Bio
Marisa Simkin brings extensive restaurant experience to MONA, having spent the early part of her career working in Front of House Management and New Openings for various restaurant groups. In 2018, she joined Branded Concept Development (BCD) as a Project Manager, collaborating with BCD’s brokerage division to help restaurants navigate the pitfalls of construction in New York City. Marisa joined BCD’s real estate team in early 2020, focusing on tenant representation for restaurant clients. As a broker, Marisa represented Mexicue, Stand Up Burger, Chinah, and Bourke Street Bakery in successful lease negotiations for restaurants around New York City.
A graduate of San Francisco State University, Marisa majored in Hospitality Management, and is always excited to use her experiences in hospitality and construction to evaluate the viability of spaces for her food & beverage clients. Marisa takes special pride in working with women-led enterprises as well as first time restaurateurs.
A California transplant who is eternally obsessed with NYC, Marisa lives in Brooklyn, and spends her free time watching baseball, walking with her dog, and eating.
