BRASS (recently opened- September 2024) a not-so-traditional brasserie coming to a historic Nomad hotel from an acclaimed culinary team, is seeking experienced, career oriented Wine Professionals. Joining its sister The Tusk Bar, newly named one of Esquire’s best bars in America, at the Evelyn Hotel, BRASS will pay homage to the grand dining rooms of Gilded Age New York. Taking inspiration from the improvisational spirit of the Jazz Age, BRASS’s striking white table-clothed room balances uptown grandeur with downtown energy. The chefs’ playful and informal style of cooking at BRASS will be guided by, but without strictly adhering to, the influence of French brasseries. 

With Michelin starred culinary partners (co-chefs Jeremiah Stone and Fabian Von Hauske Valtierra, the duo behind the Lower East Side’s Wildair) and an experienced Front of House team, we are looking for exceptional team members to join the project who share our dedication, passion for hospitality and a desire to grow with this ambitious hotel project.
