Okay I'll be honest, when I first saw this book was a memoir by a maitre d I said to myself there's no way this book is going to be interesting. But turns out it was a total page turner! I buzzed through this book quicker than normal. This book is part expose of the service industry (think Anthony Bourdain's kitchen confidential but for front of house), part memoir, and part history of New York City. It was fun entertaining and informative and I would absolutely recommend reading this book!
