My wife and I are trying to make a trip to NYC next spring. This will be my first time to visit. I want to do some of the typical tourist stuff my first trip, but I would also like to get out and see some of the old mob locations if I have time. Some places I was thinking about:

1. Roy Demeo's Gemini Lounge
2. Gotti's Ravenite
3. Gotti's Bergen Hunt and Fish
4. Gigante's Triangle Social Club on Sullivan St.
5. Spark's Steakhouse where Big Paul got whacked

Now I realize those are spread out all over the city. How viable would it be to visit all those places as far as transportation, safety of the area, etc... Are there other locations you guys would add?

Save your time, they are all gone except for Sparks and quiet frankly there are better steaks in the city.

Gemini is a church of some sort.
Ravenite is a shoe store last I heard.
Bergin is gone
Triangle is a high-end tea shop.

Here is a map I put together but azguy is right, most of it is gone now.

Dont waste your time jenkins. Theres nothing to see. If you feel you must get close to wiseguys or something go to someplace nice to eat. Go to Parkside or Bamontes, or Areo, or Marco Polo or Lucalis or Matteos or ruggieros in HB. All are frequented by guys. You probly wont recognize any of them or be able to tell the difference between them and local guys but its better than going around the city looking at empty storefronts. Your wife will probly enjoy it more also

But guys, I realize they are all gone. I realize they are empty storefronts today. But not to me. I figured you guys of all people would understand. It's the history behind these places. It might be a coffee shop today, but at one time it was where Genovese capos came to meet the Chin. It might be a pet store today, but at one time it was where John Gotti planned his takeover of the Gambino family by taking out Big Paul. You get the idea. I don't care what they are today, I want to see where history happened.

Try 115 Madison Street which is just southeast of little Italy near the manhattan bridge. It was Lefty Ruggieros club. Across the street at 116 Madison was the Holiday Bar which was owned by Tony Mirra (I believe). Also, the apartment complex right behind Madison street on Monroe street is called knickerbocker village and is where ruggiero, mirra and Richard cantarella grew up. Cantarella ran the New York Post distribution center, also in that area.

While your there, might as well check out the old Fulton Fish Market, a few blocks away.
