I worked in this area around 1977. I remember walking by Robert's Lounge, and wondering who would want to enter such a dirty, sleezy looking bar. Occasionally, there would be one or two nasty looking guys hanging out front, who gave passers by dirty looks. At the time, I did not know that it was a Mafia hangout.

Wow these are legendary stories youd here on the street growing up in Queens...exactly what kept you very respectful in your daily activities because yes one wrong wiseass move could have gotten you trunked

Love this mob stuff especially from the streets of New York awesome content Mooney not to hard to find something to show in a historic city.love it.

Its years later now and I have been in this area before years ago.. I'm far away now.. I wish I could go back one more time. Your Videos are my way back in to the past Thank you...

Another amazing video, keep it up! Love from Yorkshire U.K

Thanks again brilliant videos. Been looking for something like this for years. Thanks for sharing 👍

"Tommy never had the makings of a varsity athlete" "Small hands was the problem" 🤣😅😂

I love your channel! Thank you!

Just came across your channel and it’s my new favorite! So much stuff, so much drama came out of Queens and Brooklyn! And your telling of events is spot on and so interesting, I’m going thru all the videos now. I’m a former New Yorker, been through all the boroughs, and find all these back stories of the mob fascinating, also must say some things really scared me, hard to think that these people involved were so ruthless and could kill or be killed without so much as a care in the world. Anyway, I commend you for digging up all this stuff and presenting such interesting videos!

Another great video . One of the best channels on KZfaq!!!!

This is where I grew up a few blocks away.loved growing up there.lot of good people lived there

Wow Bring back memories growing up in that side of Queens, NY. You forgot 101st Avenue Ozone Park .

I walked and drove by this place many times and never knew the history about the bar, thanks for the cool video as well a history lesson! 👍😎

I really like your narration style. Also the dash cam concept and your knowledge of the given topic. Good deal.

9:10 That Key Food has been there since at least the early 1970s. My grandparents were on 114th Street near Aqueduct. As much as I thought I knew about Goodellas, I did not know about Robert's Lounge. Thanks!

Great video! Loved hearing the back story to the characters from Goodfellas. I heard the movie doesn’t come close to showing how many murders those guys were really responsible for. Especially Jimmy and Tommy

good video you can tell that you do put time and effort into all of your videos.im all over the island and learn something I didn't know in almost almost all the videos i watch from you

Another killer video Mooney!

New Yorkers will double park on any block! There’s more tire shops than Churches an Liquor store.😂😂😂

Mooney. Loving the videos bro.

Love your videos. Love the sound of your truck, and your crazy dad and uncle did a live stream driving your truck, I hope you get it back in one piece and Uncle Stunt does not get behind the wheel. Your videos are so interesting to folks that live in blips on a map like Lansing, MI like me. I could do a dash cam around here and show where Ransom Olds drove the first Oldsmobile and where they made the anthrax vaccine, when we thought that was a scary thing at the time, Covid said hold my beer. Thats about it around here, I could show Emil’s, the now closed Italian restaurant where Al Capone stopped on his way from Chicago to Detroit. I could show the corn fields that you see as you drive a few miles out of the city. Keep the videos coming and stay safe

this is very INTERESTING,,,, GOOD WORK, EXCELLENT WORK.

Best videos!! Keep them coming :)

Thanks for the Tour, greetings from U.K!

"No Karen..it's in there...just go right in there, pick out whatever you want....." Oof.

Love the mob stories neat history lessons 👍

Another good one Mooney thanks 4 the ride

Over here in Scotland mid sopranos binge and found your channel, awesome stuff man

This is fascinating,thanks!

The lounge was nicknamed the Sinatra club... very important, there is a very very good book. The author was the owner, Sal Polisi aka Sally Ubatz. A Columbo soldier, originally a stand up dude turned informant. He explains alot of this in extreme detail.

Mooney dash cam. Thanks for the cool video. Sorry I misunderstood something bro. Keep up the cool videos.

Hey. Chicago here. This on site history if the mob and other things is fascinating. Keep it up Dash Cam.

