American restaurateur, founder of B.R. Guest Hospitality
Steve Hanson is Stephen P. Hanson, the prominent New York City restaurateur who founded B.R. Guest Hospitality (Blue Water Grill, Dos Caminos, Bill's Bar & Burger). Epstein's scheduling documents show Hanson had dozens of in-person appointments with Epstein at his Manhattan residence from at least 2010 through 2017, and the two also socialized with financier Leon Black.
Hanson appears almost entirely in Epstein's personal scheduling calendars and appointment logs, consistently listed for one-on-one meetings at Epstein's New York townhouse — a pattern spanning at least seven years (2010–2017). Several entries show him scheduled alongside Leon Black, including a lunch at Bill's Bar and Burger (one of Hanson's own restaurants at 22 9th Avenue in the Meatpacking District). A small number of personal email exchanges between Hanson and Epstein also appear, including one where Hanson writes casually after landing from LA: 'You around for a call — no rush — when ur free.' Hanson's assistant also coordinated scheduling directly with Epstein's staff.
Key Highlights
- •Hanson had recurring in-person appointments with Epstein at his NYC townhouse from at least 2010 to 2017, typically scheduled for 30–90 minutes
- •A January 2013 calendar entry shows lunch with Steve Hanson and Leon Black at Bill's Bar and Burger — one of Hanson's own B.R. Guest restaurants
- •Personal emails show a casual, familiar tone — Hanson texted Epstein directly from his BlackBerry after flights, and Epstein's staff were reminded to schedule Hanson on a weekly basis
- •Appointments continued through September 2016 and June 2017, well after Epstein's 2008 conviction became widely known
