(1995 - 2024) Mika Lesser, a NYC FiDi lifer, passed away last evening after scaling the world's greatest symbol of liberty - all in the name of social media savviness. Lesser, a local reply guy who haunted all the Think Coffeeshops south of Canal Street, spent his life training the nepo babies of the world in "media presence", which may or not be a real thing. Best known as the right-hand-man to Tommy Carlsen (son of Tucker), Lesser's global impact was bright but shortlived - like the free cheese samples at Trader Joes, or a newly opened bottle of fresh whole milk. His funeral will be held at the Oculus and the South Street Seaport and the Battery all at the same time, and his ashes will be spread underneath the Liberty Bull's Ball n' Torch at sunset tomorrow (new episode of EXIT INTERVIEW on Thursday) SUBSCRIBE AND RATE/REVIEW $$$
