The ‘Kosher’ Nostra: Jewish Gangsters of the Lower East Side Walking Tour

Hosted By: The Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy (LESJC)

The Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy presents a walking tour exploring the early lives of Arnold Rothstein, Meir Lansky, and Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, whose paths from local gangs and gambling dens led to national crime empires stretching to Atlantic City, Miami, Cuba, and Las Vegas. Their stories raise enduring questions of morality, power, and assimilation rooted in the neighborhood where they came of age. The tour visits the old haunts of Murder Inc., the Mafia, and the federal agents who pursued them.
