What is Chris Manzo’s career?

Manzo had previously worked for his father in the family business. His father was a co-owner of The Brownstone, a major event and venue facility in New Jersey. Manzo worked a variety of tasks there, including dishwashing, parking, and staff management.

Manzo’s public career began in 2009, when his mother, Caroline, joined the cast of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” The family was on the show until the end of the fifth season. Manzo and his brother, Albie, were popular with viewers because they frequently exchanged amusing banter and got themselves into ridiculous situations, much to their mother’s chagrin and enjoyment. He and his family later starred in the spin-off reality show “Manzo’d with Children.” It premiered in November 2014 and concluded its third and final season in February 2017.

Manzo and his brother have developed a number of company concepts and opportunities. After attending a food expo in Manhattan, the brothers discovered a fledgling beverage company manufacturing black alkalized water known for its health advantages.

In 2011, the brothers decided to try their hand at marketing the project and founded BLK Water. They had success with the venture, originally driving across the country in a BLK van to market the water, which appeared on grocery store shelves from coast to coast. However, the corporation was later entangled in various litigation, which finally led to the brand’s demise.

Manzo is also a published author of children’s books. In 2016, he published his first book, “Oliver Brightside: You Don’t Want That Penny,” and attended a number of signings and readings at local schools and shops. He has mentioned that he intends to write more children’s books in the future.

Manzo and his brother began operating the Berkeley Oceanfront hotel and restaurant in Asbury Park in 2020 in an effort to rebuild the property alongside its owners. The facility reopened in 2022 under the management of the brothers. This was not Manzo’s first time running a restaurant. He had previously worked as the manager and proprietor of Tenth Street Pizza in Hoboken, New Jersey.

From 2014 to 2015, he co-owned Little Town restaurant with his brother. He became the new owner of Nunzio’s Pizza in Long Beach in 2023. The brothers have previously managed other eateries in the area.
