Blue Ribbon Brasserie

Employee of the Month: Blue Ribbon Brasserie’s Bartender, James Shrum (Video)

"On November 3, 1992—Election Day here in the U.S.—Bruce and Eric Bromberg opened Blue Ribbon Brasserie for service on 97 Sullivan Street in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. Since then, the restaurant has served dinner from the hours of 4:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. every day. 'It was unique in that what we did in the very beginning was serve dinner until four in the morning—and we did it at a level that no one else had ever seen before,' says David Brown, manager of Blue Ribbon Federal Grill, located on the ground floor of the AKA Wall Street. It was at the Brasserie where the Brombergs instilled the 'there’s something for everyone' approach; menu items range from a hamburger deluxe and fried chicken with collard greens to gorgeous seafood towers and rack of lamb." - The MICHELIN Guide
