How do you serve your local community? 

When It started working as the General Manager here I spoke to Marc the restaurant’s owner and we agreed that we would give discounts to area First Responders on food and drink.I also have built a great relationship with organizations like the Greenwich Young Professionals Group and Woman Owned Greenwich to host networking events in our bar area where we extend the hours of our discounted Happy Hour menu. I think it is important to give back in these ways. 

What do you love about working in Greenwich?  

I started working in Greenwich while I was living in Westchester County and recently moved to Fairfield. What I love most about Greenwich are the relationships I’ve built with customers. We’ve become friends, they have my cell and I am here to help them celebrate special occasions or just catch up on life. We have regular customers that I see daily and some that travel a long distance on the weekend to visit us for live music bottomless brunch. Beyond the community of interesting people, I love the energy on Greenwich Avenue. It is a diverse place and offers something for everyone - there is always something happening! 

Tell us about your favorite hidden gem in town. 

Occasionally I am asked by visitors about areas to take photos and I always suggest the pier. It is easy to get to, just down from Greenwich Avenue past the Delamar Hotel. From this area you can see the Long Island Sound and enjoy the fresh breeze. Another gem is all the live music at restaurants in town. Follow @livemusicgreenwich on Instagram to see where you’ll find live music. We regularly have music on the weekends which is a huge hit.
