Mob Blog: Cristal and Caviar

Mob Blog: Cristal and Caviar, February 1, 2012

Franco calls me to let me know the Russians are back, hanging at my swank South Beach club two nights this past week. The Russians make me a little nervous–I don’t do business with them–but I don’t mind when they patronize my nightclub. They like to do private parties, renting out the upper level lounge. Usually they bring their own chicks, but this last time they asked Franco to “arrange” some dates, and he brought in about a dozen of Fort Lauderdale’s finest. Franco says they put on quite a show, but he was more impressed with the Russians consumption of premium champagne. They have a taste for Dom, but they also go for the Cristal. “Lou,” he says, “it was Cristal and caviar all night long.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Cristal and Caviar is written in the voice of Patricia Bellomo’s main character, mobster Louie Morelli.
