The demise of New York City that was predicted at the beginning of the pandemic didn’t happen. Indeed, dining and nightlife have roared back in much of the city, and even in Midtown Manhattan, with its reliance on office workers, most of whom are still working from home, and Broadway theatergoers, who are just now coming back to shows, is back in business according to David Rabin. And he should know. Rabin has been a fixture in the city’s nightlife since he opened Rex in 1990, which soon became a trendy hangout for supermodels. He went on to open Lotus, a club that helped transform Manhattan’s Meatpacking District at the turn of the century. Now he operates two rooftop bars — The Skylark and Jimmy — as well as American Bar, Sona and a remodeled Temple Bar, a beloved cocktail bar in the city’s NoHo neighborhood that closed at the end of 2017. “It’s just a dark, sexy nightlife-for-grownups kind of room,” he said. Rabin also operates Veranda, whose kitchen is headed up by chef George Mendes, and The Lambs Club, which is set to reopen in Midtown any day now. New York continues to buzz, but it does so a bit earlier now, Rabin said, with people going out for dinner at 7 instead of 9, but they’re drinking plenty, and money doesn’t seem to be a barrier. Even spirit-free cocktails are selling for $16, and some full-proof ones at his rooftop bars now go for more than $20. “Nobody seems to be blinking at the cost,” he said. Rabin recently discussed the changing habits of his customers and his plans for the future.

George Mendes is a determined and compassionate individual. He is a humble perfectionist who does what it takes to “get it done!” George is not swayed by challenges and, in fact, he rises to meet them with creativity and quick thinking. George is the Chef and owner of Aldea Restaurant in New York City. George puts his heart and his soul into his craft and it is abundantly clear; Aldea has been awarded a Michelin Star every year since 2011! This "all-in" approach is also evident in George’s running practice. In the four years since George started racing marathons, he has sliced over 40 minutes off of his finish time, achieving a personal best at the 2018 New York City Marathon of 3:37:26. It cannot go without saying that before this personal best, George achieved a 12-minute personal best of 3:43:42 at the 2018 Boston Marathon during historically cold, windy, and torrential weather. George also negative-split this race! George’s story is one of determination, perseverance, commitment and an innate calling to help others. George uses all of his skills in the kitchen, and those on the road, to give back to the world. This is a beautiful, deep-dive into George’s chef experience and how he applies the same outlook and skills to road-racing. "Bom appetite!" GOOD LUCK to everyone racing the Boston Marathon on Monday. Listen and allow George to help you ascend Heartbreak Hill.

The 2011 Food & Wine Best New Chef sat down to talk about the importance of mentorship, friendship, biking, and being an ambassador for Portuguese cuisine.

Acclaimed Chef George Mendes opens up on an intimate conversation with Dorothy Cann Hamilton on this week’s episode of Chef’s Story. A first-generation American born to Portuguese parents, George Mendes has fond memories of the elaborate, festive meals his family would prepare while he was growing up in Danbury, Connecticut. Hear his culinary journey in his own words, from culinary school to Bouley to San Sebastian in Spain and eventually, many restaurant jobs later, opening Aldea in New York City. Find out how the lessons he learned working the back of the house with some of the most seminal chefs in the world helped shape his cooking style and turned him into the chef he is today. This program was sponsored by Whole Foods Market. “I grew up around a lot of good cooking and that’s what planted the seed. My mom made home cooked meals 5-6 times a week.” [04:00] “Having a really sharp knife is the start of everything. Too many cooks come in the kitchen with expensive knives that aren’t sharp. To me – that’s useless.” [18:00] “You can have a basic dish of 3 ingredients but it can sing off the table if you pay attention and do it right with discipline, focus, passion and skill.” [26:00] “I think it’s important for a chef to know the basics but evolve and learn modern technology while keeping an open mind.” [36:00] –George Mendes of Aldea on Chef’s Story
