Episode 220: The Man Who Made New York Special—Bobby Short at 100

No one made New Yorkers feel better than Bobby Short. For 36 years there was no more quintessential New York experience than seeing him perform at the Café Carlyle, and Scott Asen remembers the great man on the occasion of what would have been his 100th birthday. Then Elena Clavarino reports on another side of living in Manhattan: losing a place you love. For more than 20 years, En Japanese Brasserie has served amazing food and attracted a Who’s Who of New York’s arts scene, from Lou Reed to Yoko Ono to Q-Tip. Now, however, it is closing—and not by choice. Finally, Linda Wells joins us to reveal everything new in the world of beauty and wellness.
