Welcome to another episode of The Morning After, hosted by Jessie Kiefer and Jen Tullock! First up on the show is Andrew Halden of the Highlands Restaurant Group. Andrew hosts quiz night at Highlands Restaurant in the West Village. Go to Highlands at 7pm on Sunday nights to see if you have enough creativity and trivia knowledge to win some free booze! Later, Jessie talks with her father, Michael Kiefer, about last meals for prisoners on death row in Arizona. This segment is not for the faint of heart. What is the significance of the last meal ritual in our society? Marcine Franckowiak is in the studio talking about her inclusion in the New York Times Magazine's Women Behind Bars. Listen to Marcine talk about painting murals in Baltimore and Bushwick, and why women bartenders are such an anomaly in New York City. Tune in for another installment of "Front of House" and "What's on the Menu at Chardonnaise?" This program has been brought to you by Susty Party.
"Doing your art is kind of more about you and your perspective. Doing murals has nothing to do with you. It's about that community and what they're about, and going along with that community." [23:20] -- Marcine Franckowiak on The Morning After
