We had an intensely good time at New and Improved last night with Erich Haygun and Steve Subrizi, folks.

It was an extra-special night at the ‘tab last night, folks, as Alexander Nemser treated us to his one-man show, “Moshe Feldstein: Icon of Self-Realization.” If you want a summary of what happened… We can’t offer it. You’ll just have to see it for yourself! The jam-packed slam that followed the show was won by Sam Teitel, who …
