Briana LopezJeffrey TascarellaNext Sunday, the Metropolitan section will introduce a Q. and A. series with New Yorkers whose behind-the-scenes jobs â€" from the service industry to city government â€" help keep the city humming.
First up is Jeffrey Tascarella of the hot spot restaurant the NoMad. As its general manager, he runs the dining room, tries to accommodate unexpected guests and walks the floor, ensuring each night’s 250 patrons leave sated. Ever wonder how people nab hard-to-come-by tables (Is it by bribes, threats or just conscientious planning) Or how the bar keeps over-served celebrities in check Anything else
Submit your questions for Mr. Tascarella in the comments below. We’ll pass on the best, along with some of our own, and publish the answers next weekend.
