The Next Stop Is... with Jane August
New York City is full of a multitude of different neighborhoods, industries, and worlds that we probably never even thought about.
While traveling the five boroughs on the quest to visit every museum in New York City, content creator Jane August has crossed paths with tastemakers and experts from various fields from architecture to restaurants to maritime to nightlife.
On the new podcast, “The Next Stop Is...”, Jane is pulling back the curtain on some of the most fascinating industries and people in New York City and beyond, interviewing local legends and creative up-and-comers. There are endless things to do, see, and learn in the city. Sometimes you just have to miss your stop to find them.

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