‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ spinoff with Hoboken characters premieres Oct. 5

HOBOKEN — Fans of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” who miss the Manzo family can get their dose on Sunday Oct. 5, when the spinoff, “Manzo’d with Children,” premieres on Bravo.
During the last few seasons of RHONJ, twentysomething brothers Albie and Chris Manzo moved from their family’s Franklin Lakes, N.J. home into a luxury waterfront apartment in Hoboken. Hoboken was clearly the place to be, as their mom, the show’s outspoken Caroline Manzo, also got an apartment here with husband Albert, who owns the Brownstone catering hall in Paterson.
Shots of the brothers’ apartment at 333 River St. occasionally appeared in past seasons.
Apparently, for the new show, they all moved back home to save money. (As if!)
The brothers are still owners of the Little Town New Jersey restaurant on the Hoboken waterfront, so it’s likely they’ll still be around town.
The Bravo website says, “In an effort to be responsible and save up for a new apartment, Albie and Chris have made their way back to Franklin Lakes and even though Lauren is now engaged, she still hasn’t left chez Manzo. Albie brings his new girlfriend along for the ride and the two encounter more than just a few bumps in the road when trying to win over the rest of the Manzo clan.”
Okay, let us know what you think. Enjoy your Sunday dinner and then tune in!
