Ally Love
I recently had the opportunity to take a Peleton class in NYC led by Ally Love. It became evident right away that Ally is one of those people who glows from the inside out, who has one of those high-energy, positive personalities that radiates happiness.

The Tenants of The Vito A. Lofts

Dominique Bariso of Jersey City Chiropractic and Acupuncture
I met Dominique Bariso at a professional networking group a few months ago in Hoboken. We all met around 7 AM at a local diner and all the professionals/entrepreneurs had to introduce themselves.

JC Dishes Lightened up: Rustique’s Holly Sandwich
