    My girlfriend and I spent the last week vacationing in NYC, out of a hotel on Allen Street in Lower Manhattan. We were around the corner from the site of the former Toyland Social Club on Hester Street, and a short walk from both Knickerbocker Village (Monroe and Madison Street) and Little Italy. Even today, it’s not hard to imagine gangsters like Lefty, Tony Mira, Joey Massino and Nicky Glasses occupying street corners in that neighborhood - it has kept much of its authenticity (despite being in the middle of Chinatown). Thanks for a great video on an infamous mobster, Jeff. Awesome content as usual. Best from the Netherlands

    Tony Mirra reminds me of what I’ve read about Johnny Ringo the old west gun fighter. He had a void in his soul, he could never steal or kill enough to fill it, it was revenge, and it was revenge for being born. He finally committed suicide. Mirra was a psychopath too.
