The Beatles called it quits after fewerthan a dozen years. Imagine what it’s liketo play in a Beatles tribute band for 28years.

How do you stop from getting boredperforming in “1964 –TheTribute”? It isn’tlike the performers can switch parts. “Forme, it does not get stale,” said Mark Ben-son, who plays John Lennon. “We play thebest music ever written.” And therein liesthe seed for the longevity: TheBeatles arestill popular, with almost every age group.

The show, a tribute to theBeatles’ earlyyears, plays the Golden Nugget Oct. 27.

“Ourdemographics run from toddler tograndparents. It’s a really good, clean funshow with great rock ‘n’ roll.

“We just had a banner year. Even withthe economy struggling, people still turnup at the shows. And at almost every show,the band sees new faces. The big picture istheBeatlesarestillwell received,”Bensonsaid in a phone interview.

The Beatles’ legacy also continues as apopular theme on the Las Vegas entertain-ment scene,withboth theRockBandgameand the “Love” Cirque du Soleil show .

“None of that hurts,” Benson said.“1964” recreates an early ’60s liveBeat-

les concert, with period instruments,clothing, hairstyles and onstage banter.Theband,whichoriginated inAkron,Ohio,focuses on the years 1963 to 1966, the tour-ing years. The performers studied filmand tapes of the Beatles to capture everymove.

That’s still quite the songcatalogue.Ev-ery six months, they change some of thesongs. “The biggest challenge is whichamazing No. 1 hits we do not do,” Bensonsaid.

Some songs can’t be discarded: “SheLoves You” and “AHard Day’s Night,” forexample.

“Wemakesure it’snot stale for theaudi-ence. Thatwe get somuch repeat businessreflects that,” he said.

They also abide by the saying, don’tmess with success.

The band goes through suits every sixmonths, but is outfitted by Gordon Mill-ings, the Beatles’ tailor in England.

“I remember Gordon telling us he stillhadsomeof those tackyNehrujackets thatthe Beatles wore at Shea Stadium andasked if we thought they were worth any-thing. Our jaws just dropped,” said MarkBenson, who plays John in “1964 – TheTribute” “He still makes suits for us and,when we can’t get back, he sends us origi-

nal bolts of cloth he’s saved from that timeperiod. If we need to modify the suits, wehave his patterns to go by.”

The gig is as close to a steady job as youcould ask for; 100 to120 shows a year. Thatleaves little time for other shows.Thebassplayer does get in some time to work onoriginal music. “But with a schedule ofperforming one to three days a week, it’sdifficult to lock in to anything else.”

Comedian LennyClarke is in thenew film ‘HereComes theBoom’ and heperforms atBorgata Oct. 27.NEW JERSEY PRESS

MEDIA FILE

In themovie “Here Comes the Boom,” Lenny Clarke playswhat IMDBlabels Loud Dietrich Fan. He gets into an argument with SalmaHayek’scharacter.

“We have a verbal battle and she attacks me,” he said in an inter-view. “It was fun making that movie.”

Clarke has carved out a nice career with small roles in film andlarger ones in television.Whocan forget his take asUncleTeddy infellow Bostonian Denis Leary’s series “Rescue Me”?

But the stand-up portion of his career is what brings him toBorgata Oct. 27.

“I love stand-up because of the instant feedback. If it goesright, it’s the greatest feeling,” he said.

Clarke spent his formative career years in Boston’s comedycircuit, but his real transformation to stand-up took place in anAtlantic City lounge.“I thought itwasagoodway todo it,” he said. “Theslotmachines

were going off and this big guy who was in front of me says to me,‘Nothing you say to me will me laugh. I just lost $35,000.’ I said, Gotry to win it back.’ Everyone laughed but him,” Clarke said.

Clarke made his first foray into comedy while working his waythroughcollegeas a janitor atCambridgeCityHall nearBoston.Heand his friends went for a beer and lunch at a Chinese restaurantduring a comedy show. “Mybuddies said ‘You’re funnier. You go upthere.’ I did and told a couple jokes, and they asked me back.”

Since he’s worked Borgata a number of times, Clarke tries tokeep the material fresh. A stand-up for 35 years, he’s changed hisapproach as he’s gotten older.

“I used to do everything that came intomymind. Now I’mmorepolitically correct, filtering, even during private conversations.”

Indeed, Clarke doesn’t do political stuff. “In this climate, youcan’twin. I try andmakepeople laughandkeepeverybodyhappy. If I

can take your mind off the economy, I’ve done my job,” he said.As success grew on the comedy trail, TV beckoned. In the early ’90s,

Clarke starred in “Lenny,” a series that aired during the start of the firstGulf War. The war took over a lot of the airtime, he said, and the show fiz-zled. He also spent years as a featured player on “The John LarroquetteShow.”“I really like TV. You do a sitcom, you have great hours andweekends off.

