Crossing Delancey

A Charming Romantic Comedy Rooted in New York’s Jewish Community

New York, NY – A witty and heartfelt romantic comedy brings audiences into the life of Isabelle “Izzy” Grossman, a single thirty-something navigating love, family, and tradition in late 20th century Manhattan.

Izzy, who works at a prestigious bookstore, divides her time between her West Side apartment and visiting her beloved grandmother on the Lower East Side. While she is drawn to Anton, a married, worldly author, her grandmother enlists a matchmaker to introduce her to Sam, a humble pickle vendor whose grounded nature challenges Izzy’s perceptions of romance and fulfillment.

Adapted by Susan Sandler from her acclaimed play and directed by Joan Micklin Silver, the film stars Golden Globe nominee Amy Irving alongside Peter Riegert. The ensemble cast also features Reizl Bozyk, David Hyde-Pierce, Sylvia Miles, and Rosemary Harris, each contributing to the film’s vibrant portrayal of community and culture.

Celebrated for its humor, warmth, and authentic depiction of Jewish life in New York, the film continues to resonate with audiences who appreciate stories of love, identity, and the timeless clash between modern aspirations and traditional values.
