Overview

In 1920, the United States enforced the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which banned liquor production, public consumption and the selling of anything alcoholic. This catapulted the criminal world and helped the gangsters monopolize and grow their illegal business of alcohol. It made some of the most vicious gangsters gain fortune and fame. Illegal bars known as speakeasies opened by the tens of thousands all over the country and served bootleg liquor to the thirsty public. When something is illegal it creates an underworld that will stop at nothing. On this tour you will walk in the footsteps of the gangsters and visit some of the watering holes that served illegal liquor during Prohibition. While sipping on your now "legal" alcoholic beverage you will hear stories of the Mafia and how it infiltrated into society. At the end of the tour you will be a "wiseguy" about prohibition and the mob.

We went on this tour more interested in the mob and gangster elements than the pub crawl as we weren’t really up for drinking at 10am in the morning even when on holiday! The tour guide did a good job with the history of prohibition and mobs and gangs but you really need to be interested in doing the pub crawl part to get the full experience. No drinks are included in this tour you need to additionally purchase.

Visits to 4 genuine speakeasies which are still operating as bars today, 2 with bartenders with attitude and stories to tell, one with good pizza and the last made famous by Sex in the City. A good way to see Nolita and Little Italy, but a bit light on gangster stories. Be aware, NO beverages/food are included in the price....you pay in each venue.
