PX This.

About the Book

PX This. (diary of the potted plant) is the witty, irreverent (star-studded) four-year journal of a struggling commercial-artist/fashion-designer moonlighting as a Maitre d' at some of Manhattan's most well known restaurants. It is a lighthearted, humorous, and uniquely insightful romp through the nightly playgrounds of some of New York's (and Hollywood's) most glamorous and elite, as viewed from the front podium. Written and delivered in its raw original diary-format, PX This speaks bluntly and flippantly of illustrious restaurateurs and their famous (and not-so-famous) patrons; anyone who has ever walked through the door of one of Manhattan's "hotspots" may very well find him/herself described within its pages.
