AUGUSTINE | In a city known as a diverse dining destination
a landmark Jacksonville restaurant and an award-winning Vietnamese restaurant are partnering in a first-of-its-kind culinary collaboration in Northeast Florida
The French Pantry and Little Miss Ha, opened Wednesday, April 23, as part of 36 Granada — a unique collaboration encompassing four distinct
elevated dining concepts in the historic former Corazon Cinema and Cafe building
Named for its address, 36 Granada brings together The French Pantry, known for its French-Mediterranean cuisine; Little Miss Ha, which has earned accolades for its authentic Vietnamese fare; La Petite Kitchen, a chef-driven cooking class studio and private dining room; and Cache-Cache
The French Pantry is launching its dinner menu at 36 Granada — offered exclusively at the St
36 Granada is a joint venture between veteran restaurateurs John Valentino
"The space is really about providing people experiences," Valentino said of 36 Granada
Augustine are here to experience the oldest city in the country
we're going to provide some unique dining experiences."
The French Pantry and Little Miss Ha each showcase unique menus offering inspired and innovative dishes
while Little Miss Ha focuses on lunch and dinner
The restaurants share a full-service main bar featuring craft cocktails
Valentino said they also want to do wine tastings
cocktail classes and other events at 36 Granada
really unique things about this project here in St
Augustine is this kind of yin and yang of The French Pantry and Little Miss Ha being in the same building
especially in cuisine between France and Vietnam," Johnny Hudgins told the Times-Union
"The thing I like about it the most is that it's not like a fusion restaurant
It's not taking some French elements and some Vietnamese elements and then mixing them together
They are independent restaurants that are like siblings
Hudgins noted Little Miss Ha "is more verdant and feminine and Asian
instead of having like a fusion experience
you come and have independent experiences," Hudgins said
adding that guests can eat at one restaurant for breakfast or lunch and the other for dinner
we give them multiple opportunities to come back and try some of our experiences."
Augustine menu expands to dinner serviceThe French Pantry has been a Jacksonville dining destination for decades
was established in 1995 by Tim and Barbara Felver
Valentino bought the iconic restaurant known for its lunch-only menu of sandwiches
panini and bruschetta — all made with freshly baked bread from the large commercial bakery housed in the Powers Avenue building
The French Pantry is also popular for its gourmet salads and decadent desserts such as Wedding Cake
36 Granada will see the restaurant expand its menu to a light
French-style breakfast and full dinner service
But the Jacksonville location will remain lunch only
He said the new restaurant will offer signature dishes such as Filet au Poivre
French Pantry desserts will be a mainstay on the menu
The restaurant will also offer raw bar items
Little Miss Ha offers a menu inspired by family recipes
"It's really authentic to Vietnamese cuisine
It's a little more elevated but still comfortable," Janice said of their menu
The restaurant pays homage to Janice’s mother
who brought her family recipes from Vietnam to Charleston
She was affectionately known as "Miss Ha" by co-workers and customers at the old Piggly Wiggly grocery where she worked
which ultimately became a staple in the store's deli case
her mom worked two jobs but always cooked the meals for her and her three brothers
but it wasn't until she had her own four children that her mom began teaching her their family recipes — none of which were written down
Janice said her most requested cuisine was "Mommy Food" — a phrase coined by her college roommates for the care packages of food Janice received from her mom
"Everybody always wanted my mom's food," she said
her mom and brothers in 2012 to start doing pop-ups in Charleston featuring their Vietnamese homemade comfort food
I was there to help out and to help roll spring rolls
was really the star of the show," she said of those days
the Hudgins launched the original Little Miss Ha restaurant in Mount Pleasant
the couple had established a solid following in the community via cooking private dinners
catering events and fine-tuning their menu at Charleston's Workshop food hall
The Hudgins' closed the Mount Pleasant restaurant in October 2023 when its lease expired
Augustine and team up with Valentino to establish 36 Granada
and I really wanted to elevate Vietnamese cuisine and make it a little more modern and elegant," she said
Janice said some of Little Miss Ha's signature dishes reflect her mom's cooking
Imperial Rolls: Crispy rolls with seasoned pork
shredded veggies and noodles served with nuoc cham sauceShaking Beef (Bò lúc lắc): Features wok-fried filet mignonTamarind Ribs: Sweet and tangy ribs served with pickled okraYellow Curry: Coconut lemongrass curry with sweet potatoes and served with jasmine riceFrench Pantry desserts will be available at Little Miss Ha
Both The French Pantry and Little Miss Ha will offer gluten-free and vegetarian options
at The French Pantry will be about $30 to $50 per person
It will be about $25 to $35 at Little Miss Ha
Janice Hudgins will lead the cooking classes
The classes are designed to appeal to residents as well as tourists
It's "a great way to introduce people" to the cuisine
"Cooking classes are a great thing to do when you are out in a new place," her husband noted
what else can we add to the community here from the tourist standpoint
and being able to offer cooking classes to both residents and tourists seemed like a great opportunity."
Janice Hudgins previously taught Vietnamese cooking classes with their original Little Miss Ha in Mount Pleasant
is tucked away toward the back of the restaurant
It has three doors: one each to The French Pantry
Valentino said they anticipate Cache-Cache will be popular with wedding parties looking for rehearsal dinners

