    04. Jennifer Vitagliano on Hospitality, Sisterhood, and the Power of Small Details

    Jennifer Vitagliano, co-founder of Elizabeth Street Hospitality, is a restaurateur known for creating spaces where people feel genuinely welcomed. Her work is rooted in the small, thoughtful details—the lighting, the table setting, the energy in a room—that quietly shape how people connect and experience a meal. For Jen, hospitality goes far beyond food. It’s about creating a feeling. In this conversation, Jennifer reflects on how growing up around family meals and togetherness shaped her love of bringing people together. She also shares how her close relationship with her twin sister and business partner, Nicole, continues to influence the way they build their restaurants, with trust, intuition, and deep care. At the heart of it all is a simple but non-negotiable belief: the people behind the scenes are family. Jennifer prioritizes creating an environment where everyone feels a true sense of belonging, knowing that the care shared internally is what guests ultimately feel when they walk through the door. Together, Jen and Jennifer explore what it means to create intentional spaces, and that the smallest details, when done with care, can be incredibly impactful. Share this with someone you’d love to sit down and have a meal with.

    03. The Gift of Being Present with Mariel O'Brien

    In this episode of The Little Things, Jennifer sits down with Mariel O’Brien, someone who doesn’t just build relationships but tends to them with extraordinary care. What began as a professional introduction quickly became something deeper. From their very first conversation, Mariel’s compassion and authenticity were unmistakable, the kind of presence you feel immediately and don’t forget. Mariel has a rare gift. She shows up fully. Whether on a call, across the table, or walking through the city with a high school student she’s mentoring, she is completely present, offering her time, her attention, and often exactly the right words when they’re needed most. Jennifer reflects on how Mariel quietly shapes the lives around her—from her close bond with her 90-year-old grandmother to the many children who call her godmother. Mariel creates a life that is warm and welcoming, reflected in her “gnome home,” a hidden New York City sanctuary that mirrors the vibrancy of her heart and shows how a thoughtfully created space can be the perfect escape. She also serves as a fractional president for several chic brands, leaving her distinctive stamp on each through her guidance and vision. This episode is about the power of small moments, the walks, the conversations, the gestures that may seem simple but leave a lasting imprint. Most of all, it is a celebration of a woman who makes others feel seen, and a chance to turn that light back onto her.

    02. Art in the Flow of Daily Life with Casey Fremont

    In this episode of The Little Things, Jennifer sits down with Casey Fremont, Executive Director of the Art Production Fund, for a conversation about art, connection, and the small moments that quietly shape a life. Casey’s journey has come full circle—from interning at the Art Production Fund to now leading it, guiding projects that bring contemporary art into everyday life. With a foundation of curiosity and care, she and Jennifer explore how public installations like Prada Marfa and Seven Magic Mountains turn unexpected encounters with art into moments of surprise, reflection, and connection. The conversation also moves beyond art itself and into the experience of bringing people together. From the energy of the Art Production Fund Gala to initiatives like Art Sundae, Casey reflects on how thoughtful details and intentional design can create a sense of community and belonging for those of all ages. At its core, this episode is about the quiet ways we make people feel seen. Casey speaks to the small, often unseen choices that shape her leadership, the influence of early encouragement, and how motherhood has deepened her perspective, allowing her to see the world with fresh eyes. This conversation is a reminder that creativity is not just about what we make, but how we live, how we notice, and how we show up for one another.
