Gabe Stulman is my guest on this episode of Real Takk.  Gabe owns & operates 10 restaurants in NYC, the majority of them located in the West Village.  We discuss the implications of SBA's PPP system to restaurants, the future of his restaurants, his actions to Congress, and what his relationships are currently like with multiple landlords.  


Hailing from my hometown in Fairfax VA, Gabe moved to NYC post-college working as a bartender, and eventually became an opening partner at Little Owl & market table. in the west village.  Today he’s the CEO of Happy Cooking NYC where is operates the restaurants he founded including the names of Joseph Leonard, Fairfax (formally known as Perla), Fedora, Jeffrey’s Grocery, Bar Sardine, Studio, the GW Bar, Simon & the Whale, & most recently The Jones, located on Great Jones Street.  I encourage you all to follow Gabe and his recent initiatives during covid19 at @gabestulman & information on these restaurants.
