What crime have we committed?
$begingroup$
We start in a city that rhymes with angina,
the masculine form, add in what's drunk in China,
then take phylum's first six, of the minor kind,
components will make what in our hand we find.
We add to our hand where we initiated,
and what's in between, plus the two lower-rated,
now, this combination leads straight to a street,
we keep going southwards till we know we're beat.
What violent crime have we committed?

Following on from NudgeNudge who got halfway with
Ace - which is what is in our hand
This can be shortened to
A (this is just the standard abbreviation, and what is on the corner of the card)
Adding where we initiated
AQ (Regina = Queen = Q)
Whats inbetween and the two lower rated
A K Q J 10
this combination leads straight to a street
This is a broadway straight in poker (assuming it's not a royal flush, I guess)
we keep going southwards till we know we're beat
Following broadway southwards in Manhattan leads to Battery park
So the answer is
Battery

The phylum of t-rexes is chordata. First six letters are chord a.
