via Bravo's Press Release:
t's a season of change for this Garden State clan as each member takes a step towards independence, leaving Caroline to find out if she has succeeded in her beloved role as the Manzo Matriach. As Lauren prepares to wed fiancé Vito, Caroline and Al cope with the feeling of losing their only daughter and wonder if she is ready to face a new life without daddy's credit cards. Meanwhile, Albie and Chris have decided it's time to break free from their inseparable past as they each set out to pursue their own professional and personal dreams. Chris decides to make his lifelong passion of becoming a children's book author a reality and moves out of the house and back to Hoboken for some creative space, leaving his older brother to fend for himself. Nevertheless, Albie is hoping to hit the "jackpot" with his latest entrepreneurial endeavor, exploring Colorado's cannabis business. Caroline wants nothing more than for her boys to be happy, but their choices of legal marijuana and children's books leave her feeling extremely uneasy. With the nuptials fast approaching, the Manzos also spend more time getting further acquainted with their soon-to-be in-laws, the Scalias; a family just as sharp-tongued, but even more traditional in their Italian ways than the Manzos. These two families go on a joint vacation to the Amalfi Coast just weeks before the big day, but their relationship may be more olive oil and water than spaghetti and meatballs. With everyone moving in different directions, the Manzos might not always see eye-to-eye, but they remain thick as thieves.
Caroline Manzo is the epitome of a strong New Jersey woman. Always putting family first, she is a devoted wife and mother of three children, Albie, 28; Lauren, 26; and Christopher, 25. Caroline has been married for more than 30 years to her husband Albert who runs The Brownstone, a very successful catering facility in Paterson, NJ. The business has been with the family for over 30 years and is one of the premiere event spaces in the state. Although Caroline spends the majority of her time managing the household, her family has been known to run her ragged as she supports BLK Water, Brownstone Sauce, and Cafface Beauty Bar. Caroline is affiliated with several charities including SCTNOW, a foundation dedicated to stopping child trafficking within our own borders, CROC, a foundation dedicated to helping cancer survivors, Best Friends Animal Society, Wounded Warriors Project and The PG Chambers School, a NJ facility dedicated to educating children with physical and mental disabilities. Often described as a feisty spitfire, Caroline manages to have it all -- family, friends, and a career. In her opinion, that is what makes her a "Real Housewife" of New Jersey.
Albert Manzo runs The Brownstone, a very successful catering facility in Paterson, NJ. The business has been with the family for nearly 35 years and is one of the premier event facilities in the state. Albert is 54 years old and has been married to his wife, Caroline, for over 30 years. They have three children, Albie, 28; Lauren, 26, and Christopher 25. In his free time Albert loves to golf and spend time on his boat. Albert supports numerous charity organizations but closest to his heart is the Wounded Warrior Project as well as Law enforcement and Firefighters in NY and NJ.
Albie Manzo, 28, is the oldest of the Manzo bunch and always managing to keep his baby brother, Chris, on his toes. They are partners and co-founders of BLK beverages, which has grown exponentially since its 2011 debut with distribution all across the country in major stores such as Target, Whole Foods, Wegmans, Sprouts, and more. Albie is also a partner in the Hospitality Group that owns Little Town New Jersey Restaurant in Hoboken, NJ, and just expanded with the opening of its second location at the Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment Complex.
Lauren Manzo:
At 26, Lauren is busier than ever as she juggles planning her upcoming wedding and running her beauty bar, Cafface, which is undergoing new and exciting developments. Lauren became engaged to fiancé Vito in November of 2013, and is over the moon preparing for her summer 2015 nuptials. Between wedding dress shopping, house hunting, and running her own business, Lauren tries to deal with the craziness, all while living amidst the crowded chaos at home with her entire family.
Chris Manzo:
Youngest of the Manzo children and creator of the family’s favorite pastime, the Ham Game, Chris Manzo, 25, always keeps his family laughing and having fun, no matter what. He is working hard with his brother on BLK beverages, as well as their restaurant, Little Town New Jersey. When he isn’t busy with either of these ventures, Chris enjoys going to the movies and spending quality time with his parents, brother and sister.
