Gigi Loizzo and Angel Molina's apartment on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx looks out on Yankee Stadium.
Gigi loizzo and angel molina met on a blind date in 2002 and married soon after. It was the second marriage for both. Molina moved into Loizzo’s rent-stabilized apartment in the East Village, and a year later his son, Jared, joined. They became a cozy blended family with Loizzo’s daughter, Mary (both kids were in junior high), plus Gigi’s dogs. Maybe it was a bit too cozy: Three years later, they decided to look for a bigger place. Loizzo’s landlord offered to buy them out with the caveat that they would have to move in 60 days. “You can’t find anything in 60 days,” Loizzo says. They found a house on City Island. “I hated the commute, but it’s what I could find in 60 days.”
