This Sunday, October 25, at 9 PM ET, Culinary Confidential host Christina Cates celebrates Women in Small Business Month with the three powerhouse founders of HUSH Venues — PS Ives, Tiffany Skrela, and Sara Altobelli.
HUSH Venues is a female-owned luxury real-estate company specializing in sourcing and leasing extraordinary New York City spaces for high-profile fashion shows, brand activations, lavish galas, private celebrations, and corporate gatherings. In a market where real estate is everything and access is everything else, these three longtime friends and colleagues have carved out their own lane, connecting clients with some of Manhattan’s most desirable and hard-to-find properties.
But this conversation goes well beyond beautiful rooms.
Christina and the HUSH founders dig into what it actually takes for three ambitious women to form a partnership, build a business in one of the world’s most competitive cities, and turn a shared vision into something tangible. They’ll talk about the hustle, the relationships, the calculated risks, the inevitable challenges, and the delicate balance of bringing different strengths to the same table — while each staying true to her own voice.
Because finding the right space is an art. It takes an eye for possibility, an understanding of what makes a property special, and the connections to bring the right people and places together. As someone who has spent her career in hospitality, Christina has always believed the setting matters: the right room can change the entire energy of an experience before the first guest walks through the door.