One of my cousins drove me by this place back in the 90s right after the movie came out, and laid on some of the creepy BS that might've been in the book, but didn't find it's way into the film...I think it was a restaurant by then too, but can't remember what...Like the old Gemini Lounge over in Brooklyn, this is another infamous mob "Kill Zone" that has a whole lot of murderous lore attached to it... I think there had been quite a few actually disposed of there, but Jimmy Burke was smart about it, and whatever was rumored to have gone on there and wound up getting planted there for a while, didn't stay there...It was also rumored that Theresa Ferraro might've been killed by either Tommy DeSimone or by Jimmy Burke shortly after the Lufthansa Heist because she was believed to be an FBI informant... Her torso was found floating near Barnegat Bay Inlet after she had been reported as missing in early 1979...

Nice video with great narration. The sound of your car adds to the ambience.....l picture an old Monte Carlo from that era.

Grew up a few blocks away, I remember going to this bar with my Dad in the early 70's many times. They would serve me Shirley Temples while my Dad did whatever he was doing...we wont go there..lol. I also remember playing hopscotch on the Bocci court when I would get bored inside..

Man, was this FUN!! Looks like a rather pleasant residential neighborhood for all the violent actvity that went on there. "Goodfellas" was one of my all-time favorite films. That guy Remo you'd mentioned; wasn't he the pain-in-the-ass compulsive gambler who owned the men's wig shop (Maury's Wigs) and drove everyone nuts? I remember Michael Imperioli played Spider, and I'd thought Spider was kind of intellectually slow which made him easy fodder for the guys to rib. "Take him ta Ben Casey!" Tommy yells after he shoots off Spider's foot! Tommy, OY!! Talk about psychotic!! 😲😲😲

I just subscribed e to you love this thanks for posting

New York mafia shenanigans is legendary. But for the average guy, it didn’t matter. For the most part, if you weren’t a threat to them, they left you alone. Most of us weren’t even on their radar. Thanks man, another great history lesson!

Must be strange owning a business in that building now if you knew what used to be there and went on.

Great video, thanks for the research......

Another great one Mooney! Love the look at these old mick and guinea neighborhoods today, they look so much different than they did back then. Oh the memories,thanks for the great vids bro!

I really enjoy your videos, thank you. Was there an actual Morries Wig Shop? If so, any idea about where it was?

Mooney you should start a tour company. Guys like me would pay a lot of money for the privilege of just rolling around New York with you at the wheel. I'd love to see it, but I don't wanna drive, I wanna rubberneck around.

Ozone Park home sweet home 🏡

good shit mooney

Love anything to do with the mafia so thank you. This video was cool.

Hi Mooney, love your videos...could you do one of Howard Beach, for Gotti sr, John Carneglia, and John Favara's?

I wish when you show locations you would have it on camera a lttle bit longer. Love your channel.

Great video

Great videos

My friend was friends with Tommy Desimones sister she told me she knew all of them .. unfortunately she recently passed a couple of years

The birthplace of the "SHINE BOX"

We used to live on 90th Ave and 77th St in Queens just off Jamaica Ave. I remember when they were filming Goodfellas at Neirs Tavern around the corner. It was summertime I think and they made it look like winter by shoveling crushed ice everywhere.

Oh my god I hope you show more of this area

What am I a f'ing mirage here spider? I asked for a drink.

Great video. Awesome story and facts. What ever happened to these guys? I know Henry Hill went to witness protection but did the others gets killed? I wonder if there are more house of horrors?

Henry hill own the suite on queens blvd.

Store owners receiving stolen property? Why am I not surprised? Nice job Mooney.

Lived there decades ago, neighbor was allegedly part of the mob, while not advocating or saying the mob was “good people”, I can say neighborhood crime and quality of life issues were rare. The neighborhood took a real nose dive once they left. Now single family homes are subdivided into 3-4 illegal units. No street parking, drugs, loud music, speeding cars. Terrible.

Brother another great vid ! Ya I remember reading about Remo in Wiseguy he was like Jimmy's best friend but he fu@ked Jimmy didn't care you fu@k up you're going Thanks again stay healthy stay safe 🙏

I got flashbacks.... Mom ....Mr. Softy

So much history in my own neighborhood amazing.

