Looks like Joeys restaurant is up for sale

Well, that was a flop. Unless of course it was a typical mob scam of what they call "busting the joint out." Seeing as no money of his own was put into the place, and he definitely had to get a percentage of a couple of paychecks from the place.

true he never actually owned it was Stanley Stein was the owner joey was just an employee.

Stein and the other guys probably lost alot of money out of this but thats the price he pays for being one of joeys hangerons back in the 90s he did the same thing had loads of guys who would pay to be around him joey would take a "loan" regularly of them which he never paid back or he would make them "partners" in something once again they never lost anything. I dont have any sympathy for any of these investors they knew exactly who they were getting involved with and they know what joey is like

Joey probably used this for the parole and as a scam i was surprised when he first got involved he can run any sort of business everything he has ever tried has failed look at his book with ralphie head in the 90s.


Does this mean Joey will be moving back to philly?

Its about ten minutes from where I live.

The few times I was by the place there was never more than a few people in there. Joey was always there, at least any time I stopped by he was.

I don't know if they set this up somehow but there always seemed to be a bunch of super high end cars (Ferrari, Bently, ect...) parked out front even if there were hardly any people in there.

It was also in one of the highest rent areas in all of South Florida. I'm sure that didn't help.

@ salvie62 meisner park?

Hah get the hell out... That's hilarious...

90% of new restaurants fail within 12months.

Still, only five months for one with that sort of investment, backing and 'buzz' is surprising.

Interesting to see his next step.
Back to riding horses?

Yeah, he was right in the real nice section of east Boca. Meisner Park is just a couple of blocks walk if you use the alleys behind the big buildings.

I didn't want to bring this up but my friend and I did a free audition to try and get a night or two a week there. We played for a couple of hours, but things did not work out. The people at the bar kept saying they couldn't hear the music and the people in the dining room kept saying we where too loud.

Its a difficult room to play because they never figure on live music when they build these places. The bar was all marble and glass, and the actual dining area was carpet. I moved my speakers all over the place but I just couldn't get it right.

In the end they had "kareoke/track" performers there. Also, at the bar you had a lot of young kids who could care less about Sinatra etc.... And most places would rather just pay for one person who uses backround tracks instead of paying for two guys playing "live".

Weird, you'd think they'd keep it around to just wash money and give joey a place to hang a legitimate job.

Anxious to hear the story behind this when it surfaces. I suspect Merlino & crew helped themselves to not only $$$ but the use of investors credit worthiness.

You watch to many movies...lol...

Not sure in this case if my thoughts are far fetched. Stein fronted the $$ for many things to Merlino to include the restaurant. I believe a safe bet is there was some falling out between the two. Call me crazy but I think my "hunch" is correct.
Whose credit do you think was used for all the luxury autos Joey, Deb and daughters were driving?

What is your basis for them falling out besides a restaurant being sold?

If that is all you are going on, that is quite the stretch.

I think some of you fellas have a point.

AS far as the cars go, one night Joey would be in a Masarati, the next time he'd be in a two door Bentley or a Ferrari. I seriously doubt he owned all these super high end cars he was driving.

Yeah bro that seems like a rental situation there...

More than likely charged to the credit card of a one Stanley Hubert Stein VII

That's what some of us are saying may have been done in the first place. But if it wasn't a money maker anyway like guys are saying, then I don't know.

yea I kinda thought that also. these two probably don't get along after I read this story yesterday. he got used credit destroyed an practically stolen from.. I personally feel he should stop all payments on all vehicles. or if paid for he should hold title to these all the free merlino cars.. If I were stein, I would say givem back.. Or call them stolen if he dont get vehicles them back.. but he got no nut or nutsack what so ever.. just lost millions prob.. The FBI might talk to this
stein about merlino.. he ought drop dimes like a cash register.. ought send that non workin punk back up the river.. and wait until the FBI gets a hold of that fat little grande boy for murder.. they all be peeling potatoes in the can.. an giving head to other inmates.. they will turn grande into a women in about his first night..

You talking about Wayne Grande? Thats the kid that the little old hunchback Riccobene got the best of in a phone booth years ago.

Imagine that little old man taking a gun away from a twentysomething Grande?

You're probably right, he wouldn't do too good in prison.....

Wow your just the type of guy in the modern mafia, so quick to "drop a dime" on someone, remind me to never do any work with you. As for Stein fuck him, he knew what he was getting into, if you swim with sharks sooner or later your going to get bite. But I seriously doubt that is what happened. More than likely the business served its purpose and since it wasn't a money maker they decided to close it and Stein will get a nice huge tax break for the failure. If Stein was smart and well since he is a millionare I will say he is at least business wise this was an incoperated investment so any creditors will just get screwed since they cannot touch Steins personal assets. In the end Stein will probably make money on the deal.

