NY Times: A Zingone in every aisle
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/10/nyregion/a-zingone-in-every-aisle.html?partner=rss&emc=rss"Me? I’m from Columbus Avenue,” said Dominick Zingone, 53, a tall and suave member of the clan behind Zingone Brothers, an old-fashioned grocery store on the Upper West Side. And that’s exactly how the rest of the Zingones feel. No one has forgotten that Grandpa Domenico left the lemon groves of Praiano on the Amalfi Coast at 15, crossed to the New World on the Giuseppe Verdi and landed at Ellis Island on Sept. 3, 1920, but since 1927 a Zingone has been selling produce on the avenue.
