This is a club called Nox. It’s located on 4th Avenue between 93rd and 94th Streets. It is only the latest incarnation of many guido clubs at the location, which was once owned by a guy who killed a guy.
I believe that it was called Club Turqoise at the time of gore.
In any event, early [...]
The Lone Star Bar & Grill sits in between Gore Tour stops #11 and #19 on 5th Avenue near 87th Street.
While the Lone Star is a fairly new bar, the location has been many a bar over the years.
In December 2006 two young men left the bar - back when it was called the Kilcar House [...]
This is the corner of 69th and 3rd Avenue, directly across the street from Gore Stop #22. The storefront has been an eye care center for years, but long, long ago - some 80 years ago it was the scene of gore.
In 1928, bootlegger Vannie Higgins and his gang, ended up mixed up in a gun battle with [...]
This is the corner of 92nd Street and 4th Avenue.
Many of you who watch the NYC Marathon each year might recognize the building as being where the lead runners usually turn onto 4th Avenue.
For some odd reason the outside of this corner apartment building draws flesh eaters of the human kind. If you ever are out late [...]
These are the on ramps to the Verrazano Narrows Bridge viewed from Fort Hamilton Parkway at around 100th Street. The westbound side is closest in this shot, and it is the scene of gore.
In September of last year these ramps were undergoing major construction. The entire right lane was in the process of being redone. At [...]
This is the apartment building of 345 on the very busy 86th Street and it just so happens to be next to the scene of Gour Tour stop number 27.
On June 16, 2002 Leona Rothman was living there and standing outside of the building when out of the blue, Ariel Garcia - who was wearing [...]
This is a local bar aptly named “Speakeasy”. It’s located on 5th Avenue at 95th Street.
Besides being the backdrop to numerous nonlethal stabbings, including one earlier this month when two strangers walked in and stabbed a guy in the chest and back, it was the scene of at least one lethal stabbing.
Now unfortunately this one falls under [...]
This is 86th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenue. The Fedders building in the center with the odd staircase was once the scene of gore.
This scene of gore falls into the sad sad land of “Ungoogleable” - I just cannot find any information on it, but I know that it happened.
It was either in the very [...]
This is an apartment building on the narrow and sleepy 100th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues.
On July 19, 2007 this building was the scene of a horrible death. The building superintendent found Magdy Okelly in his third floor apartment around 8:30AM bound with duct tape, beaten and stabbed to death.
Several men and a woman [...]
This is the now restored Shore Road Bike Path. It runs for several miles along the lower New York Harbor.
It’s quite picturesque at times.
It is also the scene of quite possibly the one stop on the Gore Tour that made me gag and feel sick to my stomach over.
It was along this bike path on [...]
This is the very sleepy Marine Avenue near 97th Street.
It is probably the sleepiest location of our Gore Tour as it is avenues and blocks past the last stop on the subway and contains some really big, gorgeous, and well kept homes on the side streets.
When I was a little kid I used to walk [...]
This is the old Victory Memorial Hospital located on 92nd Street near 7th Avenue. Just this past June it was the scene of some ironic gore.
See, the portion of the hospital behind the tree is the old emergency room and had been open to incoming patients up until this year.
Well, shortly after the ER shuttered [...]
