Reese has concentrated on the restaurant industry since leaving the entertainment industry. He has owned and runs several eateries, clubs, and pubs, mostly in the New York City region.
Previously, he was the proprietor of Paladar, a Pan-Latino eatery in Manhattan’s Lower East Side that closed in 2011. He also ran the Towbar nightclub on Leroy Street and Seventh Avenue South.
After it shut down in 2005, he opened a short-lived Avenue A lounge in the East Village named Destination Bar and Grille. Even The Luxury Box, his sports bar, shuttered its doors in 2015.
