Today's task is to have Asher, a wonderful researcher, and like me, a poor speller, write Hoffman and Speakeasy 100 times on the museum blackboard. As seen in the next post, this is more than likely not our Frank Hoffman, though every story about prohibition is a gem, and an important part of the history of this nation. Best wishes, and a now legal toast to Frank and his family, Lorcan PPS: Anyone have a cheap blackboard for sale or loan to the museum? =) A short PS.

I am wondering if your Grandfather was the same Frank Hoffmann who at one time owned the building we now inhabit at 80 st. marks place in the East Village. It was once called Scheib's place and before that was a speakeasie that was run by scheib but the real owner was Frank Hoffmann the Bavarian gangster and also bootlegger at times. It is possible this is the same person. If you wish to visit our website please do at. http://museumoftheamericangangster.org. or contact us through our email there. Maybe we can shed some light on the mystery because we have been trying to find information on Frank Hoffmann for some time. Thanks. Sincerely, Asher Sarnoff Museum of the American Gangster. NYC.
