Episode 115: The Schmucks Take Manhattan, With Moe Aljaff and Juliette Larrouy

We’re continuing our coverage of the 2025 Imbibe 75 with this conversation featuring Moe Aljaff and Juliette Larrouy, who (with business partner Dan Binkiewicz) are opening Schmuck in New York City in late January. An original founder of Two Schmucks in Barcelona, Aljaff and former Two Schmucks bar manager Larrouy join us for this episode to talk about Schmuck’s origin story, their mission to translate a European culinary approach to a New York City cocktail bar, and how the bar and its menu are extensions of their personalities.
