Sollozzo felt slighted when Vito declined his offer so he and the Tattaglia’s devised a plan to whack the Godfather. The assassination attempt was unsuccessful leading Sollozzo to say in astonishment “The old man is still alive. Five bullets in his Sicilian hide and he is still alive.” (Puzo 105).

I still had a long way to reach the meeting place. I had been dropped off far away—originally near Times Square—to avoid any attraction. To be fair, most individuals recognized my cars. I was known around these parts. Yet, most of the regular folk didn’t mind me, and I didn’t mind them, as long as we didn’t mess with eachother. The authorities, however, wouldn’t act as kindly. I took a left on 10th Avenue, pulling my cap down lower on top of my head. I couldn’t lie, I was growing nervous. I had told Henry to meet me alone, at an abandoned warehouse with the money. I was just hoping nobody tailed him—or worse—that he brought one of his goons. For that reason, I carried a revolver in my coat pocket. I was praying to God I didn’t have to use

We arrived in New York on a beautiful, hot, summer morning. While driving into the city, it felt as if the skyscrapers were closing in on us. If I were to roll down my window I could touch the car beside me. I felt nervous as the taxi driver was weaving through traffic. With all of the honking and beeping, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. We finally arrived at our hotel. We were staying in the Upper West Side: one of the more luxurious parts of the city. We had gotten a deal on a room because there was construction outside of the building: something that was familiar to New York anyway. We dropped our bags off at the hotel and headed back out. We walked aimlessly until we found a charming little cafe called Isabella's. The cafe was located just outside of the lush Central Park. When we walked into the cafe it was like we were transported to Paris-with a hint of New York. There were beautiful table settings and the architecture of the building was nothing short of fascinating. Waiters and waitresses were running around frantically as we were escorted outside to our table. It was a beautiful day in New York City; it was hot but there was a cool breeze to relieve you of the heat. From our table, you could see Central Park in all its glory. It felt like a dream.
