Emelin Theatre

Named one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch” in 2024, Rachel Feinstein has become one of stand-up’s sharpest and most distinctive voices. Her Netflix special Big Guy premiered in May 2024 and landed on Netflix’s Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S., where it remained for more than a week—bringing her fast, fearless, character-driven comedy to an even wider audience.
Feinstein’s comedy comes from the beautifully chaotic parts of real life: marriage, motherhood, family, and the absurdity of being married to a firefighter whose second family is the firehouse. With vivid characters, elastic voices, and sharply observed storytelling, she turns the people around her into a full comic universe—specific, recognizable, and very funny.

Estate planning is way too important to neglect. Do not trust non-attorneys or online services to handle your estate plan – the consequences may be dire. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.

Estate Planning: 5 Essential Things You Should Know

Bergen Performing Arts Center

Friday, October 2, 2026, 7:00 PM:
 
Exclusive in-store event showcases newly released book Positively Fourth and Mercer: 
The Inside Story of New York's Iconic Music Club, The Bottom Line
Englewood, N.J., August 24, 2026 – <a href="https://watchungbooksellers.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">bergen PAC</a> is hosting an author talk and Q&amp;A on Friday, October 2, 2026, at 7:00 PM. Join Bottom Line co-owner Allan Pepper and veteran music journalist Billy Altman as they discuss their new book <a href="https://watchungbooksellers.com/item/e2TjfB8fybv3CkxafKwGYw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Positively Fourth and Mercer: The Inside Story of New York's Iconic Music Club, The Bottom Line</a>. They will share a behind-the-scenes look at the history and legacy of the legendary Greenwich Village club that during its 30-year run impacted the careers of Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton, Darlene Love, David Johansen, Uncle Floyd, and countless others. 
Moderated by local radio personality Jerry Treacy, the event will also showcase a gallery of rare photographs by longtime club photographer Peter Cunningham, many of which are featured in the book, including some never before seen publicly.
The Bottom Line was the site of many iconic music moments:
●Bruce Springsteen’s career-making stand in August 1975 
●Dolly Parton’s first New York City performance in 1977 
●Harry Chapin’s 1981 milestone 2,000th concert
●The annual holiday-themed “The Downtown Messiah” 
●The “In Their Own Words” series in the 1990s, which brought together unique singer-songwriter pairings to perform and discuss their craft. 
Pepper and fellow music promoter Stanley Snadowsky opened The Bottom Line in 1974, creating a small club with a big goal: putting the artists and audiences first by building a creative environment with a focus on what transpired on stage.
“The Bottom Line was never just a venue,” Pepper said. “Stanley and I envisioned it as a new concept for presenting live music. We were always confident we could make that a reality, but what we had no way of predicting was the lasting impact this little club would have on New York’s music scene or the history of popular music. That’s the story we are telling with this book.”
Pepper described the practical choices that supported the “music first” philosophy of The Bottom Line since opening night: providing an intimate theater-like setup, with no minimum cover charge, no pressure on patrons to purchase food or drinks, and ongoing efforts to reduce noise during performances. 
Those details are as much a part of Positively Fourth and Mercer as the photos and recollections from performers, patrons, and staffers. 
“Allan and I wanted to present more than a collection of anecdotes,” Altman said. “Once we started working on this project, it quickly became clear we were outlining a rich narrative of cultural and creative energy. Positively Fourth and Mercer will appeal to readers with a passion for music, and to anyone attracted to stories of friendship, ambition, and the importance of following a dream.”
