Just to make clear, when I said that Rava was Dyker Heights based I meant that he frequented the area due to his restaurant being located there. He could very well have been born and raised elsewhere in Brooklyn. When he got married, he and his wife lived at 662 4th Avenue, which is further up north close to South Brooklyn area. When he was indicted in 1940 for being part of a bootleg alcohol manufacturing and distributing ring, his home was at 1444 68th Street. (The alleged ring leader btw was Mauro Manna, Bobby Manna´s father.)
Yes yes i understand,i thought i read that he was raised somewhere near the dock or south brooklyn,its all teal close.But your right he was somewhere from BK.Also Albert A had a bar or a club somewhere on 4th or 5th ave,i found it somewhere cant remnember bu i'll check.
