I moved cross country for school originally, and the restaurant business seemed a natural progression, starting as a hostess and learning and growing from there. I started bartending on the Lower east side, (back when I was one of maybe 2 white girls on Ave. C ) and have worked with several NYC restaurants from gritty Ave C to the tree lined streets of the UWS and everywhere in between (with the crazy NY customers that come with each). Now I am happy to live and work in Brooklyn, where the crazy is just a touch more balanced.
