Description
Trace the steps of notorious Jewish gangsters like Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel on a private Lower East Side walking tour. Visit former haunts, shootout sites, and Prohibition-era speakeasies.
From the slums of the Jewish ghetto in New York City rose the most powerful underworld mob figures that America had ever seen. Men like Meyer Lansky, Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel, Arnold Rothstein and Louis Buchalter — to name a very few — honed their criminal skills in the back alleys, gambling dens and crowded, vice-ridden streets of the Lower East Side.
This one-of-a-kind walking tour traces the very steps of these notorious gangsters from childhood, as well as the men (and women) who came before them, paving the way for a National Crime Syndicate.
Visited on tour:
- Former homes and haunts of infamous gangsters
- Locations of shootouts and rubouts
- Sites of brothels, club houses, jails, and gambling parlors
- Prohibition-era warehouses, speakeasies and trading markets
- And much more!
Discussed on tour:
- The rise of the Jewish gangster in America
- How crime was organized in the slums of New York City
- Efforts to curb gangsterism from within the Jewish community
- The Jewish mob's interaction with the Italian Mafia and other ethnic gangs
- The immigrant experience, and life in America's first and foremost ghetto
