Behind the bar: I mainly serve sarcasm and occasionally cocktails. You can usually find me there Thursday and Saturday. All other nights, I am creating a tiny bald spot by ripping my hair out in pursuit of my master&rsqursquo;s in Gender and Cultural Studies.
Career goals: I’d like to continue on to my Ph.D. and eventually become a professor. I hope to work in masculinity theories and draw connections between the urban saloon and the urban bar, as an institution that fosters hegemonic masculinity.
Favorite cocktail to prepare: A Toronto. A fantastic Manhattan variation including Fernet Branca, it provides an interesting herbal backbone to a classic cocktail. It’s a great cocktail that has a balanced sweetness and spice (add rye).
Her wheels: Currently, you can find me riding around the city on my yellow ’79 Honda CM400T Café Racer, admiring every moto that passes. I love motorcycle culture.
Parle Italiano? I grew up in a Southern Italian family that spoke Neapolitan dialect, so I decided to dedicate my undergrad “free time” to learning and tutoring textbook Italian.
Celebrity crush: Emma Stone (what a babe).
Deal breaker: A loud chewer.
Romantic locale: Hands down, Italy. I studied there and would kill to go back on a romantic adventure.
Seduction dish: Spaghetti and meatballs. Eat that with confidence, and I’m yours.
Great Catches
