In the vibrant, ever-changing heart of New York City, a quiet yet profound sorrow lingers as the community mourns the passing of Kevin Boylan — a man whose life embodied the very essence of connection, hospitality, and heartfelt generosity.

Kevin was more than a fixture in the city’s hospitality scene — he was its soul. As a co-founder of beloved neighborhood institutions, he didn’t just open doors to restaurants and bars; he opened doors to community, to conversation, to belonging. Whether it was your first time walking in or your hundredth, Kevin had a way of making you feel like you’d come home.

His generosity was quiet but constant — never performative, always sincere. From mentoring young staff members to supporting community causes behind the scenes, Kevin gave in the most meaningful way: by showing up, day after day, with a full heart and open hands.

He leaves behind not only a grieving family and circle of friends, but an entire city that was better for having him in it. His legacy lives on in the places he built, the lives he touched, and the spirit of hospitality he championed — one that welcomed everyone, no questions asked.

In Kevin’s memory, we gather not only in grief, but in deep gratitude — for the joy he brought, the love he shared, and the lasting imprint he leaves on us all.
