Crossing Delancey

33-year-old single Isabelle Grossman, who works at a small but prestigious Manhattan bookstore, is a modern, emancipated woman who doesn't need a career or a man to fulfill or define her as a person. If a man does enter her life, she will let it happen, and she would like that man to be the "very separated" Anton Maes, a celebrated local writer whose outward bohemian attitude could be a come-on or just the way he is as a person with everyone. Meanwhile. her Lower-East-Side grandmother "Bubbie" hires matchmaker Hannah Mandelbaum, who promptly sets Isabelle up with pickler Sam Posner. While Sam admits that he is attracted to Isabelle and pursues her ardently, she can't see beyond the fact that he's a set-up and a pickle-vendor. And when she finally can see beyond these and finds a cute, nice man she wants to get to know, it may be too late as Sam may be able to sense Isabelle's apprehension to stick around for long. And is Anton in or out of the picture?
