Secrets of New York:
Prohibition and the Mob
Part 2
Original Airdate:
Tuesday, August 2, 2011
In the 20s, when every illegal bar in Manhattan was making
payoffs just to stay open, criminal enterprise became Organized
Crime. On the surface the best speakeasies, like the 21 Club,
glittered with patrons willing to pay as much for a night out as the
average American earned in a year. Kelly travels through the 21
Club’s secret vault and onto the island of Broad Channel in
Queens. There houses built on pilings over the water of Jamaica
Bay still stand from the time when speedboats would load illegal
booze from the rum ships floating just outside international
waters. Plus we make the acquaintance of Arnold Rothstein, the
Prohibition-era gangster who met his end at a secret location we’
ll get to visit.
