For this special Dominican Independence Day episode of #LatinosOutLoud, @RachelLaLoca met with fellow Quisqueyano, Jeff Garcia, Executive Director

Mayor’s Office of Nightlife & NYC Department of Small Business Services. The two were welcomed by one of NYC's 26,000 restaurant owners, Jay Espinal of Tasca on the Upper West Side to chat it up barside. If you or someone you know is a small business owner in NYC, you will want to hear this episode start to finish. Jeff shares lots of valuable information, including tons of helpful resources for business owners! Jeff also shares the story of his rough childhood, becoming a NYC undercover detective, business owner, philanthropist and how he's attained the title MAYOR OF NYC NIGHTLIFE!