That was quite interesting. 👍🏻

Good stuff man, love it. So to be clear, the now Jamaican place is the site of Burke's bar? Thanks for doing these videos, I do quite a few myself, love the drive arounds.

Thanks

Thank you dude great video 👌👍 that's a great story about desimone walking into a bar and people slowly leaving . Scary dude . He was a kid he died in his late 20s .. also love the burke story of him cementing the basement . When you make that Uturn I thought many days and nights they were there planning the luftansa heist .. and imagine after that heist . All those blocks your are driving around are filled with all types of police and feds watching that one bar lol .. great stuff my friend glad I'm subscribed .

Cool channel! Subscribed 👍

RALPH MACCHIO IS THE VOICE BEHIND THE CAMERA!!!

If a Jamaican food joint is successful there, then fixed up and called Roberts Lounge, an Italian restaurant would make a killing there. Pun intended.

Excellent background information.

Great video. If I am ever in NY I am going to visit that Jamaican restaurant and just reminisce.

Went to John Adams 86 thru 90 ,those were the good days ,grew up in OHB

The town looks old but clean as hell. Don't see any Graffiti at all !!!! Nice tour...

I am always thinking what everything would look like in say 1982....oh man imagine a tape was found of someone doing like this but1982...I love watching these brother you explain the history and the guys biographies really good and knowledgeable RESPECTS!!!

I grew up 3 blocks from there. Very interesting.

Cool video once again! but why did you delete kings point vid? I missed it dang it lol

Passed by there 100’s of times on my way to the race track...he must have hung out there as well.

My dad was from Ozone Park. He was born before WW2. It sounded like a very crooked neighborhood from his stories. He said they would sell you gasoline mixed with water at the gas stations.

Used to live there . Deff feel the Italian mafia influences now that i think of it .XD

The neighborhood has completely changed since the 80's and 90's

Enjoyed the vid, just a little bit of info, Batts was killed at Henry Hill's place on Queens Blvd.

Spider that bandage is bigger then your friggin head... Mooney dash.. you have good, interesting content, thank you.

Damn bro u shed a great deal of light to me from good fellas film I love that movie...i always wondered why Tommy was killed .....so whats the back drop on why burke Robert Deniro character and Henry Hill character by Ray Liotta why they were not killed only Tommy for the made guy at bar he allegedly beat with gun in movie they had in trunk

Really weird to see the streets i drive down everyday in the third person for some reason, even weirder to now know the dark history. Like that spot is right around the corner from me. Interesting stuff

Would be really cool to actually walk in to some of these places and film.

A mature Joe Pesci played the role, but fate caught Thomas DeSimone early - was disappeared by age 29.

You should film inside that establishment, that would be neato

I wish I could go back to the time you recorded this,doing so well, but my fiance and I ugh, it was rough, split by Dec,then back again, finally July 21, done. She passed Nov .05, 41 yo,one month since bday.cv 19. Despite what was going on, we always got back together.

After all the murders and bodies buried in there, how is that place still open let alone serving food to the public?

Great content!!!! He needs to slow down the visuals & show these places longer.

I don’t know why but this stuff is fascinating. I’d love to visit all these places knowing the mob used to hang out there and the things that went down. They’re historical locations. A bygone era.

Ahhh the good old days when ozone park was safe

Yo moon. You got and vids on Roy demeo locations

I think my Dad has the piano from this place. it was an upright piano. My Mom and Dad saw it on the street; it was in bad shape and my Dad took it apart. He intended to use the strings to make some kind of harp. [It didn't work.] I don't know if he still has it.

*You should start driving tours (with actual passengers) and call it "Goodfella's Mafia Tours". hehe. If you do, I'm expecting 'a cut' for giving you the idea! You can bring me on as a "consultant", Haha*

very good video

Looks like a lovely area

Oh my old area I use to live at the time Henry hill was around. I remember those guys.

It would be so much more interesting if you named the streets and intersections you are aproching and driving on. How about a few land marks as you ride along. Thank you,interesting video. Bty,I don't remember the year but the bar changed its name to The Lefferts bar? I reckon.

Romeos Pizza is now a fried chicken joint
