As I stood outside FirstLive, basking in the afterglow of another successful 30 Days To Rock show featuring the amazing Renee and TINSTY, I couldn’t help but feel like a superstar. It was a thrilling sensation, one that was only intensified by the fact that the studio was nestled in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn – our hometown. I felt free from the pressures of production, able to concentrate on being a good host and enjoying the ride. Alonzo and I exchanged a knowing glance, our thoughts already drifting to our next destination: Tony’s Pizza at 443 Knickerbocker Ave. Not only was it our favorite pizzeria, but it was also home to the best pizza in Brooklyn. Our mission was simple: pick up new dad caps adorned with the Tony’s logo, which we’d proudly wear on the air to promote this beloved local business. As we strolled through Bushwick, the familiar sights and sounds enveloped us like a warm embrace. The spray-painted murals, the scent of freshly-baked bread wafting from corner bakeries, and the eclectic mix of people going about their daily lives – it was a sensory symphony that never failed to stir my soul. Alonzo and I reminisced as we walked, each story unlocking more memories we’d shared together in this vibrant neighborhood. We were two kids who had grown up here, dreaming big dreams and refusing to let anything hold us back. As we approached the Knickerbocker Ave M Train stop, the familiar sign of Tony’s Pizza came into view. It was like a beacon, guiding us towards the culinary nirvana that awaited us inside. As we walked into the pizzeria, the aroma of perfectly seasoned tomato sauce and melting cheese enveloped us, stirring our appetites and conjuring images of countless slices we’d enjoyed in the past. The staff at Tony’s greeted us with warm smiles and enthusiastic handshakes, making us feel like VIPs in our own hometown. It was an intoxicating feeling, knowing that we were not only supporting a local business but also sharing a slice of our lives with our audience. We picked up our new Tony’s Pizza dad caps, admiring the expertly embroidered logo that represented a symbol of pride and community. These caps would be more than just a fashionable accessory; they were a testament to our love for our hometown and the people who made it special.
