Travel Channel to Premiere SLICE OF BROOKLYN, 3/7

Travel Channel will premiere back-to-back pilots of SLICE OF BROOKLYN as a special one-hour presentation on Wednesday, March 7 at 10:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., ET/PT. The show is an authentic, fun and informative glimpse into the lives of native Brooklynites Tony Muia, his cousin Paula, and his friends from the old neighborhood, that he appropriately calls his "consiglieri." What makes this oddball family so special is that they run a small but very successful tour bus company, highlighting the best pizza spots in Brooklyn, NY. The tour is always booked to capacity and gets the highest rating on most websites. But, there are bigger fish swarming through the East River from Manhattan, and they're trying to gobble up his clients. Will Tony be able to keep his business afloat with multi-million dollar tour companies looking to take over his turf? One thing for sure is that Tony is not going down without a fight.
