When Phill Errigo -- who grew up in Huguenot cooking sauce on Sundays with his father and siblings -- heard of the North Shore revitalization, he knew he wanted "a piece of the pie." "At the time, I was working in back office finance in the city. When I was in college, I worked as a waiter and bartender so I always enjoyed working with people and the nightlife atmosphere," said Errigo.

"I did some research, and I saw they were putting money into Urby. I saw what they were doing with all the development down by the ferry. I figured it was an opportunity for a guy like me, who didn't have a name yet, to get my foot in early, and build up my name before people with money come down to open here," said Errigo.
