McHoboken captures the essence of a small, family-run coffee shop in New Jersey that is on the verge of going out of business. Stella"s first opened its doors back in 1941, the same year Joe DiMaggio set a 56-consecutive-game hitting streak. However, shortly after Gianni and Stella Russo began their American Dream, they found themselves torn apart by his deployment overseas to fight in World War II. As fate would have it, their grandson Johnny, the rookie second baseman on the NY Yankees, is on a quest not only to break DiMaggio"s record but to save his family"s coffee shop in the process… The story revolves around an assortment of touching characters from both the past and present. Each accentuates why this little place is indeed special, with one satirical character that foils its warmth. This story about coffee, baseball and Hoboken makes for a perfect blend.
