The Together Hospitality May 2024 meeting set a record for attendance and received glowing accolades from members and guests who filled the seats at Bad Roman, one of NYC’s hottest restaurants. Overlooking Columbus Circle on the third floor of the Deutsche Bank Center, Bad Roman has been bursting at the seams with satisfied guests and rave reviews. Nathaniel Young, President and COO of Quality Branded, shared the successful philosophy behind the 275 seat venue that is both “experiential and welcoming.” Authority member Taryn Brandes, Founder of Brand Urban, held a master’s class on NYC commercial real estate and illuminated what makes for an A+ restaurant location, including strong landlord relationships, key design metrics, and the uniqueness of the specific micro neighborhood. With plenty of time for mingling as well as a spotlight from social impact partner Allie’s Place, the nearly fifty professionals present all left feeling inspired to conquer Roman style.