Dom Grande

"Doughy" Dom Grande.

Regardless of who the owner was or is and who's credit card was being used Skinny is still living a life of a guy making over a million a year and he is being watched so close that he will be having problems with the IRS unless this sugar daddy he has wants to keep up this charade .

Business is business and if this guy (sugar daddy)has the Feds breathing down his neck looking for receipts from designer clothes shoes and jewelry and very expensive cars that Skinny has and his immediate family also it's going to get old.

With out a doubt the Feds are putting pressure on this guy and have Skinnys every move on audio and video that he will have to account for the money or they will stoop to her level to put him away on taxi evasion cos the guy is living it up on the camera matter where he goes .

Lol, taxi evasion. You raise some very good points Serp, and it'd be interesting if all that turns out to be true, but that typo was funny.

Who the fuck in their right man is some successful business man seeks out a convicted high level mobster and decides hes a good guy to go into business with?..and dont gimme that shit that its cuz lf Rita Merlinos outta this world gravy..there has to be some sort of connection...has anyone found out how this Stein guy is connected to Joey? Ive never read anything concrete about how and when they met?

If im guessing id say Stein owed joey or someone big time shy or bookmaker proceeds and he agreed to set him up when he got outta the can? Maybe even kept the juice rolling

@Mikey that's funny and made me laugh. But in all seriousness I've thought the same thing. I've heard people say oh it's just an old rich guy who is enamored with the mob and he just wants to hang with Joey etc. However, would it be worth $2mm to this guy and maybe even a federal conspiracy charge just to hang with this guy? I don't know. What I do know is the Stein guy is a Philly native. He started and founded his nursing care home business out of Plymouth Meeting (Philly suburb) and even has the LLC out of his law firm in Plymouth Meeting. He's rich now but there's a chance based on the geographic link only that there was some gambling or maybe even early partnering with the mob. If any of you read blood and honor Nicky crow was setting up these Medicare scams through shell doctors offices or offices/nursing homes that would play ball. All this is lofty speculation, but I'm just saying the geographic link is there which would lead one to speculate if there's was already a relationship well before Joey was even convicted in 2001 let alone some sort of indebtness.

PHL- haha thanks buddy..but seriously like I mean im interested in OC and im a lawyer have no desire what so ever to fuckin go into business w people whos sole reason for getting up in the morning is to cheat and steal ...makes zero sense

I had no idea that Stein was a lawyer thats all the more idiotic on his part...but based on your solid info and recall buddy id have to think there's definitely a logical link between those businesses and Stein.

There has to have been some sort of prior relationship and he had to owe Joey in some way shape or form..otherwise this fuckin dipshit had 1-2 mill in liquid assets lying around and thought to himself " i could invest this in a mutual fund with moderate growth potential and low risk.. Or I could contact this fella from South Philly fresh outta Federal prison for racketeering and an alleged mafia boss/killer and front a high end restaurant in Jew Heaven putting up all my own money b/c his wackadoo mother has some good gravy recipe?"

Sorry I should have been more clear. He isn't a lawyer by background or trade to my knowledge, but they recently re-registered the restaurant LLC to his Plymouth Meeting based lawyer's office.

The part of Boca Joeys place was in I really wouldn't call "Jew Heaven". Its mostly a lot of college kids from Florida Atlantic U that would hit all those joints in the Meisner area.

Yes at one time Boca was very heavy Jewish and still is to some degree, but many of them have moved one town north to DelRay. Thats ground zero now.There are new Temples everywhere.

Jews love Italian food, most of my Jewish friends think the olive garden is great....I've even been invited to go once or twice, but I tell them it goes against ever fiber in my body just to eat the breath mints in an Olive Garden, and if my Parents ever found out I was seen in an Olive Garden they would take me out of their will. It would kinda be like a Born Again Christian being caught in a gay bar for an Italian to be seen in an O.G. There are two Olive Gardens in Boca and they are always packed. but if you want to know where a good Chinese place is those are the the people to ask.

merlino sounds like he wants to go to jail

does he even have any legal businesses besides an attention grabbing restaurant

Some philly poster says he wife is a sales rep for the largest alcohol dist. In philly 250k yearly salary that covers alot of bases car loans mortgages ect. Friend pf mine always fines a nice whip cheap million miles or salvages flood cars. Or just a few years old.

Down there. Do all the cars come from them fancy car rental places down there.

You can join a rental club and drive any car you want for a few thousand a month out here.

Salvi - ha ha i know I was just making a joke since historically Boca was always a big Jewish area

PHL - my mistake buddy, I read it wrong about him being an attorney. If what previous posters indicate his wife may have some money too. Still this whole deal makes zero fuckin sense

He posted on his instragram that, the restaurant is opening again in October.

