Hello everyone. Yes, Billi Pod is alive and well in The Big Apple and is in the process of finishing a much-too-long updating posting about things and stuff since I last posted way back on February 17th.
But that comes later - the reason for this posting is to give a major, and I do mean, major SHOUT-OUT to student/bartender/manager Scott Reed for something that has just happened in his life. What is it you loyal and faithful readers are no doubt breathlessly asking? Well, here it is --
After 2 years as a manager at Spitzer's Corner, a new American gastropub
with 40 craft beers on tap located in the trendy Lower East Side, Scott has just been promoted to The General Manager position of the newly opened Los Feliz, a taqueria/taquileria also located in the heart of the Lower East Side. Los Feliz is owned by the owners of Spitzer’s Corner and about a month ago Scott was re-assigned from Spitzer’s to a management position at Los Feliz. And in just a month’s time he was promoted to the head management position there - a huge accomplishment for a 23 year old. Awesome!!
A quick bit about Los Feliz - it is a 3 level dynamic space, “designed to transport people out of the typical New York City restaurant/lounge feel.” It is located at 109 Ludlow St. (between Delancy and Rivington), 212-228-8383. Their website site is: losfeliznyc.com. Check it out.
Scott told me that he will direct all aspects of the operation, working with Chef Julieta Ballesteros (Iron Chef) to continue menu development that complements the 150+ tequilas in stock.
You know, the truly amazing thing is that Scott is also able to maintain an active social life (yes, that is Joan Rivers in the picture) and is still enrolled in Hunter College and pursuing a degree in film-making.
What the future holds for this 23 year old young man only time will tell. I do know this, his parents, Stan the Man and Donna, are proud of him and Billi Pod feels indeed honored to be included in Scott’s circle of friends.
Keep it up Scott!
