of course they are much less strong than they used to be in the past but being the biggest priority in some areas it means they are the strongest there i don't think fbi would be so interested in going after them if they were a bunch of nobody like you claim
the mafia are most certainly near the top of the criminal underworld in new york but it depends on your definition of top. in terms of controling territory by force, then definatly not. if you mean connections and behind the scenes controling and extorting companies and corruption at the local level, then yes. its all subjective.

It's either blue cheese with wings or go fuck yer mudda!
