Photo Coverage: Dominic Chianese Performs at Italian Night at The Friars Club
The show started off with a bang as Steven Maglio was "requested" by Dominic Chianese to introduce the evening. Dominic Chianese, the multi talented actor who is best known for his role as "Junior" in The Sopranos, can also sing (not as in FBI). There were a lot of "family" present for this yearly event at the Friars Club. Good food and good entertainment by fellow Friars were the specials of the day as General Manager Michael Caputo and Food & Beverage Director Giuseppe Tarillo expertly guided the evening. Even Chazz Palminteri (A Bronx Tale) luckily gave a thumbs up!
Dominic had a great array of favorite Italian melodies to sing and was aided by Simona De Rosa and Gennaro Esposito. Art Weiss on piano represented another another demographic of the club.
This was the one time I was grateful that the year long construction outside the club was still going on. The backfire we heard when leaving was from a cement truck on 54th street.
The Friars membership is truly representative of New York City, and you don't have to be a member of the family or mishpocheh to join.
Friar Steven Maglio will be debuting songs from his new CD "You Belong To Me" & other songs Sinatra never recorded at The Cutting Room on April 7th at 7:30
