The Irish Mob of Hell's Kitchen: From the Gophers To the Westies

Location New York City, New York, USA
Experience unavailable

Overview

For most people, the Irish Mob conjures up images of old James Cagney movies, but Irish organized crime was a going concern in New York City for over a century--at least until the vicious gang known as the Westies was broken up by law enforcement in the late 1980s. Although the onetime Irish enclave of Hell’s Kitchen has now become an upscale foodie mecca, most of the places where the gangs lived, killed, and, in some cases, dismembered their victims, are still standing. And we think that’s kinda cool. Join us for this bloody tour through the rich and lurid history of Manhattan’s West Side.
