Ali Plays Bocce at Il Vagabondo -

Il Vagabondo is legendary in NYC, and for good reason. How many Italian restaurants have a full bocci court in their back room? And while gambling isn’t encouraged, you may want to bet on whose paying for the veal parm. Il Vagabondo 1351 East 62nd Street Manhattan, NY 10065 / (212) 832-9221

My Julie Zetlin Segment Makes Leaps Across the Web

This past weekend, 1st Look aired a piece that is probably my proudest to date in its “Road to London 2012” special after Saturday Night Live. Though I usually can’t get enough of our typical “best of” lifestyle content, this project took me away from the daily grind and allowed me to follow an incredible young woman who’s making strides in her sport for Team USA. Julie Zetlin was an inspiration and spirit that our team was so lucky to work with and we can’t wait to watch her perform in the Olympics. You’re gold to us, no matter what happens in London.
