Angelo

A proud descendant of Puerto Rican lineage, Angelo left the sun-soaked shores of Tampa for the bustling streets of New York just four years ago. As he eloquently puts it, “It’s twenty hours by car from New York to Tampa, but you’re travelling back fifty years in time.”

By day, he navigates the clatter and clamour of Schwartz Diner with practised ease, a steady hand amid the chaos. But as twilight descends, a transformation unfolds. The enigmatic sister Angel emerges, stepping onto the dimly lit stage of the local club, her voice a haunting echo of melodies from West Side Story, reverberating through the night.
