Help Sebastian Greco Recover From His Accident

Hello New York industry family!

Many of you know a beloved friend and super talented from Atlanta, the lovely Mr. Sebastian Greco. I first met Sebastian during Unofficial Bartender’s Week (remember how awesome that was?!) like seven or eight years ago, and he’s become a close friend and an incredible supporter of our bar scene here in the city. There’s a 95% chance you’ve seen him either at your bar or late night at Holiday or Extra Fancy, and like a 10% chance he was still wearing his shirt when you saw him.

Anyway, Sebastian came to visit us here in the city two weeks ago, and because he’s THE BEST, he came up to my bar on Sunday to help out behind the stick and rocked the place. The next day he and his equally amazing partner Kendall flew home to Atlanta, and after a delayed flight (of course), they landed and hopped into an Uber.

Well, somebody was driving a stolen car, and long, horrific story short, they blew a light at high speed and crashed right into Sebastian and Kendall’s car. Thank goodness they are both (relatively) alright, but Sebastian suffered some pretty bad injuries: broken sternum, fractured clavicle, three cracked ribs. Could be worse, but still pretty bad.

Well, Sebastian told me this and didn’t ask for help, but I know he could use it, so I’m trying to rally his industry friends both in NYC and all over to chip in if they can to help with his expenses and medical bills (because America is broken and we still don’t have universal healthcare, but that’s a whole other issue), so I’m asking you all to help if you are able to and get Sebastian back on his feet and off with his shirt!

Also, if you donate anything, your next cocktail at Bird In Hand is on me.

Thank you so much, and Happy Thanksgiving!

With love

Matty
