Bio
Winston Gitonga has enjoyed over 20 years in hospitality industry working throughout New York at esteemed restaurants such as Morell Wine Bar, Tao Asian Bistro and STK Steak in every capacity from back to front. With his zeal for entrepreneurship, Winston created his first solo venture in 2005 with Shiftdrink.com, a web based company that catered to hospitality professionals. With the success of Shiftdrink.com, Winston opened his own bar, MYBAR, in Chelsea on the west side of Manhattan. An unfortunate clause in his lease for MYBAR caused him to lose the space. Determined to never let that happen again, Winston began to study retail leasing and obtain his New York State Real Estate License. He now enjoys helping fellow restaurateurs avoid the same pitfalls when seeking spaces. Winston resides in the suburbs of Jersey City with his wife their young daughter.
