Yesterday morning, in front of Borough Hall, there was singing and dancing in anticipation of Passover.
I didn’t understand a word of the songs, but the music had that timeless Hammond organ feeling, more enthusiastic than subtle, more Yankee Stadium than Carnegie Hall. Good entertainment for a couple minutes.

Time’s running out on this car wash deal; Passover will be here before you know it. Whether you’re vacuuming the car in preparation (ridding it of leavened bread crumbs and other matter) or just doing a spring cleaning, the special is available to all.
What is it about cars and food, anyway? It’s not usually about hunger, but more of a Pavlovian response. To sit in a car brings out the urge eat or drink, and sometimes seek out a drive-through, so you can procure food without leaving the coziness of your living room on wheels.