Where is he? Anyone see him around been in Atlantic city area all summer havent seen him or his guys around. Wasnt relly looking either

Yea he is down here you can catch him in Johnnys often and quite a few places in Margate if he is in AC he will be with his godson .

Who is Joey's Godson?

Also, I wonder what happened to whispers of Joey supposedly opening up some sort of cigar shop or something like that on Passyunk Avenue?

Is anybody surprised that Merlino's restaurant has failed? For all intensive purposes, Merlino is not a businessman and never was. He is the leader of a small gang of childhood friends, hardly the mafioso the local Philly press makes him out to be. The stupid fucks who actually invested into the restaurant while the 5'3 gang leader was a maitre'd. He's a guy who barley has 3 nickels to rub together. I'll give him credit for doing his time and keeping his mouth shut at this day in age, but I can't see in the least bit that bosses and high ranking members of OC in NYC take him even remotely serious.

Is he still married after the wife was sucking a few cocks while he was in the can?

Hard to spot a midget in a crowded casino

Palm Beach County is 80% Jewish, half of NY moves down there for the winter.

believe me, I know all about it. But many are leaving Boca for DelRay Beach. both places are in Palm Beach Co.

Tons of jews in boca, oh my god !!!! Its like being in isreal and scary as hell.
Jews do know chinese food though.
Gotta be real careful in palm beach county, if you go in the wrong direction you will hit a hood filled with blacks. If you go to in the other wong direction, you hit a chinese restaurant. Get it? I wont quit my day job..lol wait, i dont have a fuckin job.
Being serious, those blacks in florida are bad news so be careful.

^^^^^^^^

So true, but it would more than likely be a carload of Hatians

You are dead on !! But you will have a hard time convincing people on here .

The guy should have been dead five times over and is one of the luckiest I have ever seen .

He is not connected to the mob family so I will not put him out there but he is in a lot of pictures I see floating around .

The kids father was connected to the mob back in the day and was a AC guy but Nick did not like his family so the father always gravitated towards the Merlino's and other Philly guys he also hung out in Philly often .

The godson is a grown man now although half my age or more.

I know, i lived in Jupiter for 7 years

stay away from Tamarand Ave

i'm not looking to convince anybody about Merlino. he's got alot of fanboys on here which actually puzzles me. he's a leach and he's very bad with money because "he ain't got none!" how's his sidekick, georgie the idiot circus clown who looks challenged.

Is Merlino still in FL or has he returned to Philly? besides gambling, what else is Philly into? With the legalization of casinos in Pennsylvania, I can't imagine the Philly mob making tens of millions of dollars. 3/4 of the members struggle financially, any idea how much the Philly "gang" brings in annually?

He's still in Florida and has no plans of returning.

Which leads me to believe that he is NOT the boss...and he'll return because he'll wear his welcome out in FL. His wife in Philly? She's a nip, isn't she?

Nip? Really? Sucked a few cocks? Dino, you trying to set the record for most jerkoff posts in a reel or what.

Ralphie Ciferreto: is there any point in asking HOW you know Merlinos thoughts or intentions?

I didn't think so.

You do realize this has been reported by several reliable sources over and over again. I sometimes wonder if you're heavily medicated.

Not at all. But when a guy is caught in her bedroom wearing his underwear with no explanation for being in his underwear, that smells like bad tuna, no? His wife is Korean, right? In the jungles of Nam, American soldiers referred to the enemy as nips.

Sonny is one of the guys here who talks sense.

Joey never owned the restaurant, at least not the building. It was leased space.

No, Nip is a derogatory term for the Japanese dating to ww2. From Nippon.

In Vietnam and Korea the common racial slurs were gook, or dink.

Feel free to be a racist and use racist terminology, but at least get the terminology correct. It's much more effective that way.

OK clown.

You are correct on the slurs. Just shows how stupid dino and his rants are.

How can he run a crime family if he can't even run a restaurant ??

the guy is a joke and if me and my young friends were ever in his time era.. we would of eaten them alive ..no no no not just me an my friends.. almost anyone would man haldle and bitch slap and feminize these guys and bear them as queer prostituties.. Half these guys couldn't make jv high school football team.... no one of any skill level ever shot back at him.. if so he would never of been heard of.. joey should of wrote a half fictional biography while he had the chance.... look at how greedy he is.. bentlys rr Mercedes none of the other guys are that flashy not even close..

I 2nd that strongly..idiots in this world everywhere.

Marine, you go in the service before or after Clintons don't ask don't tell policy?

Guess not he knew it would Wind up owned by the federal government .
