Going above and beyond
Levy entered the restaurant industry at just 17 and quickly made a name
for herself. In 2008, she helped open Hungry Mother in Cambridge. Two
years later, she started at the acclaimed Eastern Standard Kitchen &
Drinks, where she worked her way up to be its third-ever bar manager
and helped nab several honors. In 2016, she founded Beyond the Mixing
Glass, a consulting company that provides corporate team-building
through hands-on mixology lessons. Most recently, she’s been the
driving force behind the development of Better Sorts Social Club in
downtown Boston.
