The Soho Grand Hotel is looking for a Food & Beverage Manager to join their team.
The Grand Bar & Salon is a throwback to the way bars used to be. With nods to industrial SoHo, the gold-polished marble top oak bar and embossed leather bar stools with nail-head detailing are a high, dignified perch to nurse an Old-Fashioned. The chandeliers were inspired by the New York Public Library, while woven leather banquettes offer a more intimate hangout along the soaring windows and terrazzo floors with nickel strips. It’s a fine place to try something new, with a selection of 50 rare American Whiskeys and carefully crafted cocktails by mixologists Natasha David and Jeremy Oertel. When hunger calls, Grand Bar serves a full menu of locally sourced fare for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.
