i dont know any social clubs besides the genovese ones in Corona Queens and down on Cherry Street in an unused commercial space in Knickerbocker Village in the city . not sure if they are even open anymore. for a while i was driving by KV on my morning commute to work and would see the door open with guys inside and right out on the sidewalk, no matter what time of morning, rain or shine. i passed by at 6:30 one morning and they were there. looks like a bunch of old retirees playing cards. if you do a google street view of the Parkside Restarurant in Corona, about a half block north i believe, you'll see the guy Rom talking to a kid on the street. the google images car caught em lol. i havent been on that block for 3 years so idk if the club is even open...im guessing not

im sure there are a good number of clubs still around in brooklyn and other parts of queens where old timers hang out, play cards, and commiserate about how the neighborhood has changed and the money has dried up..lol.

a sure-shot hangout or meeting places more than anywhere for wiseguys are diners. any indictment or bust in the last 10 years you'll hear about guys meeting in diners. places like the vegas diner in BK that closed, the esquire in Queens. georgia diner in Queens, etc... little places they can buy one cup of coffee at and sit for hours lol. every time ive been to the esquire or lennys on crossbay blvd it looked like the place was stocked with mobsters. its also funny how back in the "golden era" of OC wiseguys had reputations for being sharp dressers. the guys today look like bums...old mis matching sweatsuits, NY sports team apparel, those white nike air monarchs that only geriatrics wear..seems to be the uniform
