can handle the kick, these extras are
well worth it. Sides of au jus are also
available.
Fra* all the beef that’s packed into
the sandwiches, M & N is an afford
able venture. For a sandwich and a
drink, the bill usually falls below $5.
First-time visitors—or “virgins,” as the
owner calls them—are treated to a free
cup-sized sample of their killer Italian
beef.
If it’s a hamburger you want, the
pastrami burger will make you never
want to go back to Whoppers or Big
Macs. For $2.95 you get a nice-sized
burger with a couple layers of pastrami
and Swiss cheese. Lettuce, tomato,
ration, mustard, mayo, onions and pep
pers are optional. It’s the second-best
seller at M & N’s and a choice lunch
selection.
If the hot peppers are still burning
your mouth, M & N has sane nifty
desserts to calm the taste buds. The
shop offers New Yak-style cheesecake
and if you don’t feel too silly request
ing it, the pudden heads strawberry
berry squeeze pop is a cheap, refresh
ing after dinner snack.
Not oily that, but M & N delivers
for a $2 charge, with free deliveries to
the Zoo Bar. The friendship between
M & N’s owners and the owners of the
Zoo bar is evident in the worn, relaxed
atmosphere of the shop. Simple white
tables and black chairs allow for com
fortable seating. The walls are deco
rated with autographed pictures of
bands that have played at die Zoo and
flyers of upcoming bands.
M & N offers a good taste of Chi
cago. The store’s close ties with the
blues make it a great place to hit be
fore catching an act at the Zoo. Many
of the acts at the Zoo have even
sampled M&N’s offerings.
The owner, Norm Ku sin ski, boasts
that there hasn’t been a blues man yet
who hasn’t raved about the Pastrami
burger. Blues fan or not, M & N’s Sand
wich Shop is a place well worth check
ing out.

“Rent”
Original Broadway Cast Recording
Dreamworks Records
Grade: A+
Listening to “Rent” is a lot like be
ing one of die first people to look at
Michelangelo’s “David.” This is a new
era when it comes to musicals.
“Rent’s” composer, lyricist and li
brettist, die late Jonathan Larson, be
lieved that the American musical was
dying because it didn’t tell the stories
of the younger generation and didn’t
incorporate its music.
With “Rent,” Larson did more than
anyone expected. The show is an up
dating of Puccini’s “La Bohemebut
the music infuses the lyrics with rock,
hip-hop, gospel and soul, certainly not
the music of the generation before us.
It’s a litde like “Jesus Christ Super
star” because it take rock in heavy
doses, but “Superstar” uses ’70s rock.
This is the ’90s. This is the time for
“Rent.”
In “La Boheme,” the plague is tu
berculosis. In “Rent,” it’s AIDS. Dif
ferent times, different plagues, similar
problems.
All the problems in “Rent” are real
ones. Problems paying rent, problems
with artistic integrity, problems with
AIDS, problems with sexuality. ...
“Rent” is as realistic as it gets and that’s
part of what makes it so compelling.
Part of it, however, is the sheer
musical and lyrical genius of the show.
From the strong rock of “Rent” to the
gospel-rock hybrid “Seasons of Love,”
die show is designed to not only over
whelm, but entirely submerge you in
the world of the protagonists.
“Rent” has a slew of awards, in
cluding four Tony Awards (including
best musical) and the Pulitzer Prize for
drama, being only the seventh musical
to ever win the coveted award.
Each and every award was right
fully earned, and the recording is, mi
nus a few bits of dialogue, all of “Rent”
exacdy as it is presented.
“Rent” is a musical for our genera
tion, and on a personal note, the best
musical I’ve ever heard. It’s not for our
parents or our grandparents—it’s for
us.
Mr. Larson, “Rent” will not be for
gotten and neither will you.
—Cliff Hicks
