Hospitality projects have to hit the right notes, engaging all the senses, to resonate. Over several decades, pioneering restaurateur David Rabin has morphed his talents into becoming an architect of the hospitality experience. His reputation and involvement in some of the most popular and memorable restaurants, clubs, and bars in New York City along with his broad network and uncanny ability to remember faces, names and details uniquely equip him to create elevated places with the right mix of talent, aesthetic, great food and drink, and diverse clientele.  

David's current roster of projects include the recently-opened Sona, with partner Maneesh Goyal and creative collaborator Priyanka Chopra Jonas (wife of Nick Jonas), embodying the flavors and glamour of India;  Skylark, a Midtown Manhattan rooftop bar and event space with amazing views including the Empire State Building; Jimmy, the rooftop bar with panoramic city views, and Veranda, helmed by Michelin Chef George Mendes, both located in Modernhaus SOHO; American Bar, serving Continental classics in Greenwich Village;  The Lambs Club, with its powerhouse clientele and renowned Chef Geoffrey Zakarian; and The Dorsey in the Venetian Hotel, voted Best Bar in Las Vegas by Conde Nast Traveler;  with several other projects in the works.

He is currently on the Executive Board of the Times Square Alliance and the Board of Directors of the NYC Hospitality Alliance, of which he was formerly the president. He also served on the Executive Board of NY Cares for 20 years. 

In this episode, long-time friends and former business partners, David and host Brad Johnson converse about how NYC life has changed during COVID, the reemergence and energy of New Yorkers in restaurants and bars, lack of hospitality workers and recruiting bonuses, restaurateur insights into the alchemy of hospitality spaces and teams, how diversity comes naturally to him, and learning to trust your instincts.

After years of lowering the velvet rope and pulling out chairs on both coasts for countless guests, Brad Johnson puts his warm, present and welcoming hospitality skills to use as the host of Corner Table Talk, covering topics spanning FOOD + DRINK + CULTURE. Following the guest conversation, international speaker, writer, and diplomat Ambassador Shabazz (eldest daughter of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz) spends a few moments unpacking the discussion and lets us in on some of the interesting people, places, and things that have her attention in HOW WE MOVE.

Brad Johnson’s career in hospitality began in the early 70s in the dish pit of his father’s renowned NYC restaurant, The Cellar, followed by his subsequent storied road creating high profile establishments, from the lavish LA nightclub The Roxbury (yes, that Roxbury) to the Melrose Avenue soulful hotspot, Georgia, and the James Beard Award-nominated Post & Beam.
