MERKIN-TILE EXCHANGE: Some of you may be familiar with the rather bizarre cultural artifact known as the "merkin." But apparently not everyone is- in research for a story I'm working on I came across a New York performance space with quite an interesting name: the Merkin Concert Hall. Not a lot of performance venues named after stuff that's defined in the Urban Dictionary; what's next, the Cleveland Steamer Theater?
