There’s nowhere else in the world with Mob history like New York City, and in this episode, we’re gonna get into all of it. Like why the places with the best meatballs in this city are also the places where the red sauce wasn’t always tomatoes. How some of the most iconic New York spots have mob fingerprints all over them. And of course, why the mob stories that have become America’s great modern myth could have only happened in NYC. Leave the gun. Take the cannolis. And let’s get started.
