Happy Monday neighbors!
I am so excited to share my conversation with Anand Upender, founder + operator of one of my favorite creative projects in the Bay Area, York Street Cafe!
We recently hosted York Street at DD, and I was blown away by Anand's creative vitality, attention to detail, and commitment to building community. Every York Street activation is an opportunity to try something new and meet new people - two of my favorite activities in San Francisco. :)
This was such a fun recording for so many reasons: Anand talked through the origins of his love for food + beverage, the opening and closing of his Vacant-to-Vibrant brick and mortar location, and shares what he's looking for in a new brick and mortar space.
Sidenote: make sure to listen to the 40 minute mark, when Anand and I start sharing some of creative prompts - leading to some new sandwich + drink ideas (my first time capturing the creative process on the podcast)!
Many thanks to Anand for his transparency + vulnerability. We'll be hosting another event with York Street in a few weeks so stay tuned!
See you soon!
