Visitor and native New Yorker alike will enjoy Robin London's 2-l/2 hour walking tour of Little Italy, Chinatown and Five Points, revksiting The Big Apple's colorful gangster past.
Robin is a vast storehouse of the history of the origin of the gangsters of New York--from Joseph Masssaria, Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano, Arnold Rothstein, Albert Anastasia, Joseph Colombo, Joe Gallo, Paul Costellano, Carlo Gambino and John Gotti, among others. She relates dozens of colorful anecdotes and bits of trivia about the lives--and deaths--of the mob bosses whose names you know from "Mean Streets," "Goodfellas," "The Godfather," "Donnie Brasco," "Boardwalk Empire," and other movies and TV shows you're familiar with. Make sure you wear your walking shoes...and be prepared for a three hour experience--even though the tour is billed as a 2-l/2 hour one. Robin is more interested in sharing her knowledge and answering questions than in making sure she restricts her time! A highly recommended, fun experience in NYC>
