About this Event
Step into the world of New York’s true-crime history on a private Mafia & Crime Walking Tour led by a retired NYPD detective.
Explore the East Village, Bowery, and Little Italy while hearing real stories of mob legends, organized crime, crooked cops, and the detective’s own experiences working the streets of New York.
This is not a scripted history tour — it’s a private, local experience told by someone who lived it.
