Vario had a large crew and after the mid 60s it's sphere included Queens/Ozone Park and it's proximity to JFK. But Paulie's main base was in East New York, Brooklyn on the BK/Queens Border. He also had a presence in Canarsie and all areas in between. When Henry Hill first got involved Paulie's base was on Pitkin Avenue between Pine and Crescent street which is smack dab on the BK/Queens border. Paulie was centered there with his crew stretched out to the East in Ozone Park and even Long Island and also to the West like Canarsie and Flatbush.
