Crossing Delancey

This amusing romantic comedy tells the story of Isabelle, a modern woman, who is still unmarried, and whose life revolves around the New York bookshop she works in and the intellectual friends and authors she meets there. Her overly concerned grandmother, whose heart is in the right place, decides to hire a good old-fashioned Jewish matchmaker to help Isabelle’s love-life along, and introduces her to Sam the pickle vendor (a very good
catch…!) As Isabelle confronts her heritage, she begins to learn that a grandmother’s advice may not always be so bad, afterall. The play was also made into the 1988 movie, starring Amy Irving and Peter Riegert.
