The Genovese are the only family active in every single one of those places to some degree and are certainly the most powerful overall, I can't speak for therest but for The Bronx it goes Genovese,Luchese,Gambino,Bonnano, with the latter having largely diminished, I'd also like to add that the peckin order is likely the same in the northern suburbs like Westchester but without the Bonnanos altogether Agree
Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife?
Sal Vitale: (laughs) Tommy, jump in, the water's fine.

1. Gambino...powerbase of fam. is currently Brooklyn.
2. Bronx - Luchese...toss up here between Luchese and Genovese. Bonnano crew all but gone. I'd listen to any arguments.
3. Queens - Genovese...Romanello and Tough Tony have had a strangle hold on the Corona area for some time. 10 years ago I woulda said Bonnano.
4. Manhattan - Genovese. Still some rackets in the Village and West Side, plus whatever's left on upper east side/harlem (which isn't much).
5.Staten Island - Bonnano...Last acting commission was SI based. Gerry Chili too. Vinny TV, TG...all homes on SI. Lots of sports books and vig with their name on it.
6. Long Island - Colombo...Tough to say for LI, but Tommy Shot's crew was a Long Island crime wave. Joe Waverly had business here too. Farmingdale/North Massapequa area...all Colombo. Although the most recent garbage guy to go down on LI was a Gambino made guy...young, too.
7. North JerseyGenovese...no question here.
8. AC - ??? Have no basis to venture a guess.
9. Conn..Gambino - Zeke.
10. Genovese...Springfield Crew. Genovese Queens? Thats one of the ones id argue against westside being dominant. Gambinos got 3 crwws in HB alone! Long Island Colombo? You ever been to long island? Just bc most colombo/bonanno guys live there doesnt mean shit. SI either. Westside and Gambinos share BK, QNs, SI, & LI. Westside runs the rest. Tony megale and Funzi be damned. Westside guys and philly guys are in AC. Never heard of Decav guys....

According to ivy's list they have a presence in the Bronx. No, they might have a couple guys here but it's not enough to be considered a presence. Even back when the mob was strong here, the Colombos didn't have a single social club in the entire borough. And that's a fact. But I do agree that a couple of individuals have had partnerships with some guys from the other families here. For instance, Richie Fusco was pretty tight with Greg DePalma. They were partnered at the old Westchester Premier Theatre, and much later they had a joint together over on Boston Road, near the Pelham line.

I'm sure that's how it is all over NY, you have some businesses or whatever under control of just one family, then you have some that families have arrangements with eachother on. Makes more sense to work together to make more money than it does fighting with each other on businesses. Kind of gives them that "I do this for you, you owe me this down the road" leverage.

For instance, Richie Fusco was pretty tight with Greg DePalma. They were partnered at the old Westchester Premier Theatre, and much later they had a joint together over on Boston Road, near the Pelham line. Was that the Crazy Horse? No, but back in the early '90s, Greg's son, Craig, had a club at the same location as the Crazy Horse. At that time it was called Pretty Woman. Prior to that it was an Italian restaurant called The Pine Tree (not to be confused with the Pine Tavern) for years and years. Today the owners aren't even Italian, let alone LCN connected. Craig was partners in that club with Fat Pete, who eventually ratted. Pete's the guy who introduced Greg to "Jack Garcia." When Garcia wrote about it in his book he changed Pete's name and the name of the club. I'm not sure why because, even if you didn't know him, it's all a matter of public record anyway. Pete's another cooperating witness who's living out in the open. I won't post where, but everyone pretty much knows (hey, at least he's not blogging like that Kenji, or living the high life on South Beach like that piece of shit Paciello). Greg and Craig are dead. Junior Gotti's out of the life. So truth be told, Pete really doesn't have too much to worry about anyway.