And if it goes into syndication, I can retire,” he said.In addition to “HereComes theBoom,”Clarke appeared in “Southie” and “Fever

Pitch,” both films shot in Boston.He has a couple of TV auditions lined up and is filming an HBOmovie with Larry

David. “Larry’s even funnier in real life. A nice guy, also,” Clarke said about themanbehind “Seinfeld” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

If he wasn’t a comedian, Clarke would be a gardener.“I moved to Martha’s Vineyard where I have lots of trees,” he said. “I

find itpeaceful. Ihavean incredible lawn.ThreeyearsagoI tookcareof it all by myself for the entire summer. You have to work it

night and day. It takes total dedication.”

Whenfall rollsaround,menus takeonamoresea-sonal taste. With the annual Fall Harvest Wine Din-ner at Atlantic City Country Club just five days be-fore Halloween, the taste turns to pumpkin.

ChefEdDaggershas includedapumpkin lobsterbisque as part of the culinary festivities for the eve-ning.

“ChefDaggershasput togetheramenufit for thechanging leaves and drop in temperature, profes-sionally paired with fine wines,” said Charles Fahy,director of operations at the famous course ownedby Caesars Entertainment.

Said Daggers, “We do cool pairings of wine andfood, and with the fall harvest theme, utilize prod-ucts like apples, pumpkins and game.”

The sit-down dinner and wine tasting also fea-tures balsamic and herb roast pheasant with petitetenderloin medallions and wild mushroom and but-ternut squash wild rice.

Daggers does about six themed dinners a year,including those that feature Italian, Argentinean,Hawaiian, Spanish cuisines and more.

“ I have done wine dinners most of my career atgolf clubs and resorts and hotels,” said Daggers, asix-year veteran with Caesars Entertainment, whoranhis ownrestaurants andoversawdiningat otherresorts from Florida to Pennsylvania.

Each dinner normally offers four to six courses,he said. “The guests have a ball learning aboutwineand sometimes trying things they might not havetried before,” he said.

Suchmeals also introduce guests to the golf cluband its food and beverage department. “And thiskeeps it fun and interesting for our culinary teamand helps build customer loyalty with new and ex-citing things. It’s something a little different thanjust going out to eat,” Daggers said.

When Brandi Emolo got married, shehad the ceremony in her hometown of Wil-liamstown.But shehad thereception inAt-lanticCity, some30milesaway.Thereasonfor the trek to the Shore was the locationfor the party: One Atlantic, the event cen-ter atop the Pier Shops at Caesars.

“We wanted to have a venue that wasnot your typical ballroom and we fell inlove with the view,” said Emolo.

Thatwouldbe theviewof thebeachandboardwalk.

“The view from the cocktail room andthemainreceptionroomis justbreath-tak-ingandwegotvery luckyaswehadabeau-tiful day for our wedding,” she said.

“Also, my husband’s family and friendswere traveling from North Jersey and wewanted to have our reception at a location

that they could stay and make a weekendout of it,” Emolo said.

“We can configure any of our spaces upto 1,200 guests,” said Elizabeth McGlinn,director at One Atlantic — and not just forweddings, but for bar and bat mitzvahs,family reunions and other milestoneevents,corporateretreatsandholidaypar-ties.

Emolo also liked that One Atlantic onlyschedules a single event per night. “Someother reception halls have multiple roomsand multiple weddings in one night. Be-cause your event is the only one takingplace, they are able to be very attentive toyou and all of your guests,” she said.

Her reception included a cocktail hourwith butlered hors d’oeuvres and multiplestations of food, followed by a three-

course sit-down dinner.“All of our guests still rave about how

excellent the food was,” Emolo said. “Wewere also able to book a cigar roller, whichwent over very well.”

The spilled pasta on Emolo’s dress didnot go over very well with the bride.

“But within minutes they came backwith a Tide pen and got the stain out. Theyalso made sure both of our families andbridal party were taken care of the entirenight,” Emolo said.

Indeed, McGlinn says One Atlantic is aone-stopshop thatcanhandleall aspectsofan event, Tide pen included.

Like the Emolo wedding, guests canstay in Atlantic City as a destination.There’s a beach, shopping, the boardwalk.“Atlantic City is a desirable place. We’re

seeing events on Wednesday and Thurs-day night to take advantage of mid-weekrates,” McGlinn said.

One Atlantic does more than host par-ties in town. They come to you as well,whether a wedding, holiday party or cor-porate event, McGlinn said.

