Pressed for Time: Jewish Gangsters, Pimps & Nogoodniks

By Joshua David Stein

Oct. 10, Educational Alliance, 197 East Broadway (betw. Jefferson & Clinton Sts.), 212-780-2300; 2, $15 and up

For those who think of us as effete intellectuals, and for those of us whose mothers wish us to settle down with a nice Jewish boy, this walking tour, put on by Kinky- Jews.com, serves as an effective antidote.The tour transports you back to the days of Henry Roth’s Call It Sleep and when Meyer Lansky’s was more than a lounge.

Bottom Line:
A watery domestic Inglourious Basterds that happens to be true.
