Light streams through the windows as the espresso machine roars;
a gorgeous, rich scent fills the air; and witty conversation
unspools over the porcelain cups.
That's the cafe dream. Mark and Nina are about to experience the
reality. Determined to re-create the perfect Viennese coffeehouse,
they descend on New York's gritty but hip Lower East Side to
educate the locals on authentic cafe culture. Soon Mark and Nina
are in a downward spiral that will strip them of money, friends,
sex life, status, shelter, and, finally, sanity--and offer
salvation through something they have never experienced:
disaster.
Inspired by the author's own coffeehouse hell, "Ground Up" is a
sharp and funny portrait of a New York constantly reinventing
itself, and a surprisingly tender story of falling out of love and
back in it again.
