Happy Juneteenth!

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hiram Kasten. Beloved by all, Hiram was one of the sweetest people, a talented comedian and actor and an integral part of the New York comedy scene in the 1970s and 1980s. He graced our stage and so many others with his bright, engaging humor, and is best known for his work on many sitcoms like “Seinfeld” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” We extend our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to Hiram’s wife Diana, daughter, Millicent Jade, and his many family, friends, and fans. RIP.

Happy Father’s Day! 💙

Today, we mourn the loss of the legendary comedian and my dear friend, Richard Lewis, a true comedy icon and one of the most prolific voices in comedy. His wit, humor, and unique perspective made him one of the best comedians of his or any other generation. From the early days of Carolines in Chelsea to the South Street Seaport to our Times Square location on Broadway, Richard was always an integral part of our success and a vital part and cherished member of the comedy scene. He leaves behind a legacy and a body of work that will be cherished by fans for generations to come. Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with Richard’s family during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Richard. - Caroline Hirsch
