Ray Sakover - Paradise Lost - co-owner & Beverage Director
"Ray Sakover is the co-owner and Beverage Director of Paradise Lost, a cocktail bar opening later this year in New York City promising hellfire, whimsical drinks, and a healthy dose of The Cramps. Ray loves r(h)um and all of its "rhapsodies" and enjoys a good craft beer or a solid gin & tonic from time to time. When he isn't planning world domination, Ray listens to The Last Podcast Network, strums some guitar, and avoids Uber doors on his bicycle.
Ray currently lives in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn."
What You'll Learn:
We will explore what escapism looks like in the context of restaurants and bars by beginning with a brief history of the themed bar/restaurant dating back to the late 19th Century and early 20th Century leading up to the 1930s. Then we are going to get into the faux-Polynesian restaurant theme (a.k.a the tiki bar) and its explosion relating to the demand for escapism in the mid-twentieth century. Finally, we will discuss what defines a tiki bar in the 21st century by looking at a handful of bars today (including a sneak-peek into Paradise Lost) while we consider what escapism really means for the modern tropical bar.
