South Orange resident Daniel Mancini grew tired of the rat race in 2007 following a 30-year career in the fashion industry.

Last year, Mancini opened his first “walk up” window in New York City called Meatball Obsession where meatball lovers can literally walk up and order a “meatball in a cup” with Mancini’s sauce and bread.
