Your Table Is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maître D by Michael Cecchi-Azzolina

4.0

As a former worker in the service industry, this book was both insightful and entertaining. Though my experience was at a much different type of establishment (think busy college-hangout bar/grill), there was still so much that resonated with me.

I love New York, so a glimpse into the high-end restaurant industry was very enlightening. The focus on the AIDS crisis in NY in the 80s, and how the author lost many co-workers and friends was hard to hear. It truly felt like I traveled back in time to experience life in a different place and time.

I highly, highly recommend.
