Sommelier

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.
