From founding the influential NYC music venue The Knitting Factory, to creating his hospitality empire City Winery, Michael Dorf knows how to create spaces that last. During a sweltering summer afternoon in New York City, I put on my hard hat and sat down with Michael at the construction site of his latest City Winery location for a career-spanning conversation. We touched on everything from his wild ride in the music business, to almost missing out on booking Prince, and how he’s still creating experiences that excite and entertain your senses. Listen to learn more than a thing or two about success from one of the most impressive hospitality professionals I’ve had the pleasure to get to know.
