Why One Jersey 'Housewife' Should Want the 'Jersey' Bus Tour to Thrive

By Rob Shuter Posted Oct 26th 2010 09:00PM

Hop aboard the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' express. That's right folks, there is now an arranged bus tour of all the haunts seen on the hit TV show and it can all be yours for the low-low price of $95. (That's not a typo.) Best of all, one 'Housewife' in particular is poised to make some money off those tourists!

A Wayne-based event planning company called Celebrations is holding its first 'New Jersey Housewives Tour' on Nov. 13. The tour last 6 long hours and includes lunch at The Brownstone in The Manzo family's Paterson banquet hall, followed by a stop at Posche Boutique, owned by Kim D. And if that isn't enough tour guides will conduct onboard trivia contest as well as hand out goody bags full of "Jersey-related" items.

"Why would anyone need to pay $95 for a tour of beauty salons, shops and houses in Jersey," laughed one 'Housewife' after learning of the tour. "Anyone can have dinner at The Brownstone any night of the week. It's not Nobu for goodness sake. For $95 you could feed a family of six. Then drive yourself for free past a few houses."

With lunch at The Brownstone baked into the tour's itinerary, Caroline will be reaping the benefits, (that is if the tour is a success).

"Caroline is defiantly making money from the tour," one show insider tells me. "This is her Bethenny moment to take her fame and make as much cash as she can from it as quickly as possible."

I spoke with Caroline and asked if she was profiting from the tour and she told me, "nope not in the least." I'm assuming lunch at the Brownstone must be free then!

More details on the tour here!

Avarice and acrimony. Only by Bravo.

Question for the author of this article: You wrote that "Caroline Manzo is defiantly making money from this tour!". Is she really defiant about making money? Or will she definitely be making money? I had to ask, because if you're publishing an article, shouldn't you at least check your spelling? Sorry, I'm a former English teacher!

I like New Jersey.

I live in New Jersey and to take that particular tour is meaningless. I'd rather take a Soprano tour even though I already know all the Soprano spots since I lived in that area.

I live in NJ and I nor any members of our family would ever waste our money on this ridiculous idea! I've been to the Brownstone twice for weddings, and although it was nice, lunch is not worth 95 dollars each. Sorry.

By Lilac

They all make me sick to my stomach. The show isn't even fun to watch anymore. Now they have Ashley and Lauren in it as "housewives?" Give me a break. So long, BRAVO!

The "ladies" of the real housewives of new jersey are so full of themselves that they can't even see it. Although, I have a 9 to 5 office job, and I don't spend an easy two or three hundred to stuff my pie-hole for lunch, I am more grounded and a lot more real than they are. That being said, out of all of those loones, Jackie is my favorite.
