CaB magazine
(Cultural Audience Bulletin)
CaB magazine was one of the first publications I ever wrote for. Published by my dear friend Andrew Martin, it covered the Cabaret, Theater, Music and Dining scene in New York City, long before slick publications like Time Out NY and Where NY became popular. We had great fun writing it, and some wonderful writers contributed to its pages. When the magazine folded in the mid-90s, Andrew disappeared from the scene, and rumors had it that he departed from this existence not long after. I was thrilled to find out in mid-October 2005, a decade later, that the rumors were just that. Andrew contacted me after finding my site via that omnipresent force, Google. He's alive and well and a member of a comedy troupe called Meet the Mistake. Somehow quite fitting!
My contribution was primarily, though not solely, restaurant reviews. The disks that held these vanished long ago, so recreating the columns is a matter of typing time available. Many of the restaurants have also vanished, others still flourish. Enjoy!
