BAY RIDGE — Talk about family fun!

This past Friday evening’s installment of the 2025 Summer Stroll on 3rd featured lots of exciting activities, dining and shopping specials, live entertainment and more “on the avenue,” but the best part is that I was able to share it all with members of my own family.

My beautiful wife Monica Viti-Buttacavoli and I attended the event with our little Paperanian Penelope Isabella Buttacavoli, stopping every few feet to say hello to friends. Everyone was warm and welcoming, which made for a delightful evening.

We also received a surprise visit from my brother Nicholas Buttacavoli, who came in from New Jersey to meet us for a bite to eat at Panino Rustico
