With deep market knowledge and relationships throughout NYC’s food & beverage, nightlife, and retail sectors, we bring an insider perspective on what drives foot traffic, brand visibility, and long-term success.

Testimonials

Marco Britti, About Cary Tamura

“I’ve worked with many brokers over the years, but few bring the level of commitment, insight, and follow-through that Cary consistently delivers. As the owner of Calle Dao as many as five other restaurants simultaneously, I’ve relied on his expertise to help navigate the complex and highly competitive New York City retail landscape. Cary understands what makes a space viable long-term, but also brings a deep understanding of neighborhoods, foot traffic patterns, and landlord expectations that makes all the difference in finding the right fit.

What truly sets Cary apart is his ability to listen carefully to our needs and translate them into real opportunities—never wasting time and always advocating in our best interest. He has become a trusted advisor to me and my team, and someone I turn to not just for space, but for strategy. I wholeheartedly recommend Cary to any landlord, restaurateur or retail operator looking for a broker who combines professionalism with hustle, and who genuinely understands what it takes to succeed in this business.”


Michael Dezayas, About Evan Franca

“Evan Franca and The Tamura Team listed and sold two businesses for me in 2025–a café in Manhattan and a wine shop in Brooklyn. These were two big wins for us that closed within 2-3 months of listing. I feel so lucky Evan was there for me.

I’m a serial entrepreneur–I’ve opened 26 stores!–and in past years I’ve used brokers before – both successful sales using two other different brokers. Evan was by far the best experience for me. Here’s why: he is also an entrepreneur, and he gets me. He was on my side the whole time. The times I got a little cuckoo–as I can do when big numbers are at stake, and also when I get clingy with these businesses that I built and suddenly feel anxious about separating from–he was a steady captain steering me through the weeks between listing and sale. He has been through it all before, and I’m blessed he is in the broker industry to guide me through these two deals.

Here’s why I am absolutely one thousand percent going back to Evan when it’s time to sell the next one: he set the pricing of both businesses accurately; he quickly connected us with serious, qualified buyers; then he negotiated strong deals that respected the value we’d built over the years. His communication was always fast and clear, his guidance was honest, and his instincts were spot-on. If you’re considering selling a business, Evan is a crazy-good choice.”


Panos Stogioglou, About Yanni Kiskini

“It was a true pleasure working with Yanni Kiskini during my search for a commercial space in SoHo for my café concept. I couldn’t be happier with the space he helped secure—it was exactly what I was looking for, and the process was seamless thanks to him. Yanni’s deep market knowledge in both the hospitality and real estate industries consistently sets him apart. His extensive network of high-level contacts make him a trusted and invaluable asset in any deal!”


Michael Pagan, About Natasha Belizaire

“I had the pleasure of working with Natasha on a recent real estate transaction and I can stay with complete confidence that she is one of the most impressive professionals I’ve encountered in this industry. From our first interaction, Natasha demonstrated an unmatched level of responsiveness, professionalism, and focus. She approaches every task with a sense of urgency and care that instantly sets her apart. Whether it was coordinating showings, submitting offers or working through time, sensitive negotiations Natasha consistently moved out a pace that kept the momentum going without ever sacrificing attention to detail. 

What impressed me most was her ability to anticipate potential challenges and proactively offer solutions. She has a true talent for navigating complex deals with ease and transparency, which made the process not only smooth, but enjoyable. After seeing firsthand the quality of her work and the speed with which she gets things done I didn’t hesitate to ask her to support me with additional projects. I brought her on to consult on other real estate matters and she continues to exceed expectations each time.

If you’re looking for someone who is driven, capable, and genuinely committed to delivering results, Natasha is the person you want on your side.”
