Triangle Social Club

The Triangle Social Club in Greenwich Village, reputedly owned by Genovese family boss Vincent “the Chin” Gigante, was considered one of New York’s last iconic mafia hangouts. Gigante, notorious for his bathrobe-and-slippers public persona—widely believed to be a ruse to feign mental illness—allegedly ran operations from this spot. The club closed in 2011, and its location now houses the Sullivan Street Tea & Spice Company, marking a sharp contrast from its mob-related past.
