Rise and Fall of the American Mafia Walking Tour
1:00 PM (Premingle)
1:30 PM: Tour Begins
Join us as the city comes alive to learn
about The Rise and Fall of the American Mafia. This tour focuses mostly
on the 20th century arc of Organized Crime in America, specifically
anchored by the Five Families of New York. A secret society that began
in the 1900’s, expanded massively in the 1920’s, got organized and
flourished from the 30’s through the 50’s and experienced a slow and
ugly decline through the last decades of the century. This premium tour
goes from the East Village down to Little Italy and tells the tale of
Lucky Luciano’s ruthless rise to power, his affiliation with other
notorious criminals such as Carlo Gambino, Vito Genovese and Meyer
Lansky. The tour stops outside the tenements, cafés, restaurants,
social clubs, funeral homes and even alleyways where it all happened, in
an epic tale that spans 100 years and across the Atlantic and back while
never leaving the vibrant streets of New York.
