Our Story
Brian Rosenberg is the founder and president of BRNY, an all-in-one hospitality brand impact and marketing companycurrently the leading firm of its kind on Long Island.

At present, the company’s clientele list includes a number of New York’s most celebrated Restaurants, Hotels, Catering Halls, Concert Halls & Arenas. Brian is one of the top talent agent /manager and concert promoters since 1984
Over the course of 25 years, Mr. Rosenberg achieved a reputation in New York’s hospitality industry as one of its foremost experts. He was employed by the prominent Garden City Hotel - Long Island’s leading luxury hotel - from 1990-2007, during which time Mr. Rosenberg’s titles included Managing Director of Food & Beverage, Vice President of Special Projects, Vice President of Operations, and finally, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. In each of these capacities, Rosenberg was called upon by ownership to bring to life their evolving vision of the property’s entertainment assets, fine dining establishments, and catering and sales departments, respectively; each of which he successfully achieved with historically unmatched results. Mr. Rosenberg was credited with being at the core of achieving an unsurpassed $32 million in annual revenue for the property. His accomplishments at the hotel also included supervision of a multi-million-dollar renovation of the property’s grand lobby and two upscale restaurants. Subsequently, the new restaurants were then marketed and rebranded by Rosenberg, both of which were enormously successful and met with previously unparalleled critical acclaim from both Zagat and the New York Times, among many others.
Additionally, Mr. Rosenberg served as general manager and promoter of the hotel’s former nightclub for over 16 years. Most notably, he was responsible for the progressive rebranding and marketing of the venue, which he continued to revitalize over the years keeping in line with modern nightlife trends. From its inception as Club G in 1990, to its final incarnation, Posh Ultralounge, which closed in 2007, the nightclub was regarded as the most popular nightlife experience on Long Island. Rosenberg’s high-profile A-list parties, such as those featuring the casts of The Sopranos and S*x and the City, helped to keep the venue competing with the top nightclubs in the New York Metropolitan area.
Prior to 1990, Rosenberg promoted nightclubs and concerts in every genre of music - from rock to hip-hop and dance music – in and around the New York City nightlife scene, building himself a solid resume of success with many iconic nightclubs, such as the famed Studio 54. Some of his most notable concert events included the talent of such industry legends as Bon Jovi, Madonna and LL Cool J.
Mr. Rosenberg was executive producer, host and creator of the Island Underground, a radio program syndicated to 14 major market stations from 1998-2003 by New York’s WLIR 107.1 FM and Party 105.3 FM. Though Rosenberg would embark on this project initially as a hobby and creative outlet, his unique mix show/talk show format was awarded the Best Mix Show of the Year at the annual Winter Music Conference in 1998. In January of 2009, Rosenberg began a new radio show, Bring on the Night, which is a carry-over of the Island Underground, albeit an evolved version of the original format.
Mr. Rosenberg has maintained a position as of board director for the Long Island Convention & Visitors Bureau and Sports Commission, the region’s official tourism promotion agency along with Nightlife and Entertainment Ambassador of Nassau County. Recently, Rosenberg introduced the formation of RADD, Restaurants Against Drunk Driving, which is working closely with Kathleen Rice, Nassau County’s District Attorney, to help thwart drunk driving.
In 2012, Mr. Rosenberg was featured in Pulse Magazine. Newsday called him the hospitality guru and Long Island's Mr. Nightlife.
Brian is currently owner and managing partner at Love Nightclub in Carle Place, formerly known as Sugar Dining Den & Social Club.
