New York is slipping from Cleo’s grasp. Sure, she’s at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn’t even have money for cigarettes. But then she meets Frank. Twenty years older, Frank's life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo's lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint and the opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art - and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He is everything she needs right now.

Der wahre Geist der Kneipe ist allerdings Wirtin Rita Urbaniak. Sie übernahm die Kneipe schon in den 1970ern, obwohl sie eigentlich was ganz anderes machen wollte.
