New Orleans Mafia Part 1: The Most Dangerous Building Nobody Knows About.

Hello 👋 history 😊👍🍺🍺

I like how the hotel is right next the Central Grocery. Home of the Muffuletta, a very popular sandwich for New Orleans Sicilians.

dont know what that is (muffuletta) but i want 2

Omerta

Phily and Baltimore have some very old areas too.

Every since playing the mafia 3 game a few years back, I've became very interested in Italian American history in the south and the smaller less known crime families. Being an Italian myself from BK NYC, I never knew italians settle outside the northeast or midwest. Great series brotha.

Since you are a historian in the US have you looked into the Nuremberg trials and things like the gayssot law in france or Katyn ?
In germany you can still get in legal trouble if you say the exact same things that Yad Vashem or even Benjamin Netanjahu said about the ww2 timeframe and in german universities this part of history (atleast in the educational part) doesn`t follow the same rules as other parts of history.
I can give a few pointers if you are interested.

Wow! Subscribed & thank you.

Hello, thanks for this history!

Guau Maravilloso! 💯✅🥰🌸 Thank you,

This is the (interesting) history they don't teach you in school.

Nice to have learned something new. Congrats on your channel. Another member of The Blessed Tribe supporting.

Man i use to pass this building all the time never knw it had a history like this

Do you think the new orleans mafia is still around and active???

Did you say 1855 ?

And..?

Too much! Also in this building is Franks, an Italian restaurant that has been open since the 70's and known to be associated with the mob. And their charismatic, sometime doorman/ barker is Johnny Mancuso (same last name as the attacker with the knife in the news clipping ).

You don't know what your talking about buddy .. I hate when ppl go read some Google stuff and then think they know their history... The blank hand in the USA has it's roots in a family that came from Sicily that migrated to Marion Ohio

Are you positive that was Levee street?
There was another street just a couple blocks downriver and a block closer to the river that runs adjacent to the two blocks of the French Market vendors that was notorious for shootings killings and gangs. Was pretty sure that was Levee street but I could easily be wrong. Also the Italian restaurant to the right of 122 is called “Franks” named for Frank Gagaliano whose family has strong ties to Marcelo. How did you miss that!

Very interesting. As a mafia-organized crime history aficionado, I love hearing new and little known stories of the underworld. Especially here in the U.S. Not the same old, rehashed John Gotti tales that every one and their mother already knows about. I look forward to following you as you delve deeper into the history of organized crime.

The "Black Hand" was not a gang, it was a method.

Too much FACE time.

Francesco Domingo death was ruled a Suicide When Asked how he did that to himself a Police Spoke Person said He was "Very Clever"

In Tampa, find Scott Deitche, Cigar City mafia.
In NY you want Robin London.
In New Orleans, Strange True Tours, that's me.

So how do u farm trucks?

Your writing a book ? Your a writer?

Interesting! This was very close to the Gallatin strip, the most dangerous part of the city in the 1840s-50s.
I don't believe the mafia was here yet, or even the Black Hand. Not too many Sicilians yet, either. More 1880s/90s. Black Hand mostly active here in the late 1890s-1910.

Did not know about the Marine Hotel, though--look forward to watching more of your videos.

Tf is a truck farmer

I stayed in the marriot u walked pass. I have interesting history there. Myb1st time seeing the sign say NOLA, i didnt understand it, didnt register. Beautiful city, with some of the most culture rich environments.

The mafia,the drugs,the human trafficing and corruption MUST be STOPPED

Good video.. if you have insomnia

Became La Costa Nostra..Oldest Mafia Family in America, The Carrollo Family......Sylvestro "Silver Dollar Sam" Carrollo.......Compeche?

Carlos Marcello then ran it from 1947 to 1983..when, in Prison he was less Influential..left his Brother Joe in charge. "K.C.".

The "Black-Hand Gang" was a Gang in N.O. in the Early 1900s..."Silver Dollar Sam" was the Leader..then became "La Costa Nostra". "King Creole".

N.O. had its own rules in the Mafia..No Gangster on Earth..or Family Mob Boss could enter the State, much less the City of N.O. without Carrollo's, then Marcello's permission, through the "Head of Family" wanting to come here..even for Mardi Gras Day. This rule was Strictly Enforced in the Mob. "K.C."

Carlo Gambino consulted with Marcello on All major issues involving Mob business...Marcello would be called to meetings in N.Y. "K.C".

La Stella Meeting N.Y., 1966. ( Fact Check ). "K.C."

"Mafia Kingfish".....La. Tomato salesman..$20,000 a year. "Mr Marcello, who are some of your biggest customers?"..."Idk..I'd have to check my ledger'..I sell to supermawkets, grocery staws...fruit stands..sometimes I just stop by to talk..and see how dey dern'..I mean..I don't sell 'em every day.". "K.C".

"Nosaa...I don't know nuttin' about no Organized Crime Syndicate, or Mafia..Never heard of no Mafia'...I'm a Tomato salesman. Carlisle Marcello... "Mafia Kingfish".

Carlos Marcello "Mafia Kingfish".

Eat a Tomato.

Just like those harmless Olive Oil salesman...just trying to feed their families. "Tutti di Capa Tutti". .

Frank Costello..former bus. partner of Joe Kennedy, and later Carlos Marcello...get the connection?

Who did the Kennedys go after when the Mob did Joe K. his favor, and gave J.F.K. the Whitehouse..slimmest margin EVER...Illinois........Chicago Mafia. Frank Costello..and Carlos Marcello..Two fmr. bus. partners of THEIR Father. R.F.K. especially Hated Marcus. Look up Senate Hearings on such, Costello too..fmr. Bootlegging Partner of Joe Kennedy..some people think he got his Sons Assassinated by Osmosis...Check the Facts. After "Prohibition"..one came out with a Legit. Rum Co., and one a Legit. Scotch Co. "K.C."

Especially Hated Marcello......these Cheap Ass phones.
