Here's a virtual tour of four real-life locations from the Nicholas Pileggi book, Wiseguy amzn.to/3smUqcJ
These locations were later recreated in the 1990 Scorsese classic, Goodfellas amzn.to/3bxC027
For more info on these locations, check out my post on where everything really happened according to Henry Hill imayroam.com/2021/01/25/goodf...

I found an archived Wall Street Journal article ( www.wsj.com/articles/larry-king-on-his-path-from-brooklyn-to-beverly-hills-1464792203 ) that stated the King family lived on Howard Ave in Brooklyn until Larry was 9 years old, at which point his dad tragically passed away and his mom moved the family to Bensonhurst. Looking on a map, it appears that the street address on Howard was located in the Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn just north of Brownsville.
