinese food back in Midwood.
