Church of St. Anthony of Padua
On one occasion during the 1980s, Gigante noticed that an FBI surveillance unit was following him near the corner of Sullivan Street and Houston Street.
After seeing the agents, he dropped to his knees in front of the Church of St. Anthony of Padua and pretended to pray.
This, of course, was all part of his act.
Gigante's mother's apartment
His mother, Yolanda Gigante, lived at 225 Sullivan Street, which was just 70 yards north of the Triangle Social Club.
Although he owned a house in the suburbs, he preferred Greenwich Village so much that he spent most nights in his mother's apartment.
Neighbors said that it was a common sight to see him walking out of this building in his pajamas. He would then wander towards the cafe down the street with a befuddled look on his face.
"The Chin" put on this performance because he knew that the neighborhood was under constant surveillance. If the authorities captured footage of him acting "normal", they would be able to use it against him in court.
