The Next Stop Is... with Jane August

Finding Fun in the Restaurant Biz with La Palapa's Barbara Sibley

Jane August Season 1 Episode 16

Barbara Sibley loves working in the food and beverage industry. As the owner of La Palapa, now celebrating 25 years in business, and creative director at Holiday Cocktail Lounge, she is constantly finding fun in her work. And as restaurants continue to be New Yorkers’ living room, there is so much opportunity to create incredible experiences through food, drink, and hospitality. 

I’m very excited to share this delightful conversation with Barbara where we talk about what makes a successful restaurant, her love for Mexican culture, why cocktails cost $20, and so much more. 

La Palapa is open daily for lunch and dinner. You can follow them on Instagram and make a reservation on their website
