Partner and Executive Chef Simone Bonelli has surprised guests with impressive specials and mouth watering dishes that leave patrons wanting more and coming back to try what they weren’t able to fit in one meal, so extending their hours and offering Lunch was a must for those who want to come enjoy the patio oasis during a hot summer day. The Lunch Menu offered Wednesday through Sunday from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm is essentially the same menu as dinner service with the addition of the newly created and unparalleled Nossa Burger, a Brazilian inspired grass fed short rib and brisket burger with roasted tomato, cheddar, red onion, lettuce, palmito, served with french fries, house-made malagueta mayo and Chimichurri.

Their fabulous Happy Hour Menu offered Wednesday through Sunday from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm features small bites including Cheese and Beef Empanadas, “Paōninis”, a new term coined by Nossa, mini sandwiches on pão de queijo served with picanha steak and chimichurri, tomato and mozzarella, salame and palmito that will tantalize your taste buds, Marinated Olives, and lucky for you, the Nossa Burger is offered from lunch through Happy Hour. All Sangria and Wines by the Glass are $2.00 off, Beer is $1.00 off, and Carafes of Sangria and Pitchers of Beer are $3.00 off.

The team behind the Nossa Bar are just beginning to have their fun. “We have collaborated with Aidan Hansen, former Bar Manager at Bavel, Bartender at Nopa, and Cocktail Development at Rye on the Road, to develop fun, fresh and bright cocktails using wine or beer as the base” Director of Operations Xandre Borghetti excitedly exclaims.  Highlights include a Passion Fruit Xandy with Guarana, a Pineapple and Coconut Collins, and a Nossa Spritz with Pluots.  Aidan will be updating the menu seasonally and they will continue to introduce new concoctions among their ever-changing impressive Wine Selection from Beverage Director Michelle Biscieglia that include satisfying and sophisticated chilled reds, whites and rosé perfect for this summer weather. Just when you thought this team could not possibly offer anything else, they have taken it upon themselves to also bring you summer beats to enjoy alongside the perfect dish and cocktail!

Alcatraz Full Movie | Latest Movie 2020 Hollywood Dubbed

Alcatraz 2018 New Hollywood @S_xtudios
America’s most infamous maximum security prison Alcatraz, home to the country’s most dangerous criminals, is considered to be an impenetrable fortress. A group of prisoners, led by an armed robber and a gangster, are tired of living under the thumb of the strict warden and his sadistic guards. The inmates formulate an escape plan and on the 2nd of May 1946, their fight for freedom begins as they take several guards hostage and attempt to break out of the institution. But the prisoners didn’t count on the Warden’s determination to maintain Alcatraz’s
fearsome reputation. Soon they are facing not only the Warden’s officers but the might of a military team led by a tough General who believes in fighting fire with fire. This is the powerful real life story of the Battle of Alcatraz, a fight to the death that only the most brutal and cunning will survive.

Lucy Hale Shares Apology After Deciding to Remove Sentimental Tattoo

Lucy Hale played a character known for keeping secrets, but the actress herself has decided not to keep one of her tattoos.

On Sunday, Aug. 8, the 32-year-old Pretty Little Liars alum shared a photo to her Instagram Story of a sun tattoo on the left side of her torso that she has decided to remove with laser treatments. The post was part of a series of shots she shared to her Story in honor of her older sister Maggie‘s birthday.

“it’s my sweet, hardworking, inspiring sisters birthday today & I’ll say it here…she could kick your ass, make a charcuterie board better that’s Pinterest status, all while raising 3 kids looking GORG,” Lucy wrote to accompany a photo of her sister.

The Fantasy Island actress later shared an image of herself lifting up her top to reveal her sun tattoo, which matched an identical one Maggie had on her right wrist.

“I’ve made her get tattoos with me (I’m sorry Maggie I’m getting this one lasered off),” Lucy wrote. 

SIDEQUEST FOR LOVE by L H COSWAY

“I miss you so much it hurts right here,” he said candidly, tapping the centre of his chest. I reached across the table to take his hand into mine. “I have a matching hurt in the exact same spot.”

After a couple of heavy reads, we were in the mood for something lighter, and what better way to answer that call, than with a witty, warm, captivating, and sexy read by L.H. Cosway. We couldn’t wait to experience lots of giggles, emotion, and passion, with characters who would steal our hearts. Sidequest for Love was the perfect read for our mood, and once again our hearts have been warmed with relatable characters in this wonderfully funny, sweet slow-burn friends to lovers.

“I think it’s wonderful how you see the world. You don’t dismiss people because of their imperfections. In fact, you seem to enjoy people far more because they’re imperfect.”

