ANNE BOOTH CATERING
Meet the Team
Daimon Jackson
Line Cook
It was a cousin who brought Daimon to Anne's team in 2016. The people are the best part of the job, he'll tell you ~ and the wings and marinated steak are his favorites from the menu. (Although he personally prefers chicken!) One interesting non-food fact? He was Olympic champion in elementary school in track and related activities.
Loren Borruso
Front of House
On the job since 2018 ~ Joe Ezell introduced her to Anne ~ Loren finds the best parts of her work ~ the people, the view. In the food area, the hanger steak gets high marks, and, from the catering menu, she's partial to the tuna and salmon dishes. A lover of cats ~ her spirit animal, she says ~ she feeds and hangs with her furry friends outside the Harlem Yacht Club.
Jack Green
Front of House
Starting in 2016 working with Anne at the Harlem Yacht Club, Jack started as a bus boy, and then became a waiter. The familiar faces at the Club include his family ~ a definite plus in the job. Although admittedly not a salad person, Jack favors the grilled chicken avocado salad on the menu. A fascinating fact? Jack studied abroad during his college time ~ in Russia!
Joe Ezell
Front of House
On the team since 2017, Joe loves the people aspect of the job: the team he works with and the people he meets. His favorite food on the menu? His own creation, of course, the "Joe Boy" sandwich: fried cod with bacon, picked jalapeño, tartar sauce and slaw on Balthazar baguette. His fun fact? He was the spelling bee champ in 1994!
Grover Gongora
Desserts / Salads
Although he started working with Anne in 2022 ~ a job that he enjoys very much ~ Grover has been in the food industry for decades. His favorite on the menu: linguini with shrimp: "a little butter, black pepper ~ love that!" Outside of work he coaches soccer, having the credentials to do that: he played soccer in his home country of Bolivia.
Eduardo Nolasco
Front of House
As of Summer 2024, Eduardo has been an awesome addition to our team!. He is an experienced bartender who makes the best mocktails — you won’t even miss the alcohol! From the menu, Eduardo loves Daimon’s wings and his favorite drink to make is a margarita. His fun fact is that he has lived on city island for the last 8-10 years.
Alejandro Gongora
Front of House
Alejandro is Grover’s son. He loves the Baja steak salad that his dad makes! He lives in Pelham with Grover and he is studying to get his CPA. Alejandro loves the down-to-earth, family environment here at HYC.
Juno Chong
Front of House
Juno has been coming to Harlem Yacht Club since she was a child as her mom, Anne Booth, runs the restaurant. Her favorite foods at the club are the fajitas and the broccoli slaw. An artist at heart she enjoys ceramics, painting, singing and theater. Juno's favorite parts of the club are the sunsets and the camaraderie among the employees.
