It felt like a scene from Woody Allen’s A Midnight In Paris, except in this version, Atlantic City took center stage. As the doors opened, I was greeted by the sound of clinging glasses, crooning jazz, and the year 1923.

The night started with my first trip down the red carpet before the screening of the season 3 premiere episode of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. If you’re not familiar with the show, think of it as the dapper love child of The Sopranos and Goodfellas, raised by its uncle, Steve Buscemi.

 Usually when I watch my Sunday shows, I’m in sweats with my non-skid socks on. However that night, I traded it all in for a dress and heels. It’s not every day I get to time travel with the cast of one of my favorite shows.

 In Southern California people know how to live in the fast lane. Whether it’s surfing near the Santa Monica Pier, or roller-skating down the boardwalk near Venice Beach, So Cal residents know how to enjoy the beauty of the Golden State.  Verizon FiOS knows its fans love everything fast and recently launched Quantum – the fastest Internet speed available! 

FiOS set-up interactive events in some of the hottest locations like  Santa Monica demonstrating Quantum speed through an interactive game “A Night Out in So Cal.”
