Welcome back to Guyset and my first ever interview!
Michael Cecchi-Azzolina is the author of Your Table is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maître D' and opens his new restaurant Cecchi's in the West Village today! We talk about everything from his encounters with Mick Jagger, Anna Delvey, Common, and Meghan Markle to New York City in the 80s and drugs in Tompkins Square Park at 4 AM. This was well beyond what I expected for my first interview. Michael was ready to talk about anything, you're in for a ride.
