A photo she had posted of her cap on Twitter had reached the reality television star -- known for his hair-gel, blowout and tan -- whose response was far better than anyth…

Fort Lee Pizzeria Thrives Through Changing Times
Much has changed in Fort Lee since Franco and Antonietta Bazzarelli opened their pizzeria, Franco's Metro. The shop's name. Its location. The menu.
