With a wealth of hospitality knowledge, a love of New England, a passion for culinary excellence, and a dedication to the finest inn experience, the Inn at Hastings Park’s team is dedicated to welcoming you and enhancing your visit with us in every way.

Owner

Trisha Pérez Kennealy

Although owning Inn at Hastings Park is Trisha’s first official foray into hospitality, her life experience has perfectly prepared her for this profession. She’s one part business entrepreneur with an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and one part chef having earned her Diplôme de Cuisine and Diplôme de Pâtisserie at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School in London. However, it’s Trisha’s lifestyle and values that have prepared her above and beyond all else. Trisha grew up in Puerto Rico and spent much of her childhood with her multi-generational family enjoying great food and sharing stories. From Puerto Rico, Trisha’s family moved to Lexington, and years later, when it was time for Trisha and her husband, Mike, to decide where they would raise their three children, the decision was easy. Trisha and Mike love Lexington for its sense of civic engagement, its reverence for its rich history, and its eclectic mixture of cultures, religions, and people. With the Inn at Hastings Park, Trisha can share her love of Lexington and her passion for good food and gracious hospitality with travelers from around the world.

Executive Chef

Alissa Tsukakoshi

As the Executive Chef of Town Meeting Bistro, Alissa Tsukakoshi is excited to create dishes that reflect the ambiance of the Inn at Hastings Park – historically inspired, yet modern and comforting. Alissa grew up in a family that loves to eat and cook. Seeing cooking more as a fun hobby, Alissa originally didn’t have intentions of working in a professional kitchen and instead went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in English from the University of Michigan and a Masters in Creative Writing from Boston University. It was her time working as a counselor at a behavioral treatment center for adolescent girls that inspired her to make a career switch. Each night a staff member would cook dinner for the entire dorm with a few of the students. In these moments Alissa witnessed the joy that cooking brought to the students, which made her want to cook for others even more. Alissa began her culinary journey at Solea Restaurant & Tapas Bar in Waltham before cutting her teeth in high-end dining in the Boston area at Lumière and L’Espalier. After spending nearly five years in Boston kitchens, Alissa found her way to Nantucket where she worked at American Seasons under Neil Ferguson. Over the next four years on the island, she gained additional experience as a sous chef, pastry cook, and with pasta before coming back ashore to Boston to work as a sushi chef and fish butcher. Joining the Inn as a sous chef, Alissa’s passion for the craft and her innate hospitality quickly proved she was ready to become the executive chef of the Inn’s Town Meeting Bistro. As a leader in the kitchen, Alissa is not afraid to get creative and “reckless,” but also knows how to show restraint to produce dishes that come together coherently and elegantly.
