I don't know about today but when I lived in the falls between 93 and 99 (Went to NU) there were players that hung around Pine Ave. The Cuomo was always a hot spot and Lefty's at the corner of Hyde and Pine. There was a guy at the dart shop that made book and was into girls / porn. There was a candy store on main street that took heavy action and old timers that were heavily involved with the democratic party. As a student I worked for a monument company and they would clean Maggadino's headstone for free out of respect.
Padrone,While visiting NY a couple years ago, we ate at the COMO just for the nostalgia. It used to be a super good place but this time the food was mediocre. There were a few guys in there that looked as though they might be "The boys".
There are a number of good places on Pine Ave.