“Off-premises is still in its infancy. Wedo 90 percent on-site. But that is changing.Next year at this time the percentage willbe different,” she said.

Anotheravenue they take is to replicatefamily recipes for event menus.

“We are known for customization. Thefoods are prepped on the day of the event.The blending of tradition makes ourevents unique that way.”

GAMING DESTINATIONS & DIVERSIONS

Itbegan lifeasaprivatemen’sclubwiththe Commodore, Louis Kuehnle, as one ofits founding members. Kuehnle served asthe power broker of Atlantic City in thatera, mentoring Nucky Johnson, the inspi-ration behind Nucky Thompson on theHBO hit “Boardwalk Empire.” The Knife& Fork went on to become one of the mosticonic restaurants in Atlantic City.This month it celebrates its 100th anni-

versary. Howmany restaurants can claimthat longevity?Such a lifetime is due to a combination

of factors, saidMaureen Shay, whose fam-ily owns the restaurant at the juncture ofAlbany, Atlantic and Pacific avenues. “It’sa very unique building.Aunique structure(Flemish architecture, for example). It’sbeen the place to go for so long, it’s got thekind of history people are interested innow.”The recent restaurant renaissance in

Atlantic City has helped keep the flameburning, Shay said.“Fifteen years ago people had fewer

choices for a high-end restaurant,” Shaysaid. “Now it’s more of a focus. The citydrawsa lotmorepeople interested ingoingout for a nice dinner. The more AtlanticCity is known as a dining destination, themore traffic for everybody.”The new owners, the Dougherty family

— proprietors of Dock’s Oyster House —took over seven years ago with an eye onbringing theKnife&Fork back to its gloryto take advantage of the foodie focus. Themenu changed somewhat. The steakhouseaspect increased with more options.“But we kept a lot of the emphasis on

high-quality seafood,” she said. And therestaurant retained the famous lobsterthermidor, a signature dish from wayback.The restaurant has dining areas on two

floors, and if needed the third floor, whichserves as the wine room. From the secondfloor, thewindows look out over the ocean.But the handful of tables on the terrace onthe first floor remain the most requestedlocation.The restaurant received a mention in

the first seasonof “BoardwalkEmpire.” Inactuality, the restaurant has connectionsto the real-life characters on which the se-ries is based. Nucky Johnson, the inspira-

tion behind Steve Buscemi’s character,dined there often.During Prohibition, club members de-

fied the lawsandcontinuedtoopenlyserveliquor. The club survived without being

raided for some time, perhaps due to theinfluenceofJohnson, thereigningpoliticalboss andKnife&Fork regular. Eventually,federal agents destroyed all of its con-tents.

After the raid, the club’s membershipdeclined and in 1927 the building was soldto the Latz family. Convinced Prohibitionwas here to stay, the family removed thebar and converted the building into a pub-lic restaurant.During theDepression,Mil-ton and Evelyn Latzmoved the family intothe third and fourth floors, where theylived for decades.Milton and Evelyn successfully man-

aged the Knife & Fork until Milton died in1948. Their sons Mack and Jim took overand redefined the business through thepost-war decades, surviving the advent ofgambling in Atlantic City.Over the years, the Knife & Fork be-

came a favorite of politicians, wealthy va-cationers and Hollywood celebrities in-cluding Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and VicDamone. In a famous scene from themovie “Atlantic City,” Burt Lancaster andSusan Sarandon dined in the restaurant’spopular porch, now known as the Terrace.In 1985, Mack bought out his brother,

becoming the sole owner for more than adecade. As Mack approached 80, he re-tired. Unable to find a buyer, it closed in1997. Two years later, Mack’s son Andrewleasedtherestaurant, reopening in1999. In2005, Mack sold the restaurant to theDougherty family.

From the Chart House restaurantabove thebackbay in theGoldenNugget,folks can catch sight of the AbseconLighthouse a mile away.That view is one reason the Light-

house staff is holding its annual LusciousLibations fundraiser for educational pro-gramsat theChartHouse onOct. 25. Pastrestaurants — the Knife & Fork, Steve &Cookie’s and Sofia — provided a greatatmosphere, but none with a view likethis, said Jean Muchanic, executive di-rector of the Absecon Lighthouse.“The views of Atlantic City are spec-

tacular. Within that view, you can see thelighthouse. People will enjoy seeing thelighthouse within the skyline in AtlanticCity and see how the historic structurefits into the skyline. You get a greater ap-preciation of how history has a place inmodern Atlantic City.”And they’ll get to see the light turned

on.In addition to the skyline, attendees

can enjoy hors d’oeuvres, a champagnetoast and the song stylings of ShawnAsh-ley.“This is our signature event of the

year,” Muchanic said.
