Begins 11:00AM Why join our experience? We LIVED this firsthand. We are Born and raised in Little Italy or worked in the area as NYPD Officers. We go to places the tour companies don't know exist and see things often missed while meeting locals along the way. I will appear in the Prime Video documentary "Life After Goodfellas” release to be on 35th anniversary of the film. Start with Behind the scenes at John's of 12th Street restaurant with spaghetti tasing finish with Italian pastry at local shop Est 1931. This is a NYC Mafia experience from a true “insider’s perspective” of the East Village NYC mafia & Crime history as well as local Gang history. Starting with private VIP tasting at a famous Mafia "Red Sauce Joint" seen in Soprano's "Life After Goodfellas" & "Get Gotti" this experience starts in the East Village, ends in Little Italy, we visit notorious Mafia & Crime locations, share true crime stories and crime locations in the neighborhood including gang history & locations.

Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Mafia Walk in NYC? Is it a lot of walking?

A: I’d recommend wearing comfortable shoes since there’s a decent amount of walking involved, especially in the East Village and Little Italy. Layers are a good idea, too, since it can get chilly near the water or if you’re out in the shade. You might want to dress a little nicer for the restaurant since it's a cool spot with good vibes!

Q: Is this tour appropriate for kids? My daughter is 12 and loves true crime stuff.

A: Yes, the Mafia Walk is generally suitable for kids, especially if they’re into true crime. The guides focus on the historical aspects and stories rather than anything too graphic. Just make sure she understands the context behind some of the stories, and I bet she’ll have a blast!

Q: What if it rains? Will the tour still happen?

A: The tour operates in all weather, so rain or shine, you’re good to go! Just make sure to bring an umbrella or a raincoat if the forecast looks sketchy. They’ve got some great indoor spots planned too, so it’ll still be fun!

Just did the Mafia Walk and it was incredible!

I went on the True Crime NYC Mafia Walk last week, and wow, it did not disappoint! Starting at John's of 12th Street for a VIP pasta tasting was such a cool touch. The retired NYPD detective leading the tour had amazing stories about Little Italy and its mafia history. We even got the best cannoli I've ever had! If you're thinking of gifting this experience, DO IT. Perfect mix of history and great food. Can't recommend it enough!

Considering the Mafia Walk as a gift for my husband

My husband loves everything true crime and Italian food, so this Mafia Walk seems like a perfect birthday gift! I just want to know if it can be done on weekends or if it's more limited to weekdays. I want to make sure he gets the full experience! Anyone done it recently? Would love to hear your thoughts!
