A bloody romp through the history of the Irish Mob in New York, from the Gophers to the Westies
For most people, the Irish Mob conjures up images of old James Cagney movies. Like this one here. But Irish organized crime was a going concern in New York City, at least until the vicious gang known as the Westies was broken up by law enforcement in the late 80's. Although the onetime Irish enclave of Hell's Kitchen has become an upscale foodie mecca, most of the places where the gangs lived, killed, and in some cases, dismembered their victims, are still standing. Join me for this bloody tour through the rich and lurid history of Manhattan's West Side.
About a 1. 5 mile walk through Hell's Kitchen, covering key locations in the long history of the Irish Mob in the neighborhood.
Meeting Point Options: Rail or Bus Station, Cruise Ship Port, Airport, Hotel, Address or Intersection, Monument/Building, Suggested by Guide: 11 Times Square, at the South East corner of 42nd Street and 8th Avenue.
Add one hour for airport pick-ups and shore excursions.

Other: One amazing and very unique tour that isn't offered by any other guide in New York.

Other: This is a walking tour, but transportation by private car can be arranged upon request, including for shore excursions. Please message me to set up a custom tour should a car be required for your group.
