I Am Anthony Viola

Most of us have been acquainted already but there are some things most people don’t know about me. For starters, I was born in Brooklyn, the birthplace of both of my parents and where they met. For about ten years, I lived back and forth throughout the boroughs until we moved to Pennsylvania where I went to school and graduated. For the latter half of my high school career, I worked full-time in a pet store where puppies and kittens were the main priority. I quickly moved up the rankings and found myself in a position of leadership within the first year of my employment. Today, I live in the Towers and plan on finding an apartment next year. I currently work for Apple in Grand Central Station so a lot of my ‘free’ time is spent there.

A big part of my life is my Italian heritage. In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a lot of the residents were of Italian decent. Every year, on Havemeyer and N. 9th Street is an Italian feast ran by the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. Food, games, and other Italian-decorated events take place over the course of two weeks each July. I continue to go back every year and enjoy zeppoles and Italian steak sandwiches.
