That Burger Tent Takes Over Idle Hands and Billy Hurricanes

THAT BURGER AT IDLE HANDS AND BILLY HURRICANE’S

When I was a kid my Dad convinced me that about the coolest thing a man could do is own a bar and serve Beer and Burgers. When I turned 16 years old my Pops and I decided that one day we would own that exact bar as Father & Son. Unfortunately my Dad passed away on September 11, 1999 and I am proud to say that on September 16, 2010 I made part of that dream come true when some friends and I opened the Bourbon, Beer and Rock bar, Idle Hands in NYC’s East Village. Now a full year later, on the eve of our 1 Year Anniversary celebration, it brings tears of joy to my eyes to announce that the 2nd half of our dream has now come true.

As of September 8, 2011 my good buddy Dan Peterson is opening his Brooklyn Based Burger biz, That Burger Tent at Idle Hands and Billy Hurricane’s.

Here is the official announcement from Idle Hands:
