“Bobby Blanche” as he was widely known within the national underworld was also a bit of a Bon Vivant. Bureau agents who tracked his movements over the years took note of his frequenting some of the ritziest restaurants, nightclubs, and hotels in Manhattan, Miami, Las Vegas, and wherever else he traveled during his underworld assignments and “missions.”
Nicholas (Bobby Blanche) Belangi – aka “Robert Bilangi” “Robert Blanchi” “Bobby Belangi” “Bobby Blanch” “Nicolo Belangi” (TN) – was born on February 22, 1903. Bobby was raised and reared at 111 Roosevelt Street in New York City and mostly operated during his younger years along Manhattan’s Lower East Side area.
