The Mafia goes yuppie

This story about a stabbing incident over the weekend in Brooklyn is rather fascinating from a news perspective, but what really piqued my interest is the idea of the mafia wanting to muscle in on hipster pizzerias in gentrified Brooklyn neighbourhoods.  The modern mafia: forget poker and prostitution, now trading in mustard-drizzled kale salads, deep-fried prosciutto balls and ludicrously overpriced bottles of Viognier.