Augustine City Hall and the Lightner Museum at the southern end of the city’s Historic District
Valentino said construction to renovate the building began in August 2023
The work included raising the floor about 4 1/2 feet as a precaution against flooding
Reservations are recommended at the restaurants that have a combined total of about 200 seats
offering counter-service breakfast from 7 a.m
He said a limited bar food menu will be available between 3:30 p.m
Dinner service will continue until 9:30 p.m
daily with similar operating hours as The French Pantry
Typically, a hotel is just a place to rest your head at night — somewhere you’re happy to leave behind to explore the city. However, Spain’s Melia Granada proves there are some properties that can enrich your visit to a new destination
Melia Granada reopened in March 2024 after a $15.4 million renovation and investment
The 181-room property is located in Granada’s city center on Calle Angel Ganivet
well within walking distance to the Granada Cathedral and the charming neighborhood of Realejo
When I checked into my sixth-floor room, I had my first glimpse of one of Spain’s most beautiful cities. The hotel’s top floor features a glass-paneled lounge with wondrous views of Granada — the last Moorish state in Spain before it was captured by Catholic monarchs in 1492
from where I stood in Melia Granada with a glass of champagne in hand
the famed palace and fortress complex that housed the Moorish kings
overlooking a valley of whitewashed homes with red roof tiles
the premium room tier for Melia Hotels that offers private check-in
a welcome gift and access to private spaces
I was ushered past the stylish deep-green lobby to the elevator and up to the exclusive Level Lounge
which provides free breakfast and delicious snacks and drinks every day of a client’s stay
(Considering it can cost just $20 to $30 more per night for a Level Room
I believe it’s well-worth the investment to upgrade.)
The Lounge quickly became an important element of my trip
I watched the sun rise over the mountains and admired the rooftops of Granada while eating breakfast on the space’s outdoor terrace
I found myself returning there to relax with a glass of wine by the stylish fireplace
marveling over the fact that I was in Granada
witnessing flamenco dance performances and walking along the historic Paseo de los Tristes
Granada vibrated within the glass walls of the Lounge every moment I stepped in
The lounge’s elevated decor and warm atmosphere echoes among the property's elegant rooms
natural tones and allusions to Andalusia’s rich tile history in art pieces or coffee table books
All rooms have in-room coffee and tea service
a television with Chromecast capability and a choice of fiber
but I couldn’t miss a chance to eat at Ola 1971
the on-site seafood restaurant where I gorged on a variety of seafood bites and paella in a bright and breezy space
which starts the day off with a breakfast buffet
then evolves into a restaurant serving international food
Italian cuisine features prominently on the menu — which makes sense
considering the grand pizza oven in the kitchen
Though I’ve visited many cities across Spain
Granada has become one of my favorite cities in the country — and all of Europe
which gave me the perfect space to rest and the opportunity to feel like I was part of the city

Come to Granada in AndaluciaIn this Andalucian city
flamenco is an art form as well as a way of life — not just for traditional dancers and singers but also for hip-hop stars
classical guitar legends and street artists
This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK).It’s almost sunset
and the hilltop cave quarter of Sacromonte is just beginning to stir
which has been smothering Granada all day like a weighted blanket
has begun to lift; the heady scent of wisteria hangs on the breeze
and the shaded plazas echo with the meowing of cats and the shouts of playing children
another sound filters in — the plucking of a classical guitar
coming from the open door of a hillside home
“Sacromonte has a magic of its own,” says guitarist Pepe Romero when I meet him inside
“It was here in the mountains that the Romani people settled
Sacromonte was one of the hotspots where flamenco was born

