It’s the only place in New York where you can take the gun and the cannoli. Secreted away behind the brick façades of three brownstones in Greenwich Village is the oldest Italian heritage club in the country, Tiro a Segno — a storied, members-only venue that has lavished cultural luminaries and political bigwigs with fine cuisine between rounds in the basement shooting range.
“That is really an homage to our heritage, more than something that’s really current,” John Vincenti, the club’s vice president of operations, told The Post of the three-spot, 50-foot shooting gallery. Tiro a Segno was founded in 1888 as a sportsmen’s club and members indulged in their hunting hobby at a private preserve on Staten Island. But the club — referred to simply as “Tiro” by those in the know — turned over the preserve during World War I, and relocated to its current MacDougal Street outpost in the 1920s.
