So, what do you do?β Whenever people asked him, Eric Cash used to have a dozen answers. Artist, actor, screenwriter . . . But now heβs thirty-five years old and heβs still living on the Lower East Side, still in the restaurant business, still serving the people he wanted to be. What does Eric do? He manages. Not like Ike Marcus. Ike was young, good-looking, people liked him. Ask him what he did, he wouldnβt say tending bar. He was going placesβuntil two street kids stepped up to him and Eric one night and pulled a gun. At least, thatβs Ericβs version.
