No Reservations
Hello friends, how are we all doing today? Our names are Anna and Ryan, and we'll be serving you today... serving you the TEA, that is! This is "No Reservations," a podcast devoted to shedding light onto the server experience. But we're not here to trash talk bars! Just people. You'll hear some of our stories about what it's like to work as a bartender in NYC, while we chug signature cocktails and try to make each other laugh. If you have ever worked in a restaurant, this should be cathartic for you! If you haven't... strap in. With a new guest every week, you're sure to hear some fun stories!
