John's of 12th Street - The True Story of the Italian Mafia in New York

Just 2 short blocks from where Lucky Luciano grew up in the East Village is a storied restaurant immortalized in both Boardwalk Empire and The Soprano’s: John’s of 12th Street. A couple of unlucky fellas had their last meals here. John’s was a prominent speakeasy during Prohibition making wine and whiskey in their basement and serving them in espresso cups in case of a raid. Opened in 1908 this was a red sauce and wine joint that exuded the type of old world Italian charm that tended to attract wiseguys.
