The Museum of the American Gangster, East Village.


John Dillinger death masks.




Some of the (expired) $2M in gold currency and other items found in two safes in the basement.




Into the basement...


Looking into the steel-reinforced bunker directly under the speakeasy bar...






...where this wire was once rigged to dynamite to blow up the bar above if ever there was a raid. The owners are almost certain that it no longer works. Also, there's no record that the dynamite was ever found.




The bar's original icebox. There's a bunch of cool old labels stuck on the back wall. I wonder what else they kept in here?




Couple of paw prints of the bar's original "basement cat".
