Alvarez at Union Square in 2005.
BY SUSAN QUINBY
Devoted denizen of the Greenwich Village
community for nearly a century, beloved
member and spirited staffer of the Bagel Restaurant
(“What’s good to eat?!”) for 32 years, lifelong
bachelor and lover of his friends and family, the Plaza
Hotel and all things Kardashian — Jose “Evelio” Alvarez
died on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2019 in New York City
after a brief illness.
Born in Cienfuegos, Cuba to Maria De Los Angeles
Alvarez and Jose Alvarez, Evelio loved traveling, pop
music, movies and theatre, making his acting debut
in “The Night We Never Met” and enjoyed the many
devoted regulars at The Bagel. He loved to talk about
Ellen Barkin who waited tables (as well as the many
movie stars he’d served over many years), serving
French toast and eggs to Lauren Hutton, Robert De
Niro, Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker, Aiden
Quinn, Julia Roberts and John F. Kennedy, Jr.
Special friends for many years, Dr. Lawrence Ottaviano
(and his staff) are among Evelio’s many devoted
fans, with the two amigos sharing tea at The Plaza
as well as trips to visit Evelio’s mother at a nearby
cemetery.
The viewing will take place on Thursday, December
5 from 9-10 a.m. at the Greenwich Village Funeral
Home, 199 Bleecker St., New York, NY 10012.
The Mass will follow, taking place at 10:30 a.m. at
Our Lady of Pompeii, 25 Carmine St., New York, NY
10014, with internment immediately following at the
Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn,
NY 11232.
To honor Evelio’s memory, fl owers may be sent to
the Greenwich Village Funeral Home (by Wednesday,
Dec. 4) or donations may be made to the St. Jude’s
Children’s Research Hospital, 220 East 42 Street,
