    Dan Leonard Dan Leonard Knew a Career in the Hospitality Industry

    Dan Leonard Dan Leonard knew a career in the hospitality industry was a good fit from the moment he began washing dishes at his neighbor’s bar at an early age. He was drawn to the fast- paced environment, working with a variety people and the never-ending challenges and rewards that restaurant/hotel professionals encounter on a daily basis. Dan began his hospitality career at his neighborhood McDonald’s restaurant in Chicago, where he learned and practiced the McDonald’s corporate motto and operating philosophy of QSC&V (Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value), which he carried on throughout his career. While attending Triton College, Dan moved into the full-service restaurant segment at The Rusty Scupper Restaurant in River Grove, Ill. During his 15-year career at The Rusty Scupper, Dan started as a cook and worked his way up to a management position. He later joined Planet Hollywood Restaurant Company at their inception and helped grow the chain from three restaurants to over 40. Highlights include opening and operating the chain’s highest grossing restaurant at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., before being promoted to east coast regional director, overseeing the expansion and operations of over 15 restaurants from New York City to Key West, Fla. For the past 20 years, Dan has been with Margaritaville Hospitality Group. He was hired as the opening general manager of Margaritaville at Universal Studios in Florida with a goal of spearheading future growth. Dan was promoted to president of Margaritaville Hospitality in 2007 and now focuses on the growth, operations and profitability of the brands expanding lodging division.

    THE BRILL BUILDING, 1619 Broadway (Aka 1613-23 Broadway, 207-213 West 49Th Street), Manhattan Built 1930-31; Architect, Victor A

    Landmarks Preservation Commission March 23, 2010, Designation List 427 LP-2387 THE BRILL BUILDING, 1619 Broadway (aka 1613-23 Broadway, 207-213 West 49th Street), Manhattan Built 1930-31; architect, Victor A. Bark, Jr. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1021, Lot 19 On October 27, 2009 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Brill Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark site. The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Three people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of the owner, New York State Assembly Member Richard N. Gottfried, and the Historic Districts Council. There were no speakers in opposition to designation.1 Summary Since its construction in 1930-31, the 11-story Brill Building has been synonymous with American music – from the last days of Tin Pan Alley to the emergence of rock and roll. Occupying the northwest corner of Broadway and West 49th Street, it was commissioned by real estate developer Abraham Lefcourt who briefly planned to erect the world’s tallest structure on the site, which was leased from the Brill Brothers, owners of a men’s clothing store. When Lefcourt failed to meet the terms of their agreement, the Brills foreclosed on the property and the name of the nearly-complete structure was changed from the Alan E. Lefcourt Building to the, arguably more melodious sounding, Brill Building. Designed in the Art Deco style by architect Victor A. Bark, Jr., the white brick elevations feature handsome terra-cotta reliefs, as well as two niches that prominently display stone and brass portrait busts that most likely portray the developer’s son, Alan, who died as the building was being planned.
