Denying a Jewish sect’s bid to expand last year will be expensive for Cambridge.

City manager Yi-An Huang is asking the City Council to approve taking the money from “free cash,” the city’s surplus fund, at Monday’s council meeting, according to the meeting agenda published June 18.

His new hour of comedy, “You Had to Be There,” allows for a snuggle deep into this sleeping bag of an era with a longer nostalgia-tinged set.
