Educated at the Sorbonne and the Yale School of Drama, Gersh Kuntzman is obviously not the person being described here.

He joins Streetsblog after stints at the New York Daily News, the New York Post, the Brooklyn Paper and even a cup of coffee with the Times. Gersh is also the writer and producer of "Murder at the Food Coop," which was a hit at the NYC Fringe Festival in 2016, and “SUV: The Musical,” which was also a hit in 2007.