SideQuest for Love is a standalone spinoff from the Running on Air Series, where we meet twenty-five-year-old Afric O’Connor, a popular gamer originally from Dublin, now living in London. Afric is one of eight siblings and had to learn to stand up for herself. She tells it as it is, she’s quirky, funny, and lacks a filter. And we couldn’t love her more!

They say opposites attract, and that was the case with Afric and thirty-year-old Neil Durant. The first meeting between Afric and Neil was anything but successful, as they rubbed each other up the wrong way. Neil was measured and ordered, Afric was carefree and chaotic, and fate had other ideas.

“I think we often avoid those who aren’t the same as us, but if we just gave those people a chance, we’d realise how inconsequential the differences are in comparison to you much they can improve our lives.”

Neil is an assistant in the hugely popular reality show Running on Air and what a beautiful character he was. It’s so rare to find a male love interest like Neil. A quiet, somewhat insecure family-orientated man with such a sweet and tender heart. This is the sort of character L H Cosway writes so perfectly, and we adored him! Though, Neil’s alpha side could definitely rear its head when required. He’s perfectly described as a sexy Clark Kent, and that’s just how we imagined him!

As Afric and Neil’s friendship grows, they discover a shared love of period drama TV (though Neil is the romantic in this friendship), and a whole lot of witty banter ensues – their text messaging was a hoot! We loved the way their friendship so beautifully and slowly developed.

‘There was magic to this woman. The more I got to know her, the more evident it became. She lived in her own world, made up her own rules, and I was almost envious of her.’

L H Cosway is one of the most wonderful storytellers. Her books are so warm and engaging with an underlying message in each one. In Sidequest for Love, it’s about acceptance and difference. About rooting for the underdog, about seeing the substance underneath the gloss, and we LOVED IT!

“Let me be the person in your corner, Neil.”

Now…Afric’s brother Billy MUST get a story! We are already surmising his love interest. If we’re right, then we are positively giddy with excitement over that possibility, and will eagerly be awaiting that story!

 

 

 



The Suicide Squad Tops Domestic Box Office, Jungle Cruise Holds Strong

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad didn’t exactly light the box office in its first weekend with just $26.5 million from 4,002 theaters, per Deadline. Of course, it also released simultaneously on HBO Max, so there was no need to see it in theaters.

It wasn’t all bad news at the box office as Jungle Cruise dipped a respectable 55% in its second weekend to bring in $15.69 million, raising its domestic total to $65.3 million.

Other holdovers include M. Night Shyamalan’s Old, which collected $4.1M for a $38.5M total. The thriller only cost $18 million, so, while the numbers aren’t mind-boggling, at least the pic is making money. Black Widow came in at No. 4 with $4 million for a $174.3 million total, while Space Jam 2 ($2.475M/$65.6M total) and Snake Eyes ($1.65M/$26M) continued their lackluster box office runs.

Surprisingly, the best holdover this weekend was the Matt Damon flick Stillwater, which dropped 45% in its second weekend and earned $2.86 million to bring its haul to $10 million, respectively.

DaBaby Deletes Instagram Apology Statement to LGBTQ+ Community

On August 2, DaBaby posted a statement on Instagram apologizing for the homophobic remarks he made at Rolling Loud Miami last month. “I want to apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made,” DaBaby wrote in the post (viewed by Pitchfork). Now, the statement has been removed from his account, as Vulture points out (and Pitchfork can confirm). Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for DaBaby for comment.

DaBaby issued the August 2 apology following his removal from a number of festivals. The day prior, Lollapalooza announced that DaBaby would no longer perform at the festival, and that his headlining slot would be filled by Young Thug. Governors Ball followed suit shortly after, removing DaBaby from the lineup. He was also pulled from November’s Day N Vegas, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Music Midtown, and September’s iHeartRadio Music Festival.

DaBaby made the offensive comments on July 25 while performing at Rolling Loud. “If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up,” he said, addressing the crowd. “Fellas, if you ain’t sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up!” After widespread criticism, the rapper said that his gay fans aren’t “nasty gay n—-as” or “junkies.”

Following the incident, DaBaby released the music video for “Giving What It’s Supposed to Give,” during which he held a sign that read “AIDS.” The clip ended with the message: “Don’t Fight Hate With Hate. My apologies for being me the same way you want the freedom to be you.”

Billboard recently published a report outlining a decrease in radio play for Dua Lipa and DaBaby’s “Levitating” remix following the controversy. Lipa spoke out against DaBaby shortly after his Rolling Loud comments started to circulate online. “I’m surprised and horrified at DaBaby’s comments,” she wrote in an Instagram story (viewed by Pitchfork). “I really don’t recognise this as the person I worked with. I know my fans know where my heart lies and that I stand 100% with the LGBTQ community. We need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV/AIDS.” Elton John, Demi Lovato, and Madonna also criticized the rapper for his comments on social media.
