Summary

Small businesses have been decimated by the pandemic, and perhaps no industry has been impacted more than the hospitality industry, especially in cities like New York. According to a recent survey, more than 80% of restaurants and bars in the Big Apple couldn’t pay their rent in July. One of those restaurants fighting to survive is Rezdora, an Italian restaurant in New York City's Flatiron neighborhood that was put on the map after a three-star review in the New York Times. Chef and co-owner Stefano Secchi joins us on the podcast this weekend to discuss what he's doing to try and survive the pandemic, as well as his thoughts on the future of the hospitality industry once the pandemic passes. Apologies in advance if this interview leaves you hungry and looking for reservations the next time you visit the NYC! Have a money question? Email me here.
