Will get back to you about the comedy piece. A couple of questions, though, about the Hasidic piece:

-When is the Sub On Wheels open? Closed?
-Glaubers: How long has it been around (specifically), and when will it reopen (specifically)?

Thanks,
Paul

I recently did an interview with Brooklyn-based comedian Jamie Kilstein, who recently came back from touring Australia with Janeane Garofalo, as well as his wife Allison Kilkenny, the Huffington Post blogger who also co-hosts a radio show with him (they have Chomsky as a regularly guest). I asked them about politics, comedy, and being a 21st century liberal power couple, plus a few other things. Would you be interested in a piece on the two of them? I can get some more answers out of them if you've got another particular angle you'd like pursued; otherwise, was thinking of doing it as a profile piece with the power couple angle. Let me know what you think.

By all means, any pitches about NY culture—ideally with an experiential bent—are welcomed. As a side note, we are now AV Club NY, not Decider. (Just like the old days.)

Do you guys have anything you'd like to assign at the moment, or would you like me to send you another idea? Also, are you accepting queries for any other sections aside from dining?

Howdy-

The first is indeed true and was reported by a couple of outlets: http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/30/44/30_44cookonwheels.html

The format of the Rabbi's sermon is the same that I used: http://www.interfaithpower.org/Klein%20sermon.pdf

Hi Barrett: I like the article, but I have a couple of questions:

-"Prompted by theological opposition to snacking, old Hasidic men often try to run off the customers; if you've ever wanted to be run off by an old Hasidic man, this is your chance."
Is this true? How do you know this? Is the first part a joke, but the second part true?

-"As was written by Rabbi Zoe Klein [LINK] a few years back, in more or less poetic format:"
Was this actually written in this format, or did you add the line breaks?

Thanks,
Paul
