What was Times Square like in the LCN hey-day? I've heard it's been cleaned up a lot but was more of a red light / adult film area back in the 70s and 80s.
The Cosa Nostra heyday of Times Square might go back to the 30's.
Lucky Luciano's office was at 1500 Broadway. That was when he was with the Broadway Mob. Don't think he was mafia at that time. Once Lucky went in with Don Guisseppe, he moved to the Hotel Pennsylvania which I think is still the largest hotel in New York City. It's right across from Madison Square Garden.
