Martarano's is good. Big portions but way to fucking loud. I have never been to Tramonti. I will check it out in Feb. Thanks for the rec PB.

What kind of music does he play in the restaurant..A mix of different genres?

Why always the non-sequitur, ugly remarks about the Irish, PB? Hell did we do??

And the Brits, French, German, Eastern Europeans & Scandinavians have the same complexion as us!

Not everyone can look like Fabio!

It's not stop Rat Pack, Oldies and Disco. And there are constant mob movies on the big screens. And the music and movies are on at the same time, so you can hardly hear one over the other. And when you throw in a clientele that's better suited for one of the beach bars, it's just tough to take. It's a total gimmick. But the food is honestly very good.

Because I said that the Irish tend to be fair skinned? That's an ugly remark? Come on, Moe.

Thanks for the reply PB...From the clip i seen on here, he seems like a Thoro guy who would have your back a thousand fold. I don't know him from adam, but whether he talks or acts a certain way doesn't make him a bad guy.

No problem, buddy.

PB: Not for nothing but shitheads will find fault in everthing...

Good to see you back, Serp .

Yeah Serp!! Meatballs and Martinis and a shot of Crown with Tommy...lol

Thanks everyone ,it has been a busy few months . Should have some free time to chat.

I herd a while back that Skinny sent word back to keep everything to a low roar,This is a pretty reliable source, i guess it was true.

But i would think things are going to get very interesting soon..

Talk soon ...

Dante: We could be in some trouble on thursdays ,you know what i mean...
And Eddie Ace is back in town ,could be fun .Let me know when..

Serp: Who in AC is Skinny sending word to keep everything very quiet? If you don't want to put it up here, feel free to PM me. I will share with you what I heard as well...

As a remarkably fair skinned Irish kid, I am calling for PB's gangsterbb resignation. :-)

check PM ,not sending anything ,just word from old friends..

Good luck with that .

PB- did you ever check your inbox?

Sal

Just now, buddy. I'm sorry about that. You know I have my hands full here. I'll get back to you later tonight and explain. Probably offsite, though .

Sure thing, we need to have a sit in a Bensonhurst basement, you and 2 of your buddies who are trying to make the move.

No guns. Just go down the dark steps and turn right.

And don't forget the sunscreen. The Irishman's special blend. Coppertone Number One Thousand .

PB-

My Email has changed . Its exactly the same except its @Comcast. net Instead of att.net

This whole thing with merlino and all those pictures are bizarre to say the least. A mob guy on instagram ??? Fuckin weird .
NYC is big on a how a made guy carries himself, no way would they tolerate one of their own dressed up on a mummers parade. I know its tradition in philly but still... Scarfo would of never allowed his main guys to partake in that.
Maybe someone can ask Leonetti about that.
The whole philly scene is strange. Im really starting to think this guy is trying to be a celebrity and can care less about crime. If he was, he would be way under the radar.
Look at all the ny guys, they are as low key as low key can be. Its almost embarrassing that he is on instagram . Then again, who the fuck am i to judge, if he's happy, more power to him.

He's following the "Why be a gangster if no one knows it" mantra.

Got it from rap music.

it's just who these people are: a bunch of hoods glorified by their fathers' past...they've been nothing more than that since scarfo sr. was put away

joseph merlino telling people to keep things quiet?
that's remarkably ironic

Just a little bit .

First Merlino runs around in a mummers outfit, then he dances with an umbrella, then he is on twitter and instagram... Whats next for this mob boss?? A tap dancing gig in vegas !

Some of you guys obviously dont get Merlino's angle or what he is doing

minus the cigar bar meetings, which I admit was stupid but for some reason I guess he thought he threw the tail

Also keep in mind after this short stint, He is free to meet with whoever he wants.

Scarfo Sr. love the lime light just as much as these guys...are you serious?

He purposely wanted murders done in broad daylight and in public...instead of making guys disappear.

He is one of the most bloodthirsty bosses of all time, and killed the future of the family in Testa over jealousy

dont give that wack job more credit than he deserves.

@Blackjack: I messaged you across the street yesterday.

Just got it and replied.

Merlino is prolly just having fun and by having an Instagram account and taking goofy pics maybe he's trying to make it seem like he's outta the game.
