"A Guide to Gangsters, Murderers & Weirdos of NYC's Lower East Side"
(ISBN: 978.1.59629.677.0), has been published by The History Press.



This book is a street by street reference guide which examines the early lives of such infamous criminals as Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, and Meyer Lansky -- all of whom grew up (and earned their criminal stripes) on the Lower East Side. It also traces 200 years of gang fights, political brawls, domestic violence, natural disasters, assassinations, extortion, Black Hand bombings, organized crime, the Mafia, the Jewish mob, labor struggles, domestic terrorists, biker gangs, fires, police raids, riots, suicides, snake bites, swindlers, zoo animals, and even a cannibal.

Written by a crime researcher and fourth generation Sicilian-American-New Yorker.

Check it out!

Thanks for the link Eric, i'm ganna put this on my list of books to get..


The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

"What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"

Welcome, Eric! smile

Is that Dopey Benny Fein in the upper left hand photo? And Butch Cassidy in the lower right?


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

Well I can't say for sure if that one photo is Dopey Benny, but the other one is without a doubt Butch Cassidy.

I just bought a "Ghoombas guide to life" by Steve Schirripa.

It's a great book too.
