I’m a seasoned restaurateur based in Brooklyn, New York, with experience opening and operating multiple successful restaurants. I’ve been through the full process—from concept and buildout to hiring, launch, and day-to-day operations. Opening a restaurant in NYC can be incredibly rewarding—but also complex, expensive, and easy to get wrong without the right guidance. If you’ve ever thought about starting your own restaurant, I’m happy to walk you through what it really takes and help you think through your idea in a practical, grounded way.
