LOGLINE

A sharp-witted newcomer navigates the chaotic restaurant scene, uncovering a world of secrets, hustlers, and absurd survival tactics.

OVERVIEW

Alphabet City is an offbeat satire set inside New York’s chaotic dining scene, where bureaucracy and absurd survival tactics collide. When Alexis Marín — sharp, restless, and unwilling to play by the rules — becomes a health inspector, she finds herself in a surreal battleground of secrets, hustlers, and moral absurdities. Both a dark comedy and procedural satire, the series skewers public vs. private good while questioning how much order we really want in a world that thrives on chaos.
