About
SARID DRORY

He developed six successful companies in this category, selling them at a
profit. As a European citizen, he pursued his passion for high-end restaurant
industryacquiring wine and beverage skills in France and Italy, and then
emigrated to New York City to apply his studies and experiences..
Since that time, Drory has cultivated a prestigious history of success in the
New York City restaurant scene.  His first purchase was Ye Waverly Inn from
the family who had run the establishment for three generations.

Due to his strategic upgrades to the restaurant, including the installation of the
famed garden, Drory created a popular New York hot spot and tripled the
revenue in three years.

After 14 years for ownership, he sold Ye Waverly Inn for seven figures. Next,
Drory bought The Cub Room restaurant from renowned chef, Henry Meer for
$1.25 million.

After a year of ownership he had increased the revenue by 70%. Totaling in
8,000 square feet, The Cub Room housed a 3,000 square foot dining area, a
lounge with a bar which was further expanded by Drory, with 89 types of scotch
and 94 types of vodka.

An organic café occupied the third room, which became a favorite hangout
area for New Yorkers. After about ten years Drory sold the restaurant for
$2.5 million.

Drory’s next restaurant and renovation project was Greenwich café, a 24-
hour café, which became a well- loved spot by its downtown West Village
community.

Barbara Walters even chose the restaurant to host a 4-hour, on-location live
show where the community played an integral part of the broadcast.

The initial project cost for the restaurant was $350,000 and it was sold for
$1.8 million, adding to Drory’s portfolio.

Along with Lesly Bernard, best known for Pravda and Clementine, and Herb
Wilson, formerly of Bambou and Jack’s Fifth, Drory next remade Greenwich
into NYC, which was acquired for $2.2 million.

Drory’s other projects have included two Italian restaurants, located in East
and West Village, and called Tanti Baci.

Drory brought in special cooks from a village in Palermo, Italy, where his
father was raised, to enhance the romantic feel of the restaurant.

The two restaurants were a big success after 14 years of operating and were
sold for $1.8 million each.

One of Drory’s latest projects is Artisanal Bistro, located on 2 Park Avenue,
noted as NYC’s first artisanal food entries.

After acquiring Artisanal, Drory made many improvements in the first 40
days, including saving $1.2 million by cutting expenses and adding
enhancements to the environment for the clientele that love Artisanal.

Menu enhancements by Drory include offering 81 types of wine by glass to
match the existing menu of 197 types of cheese; expert bakers from Breads
to add to the wine and cheese experience; and increasing the wine selection
list to include top shelf cognac and scotch.

Drory hired Adam Tihany, the famed hospitality designer who originally
designed the space, to renovate Artisanal. 

Additional contracts in the works include two downtown hotspots; Spitzer’s
Corner on 101 Rivington Street and Los Feliz on 109 Ludlow Street.  

Spitzer’s was bought for $5.2 million and Los Feliz for $2.8 million. Sarid
also bought the club Fat Baby for $3 million.
Drory will be moving Artisanal to a better and bigger location on Park
Avenue, because Sarid would like to share the space with a substantial retail
space for cheese and pastries by Fall 2016.
