The pub is named after a New York City gangster who was assassinated in Newark, next door to what is now the Tryp by Wyndham Newark.

The lunch menu has options like buffalo chicken wings; margarita flatbread pizza; smoked salmon; and organic sweet potato fries. Brass fixtures; poppy colors; and modern takes on Roman busts complete the dining experience.