charismatic 80-year-old — is one of the world’s most famous classical guitarists
his musical journey owes its origins to Granada
after he was captivated by hearing his father playing Francisco Tárrega’s famous guitar piece
the Alhambra itself — Granada’s famed Moorish-Christian palace
an architectural masterpiece — sits framed beyond Pepe’s balcony
rose gold and ferrous red in the quickening sunset
Pepe’s earliest albums in the late 1950s and early 1960s were flamenco records
“I’ve always been in love with flamenco,” he says
“Its spirit is what we call duende: something like divine inspiration
but not religious — the divinity of all humanity
(From carnival to cathedrals: the inside guide to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the charismatic capital city)
I climb further up the hill to see duende in action at Cueva de la Rocío
a flamenco venue in a complex of rock-cut caves
I’m ushered into a tunnel-like room with a barrel ceiling that’s dimly lit by purple light
its rough walls hung with brass cooking pots and family photos
singer and guitarist occupy the stage at the end
delivering impassioned songs interspersed with shouts of “Ay!” — the exclamation known as the quejío
a female dancer in a polka-dot dress improvises a captivating dance
her fingers either clicking rhythmically or clenched in defiant fists
her heels sending up a firecracker chorus of percussive taps from the polished floor
The spirit of flamenco infuses the artistic life and collective imagination of all of Granada
The labyrinthine alleyways of the Albaicín
house darkly atmospheric clubs like Eshavira
where instrumentalists and singers improvise new fusions of flamenco and jazz in real time
while flamenco-inflected rock bands like Los Planetas have helped bestow on Granada the crown of indie capital of Spain
Flamenco’s hold on Granada transcends even the world of music
and can be found in some of the most unexpected places
centuries-old district south of Sacromonte that was once home to Granada’s Jewish community
a striking mural shows a dark-haired woman with hooped earrings
Her forehead is marked with a bindi — a reference to the origins of the Romani in northern India
like the many others that brighten the elegantly fading buildings in Realejo
aka El Niño de las Pinturas (‘The Boy of the Paintings’) — Granada’s most celebrated street artist
I meet Raúl around the corner from the mural in his studio
where every surface is covered in flecks of paint — from the boombox pumping out house tunes
“Flamenco and street art share a lot spiritually,” he says between puffs on a roll-up cigarette
“Even though graffiti came from street culture in the US
there’s a lot in common between hip-hop and flamenco
and emulates percussive flamenco guitar by rapping his hands against his knees
Breakdancing in the Bronx and the Romanis dancing in Sacromonte — it’s not so different.”
(Spend the perfect day in Granada with our guide to the city.)
“The sounds complement each other, but so do their origins,” Vicente says. “Working classes, poverty, struggle — flamenco and hip-hop are from different countries, but their sentiments are the same.” They’re not the only ones in Granada merging the two genres, and Vicente says that the profusion of flamenco through all aspects of city life is partly responsible. ”The influence of flamenco is everywhere in Granada,” he says. “Music, painting, poetry, cinema — everywhere.”
Then there’s the local accent. Andalucian Spanish is particularly suited to rap: it’s pleasingly sibilant, and the tendency to chop the ends off words creates a consonant-rich cadence that clicks like castanets.
More than anything, for these rap stars — just as for the gitanos of Sacromonte in centuries past — flamenco is a wellspring for the downtrodden, of love, passion and revenge. And duende, of course, which Pepe says is a state of being for Granadinos. “You can feel the duende anytime — it doesn’t matter if you’re practising karate or making a coffee,” he says. “Flamenco is a frame of mind.”

Ohio — Residents at Granada Gardens in Warrensville Heights told News 5 they are fed up with their living conditions after showing us pictures and videos of black mold and piles of trash overflowing in several dumpsters and hallways at the apartment complex
“I got pictures of everything,” said Gladys Jackson
“My water broke in my apartment in December
there’s a call for transparency and accountability
“We’d like to see everything fixed and we’d like to see management be held accountable,” said Thomas Bricker
the vice president of Granada Gardens Tenants Association
News 5 met up with some of those tenants who shared their concerns with us
RELATED: Warrensville Heights tenants protest at city hall over poor apartment living conditions
Back in November 2023, News 5 learned of a mouse infestation, water leaks and squatters sleeping in the common areas, so we showed up at their protest outside Warrensville Heights City Hall, which eventually led to improvements after management told us they would invest $5 million to fix the place up.
But people like Louis Brownlowe said the situation is getting worse again, and he said he’s afraid things won’t improve after a recent court order reinstated the previous landlord.
“Since the old company took back over again, there’s just no work that’s being executed,” said Brownlowe.
News 5 tried calling the apartment’s front desk and the leasing line and also searched an online database for any contact information for Granada Apartments LTD, but we couldn’t get anyone on the phone.
In the meantime, Senior Attorney Catherine Donnelly said they will continue to find legal solutions to help the Granada Gardens Tenant Association.
“Not every solution is going to be a legal solution, but we’ve been trying to come up with legal solutions to support their advocacy for improving the conditions,” said Donnelly.
News 5 did receive an email from the leasing office to let us know our message has been forwarded to one of their leasing professionals and we should expect a response to our request very soon.

New York City FC hosts Inter Miami CF this weekend
For this edition of 'The Away End' presented by Berkeley College & Rennert International
co-host of the Battered Herons: An Inter Miami Podcast
How long have you been covering Inter Miami CF
We’ve been season ticket holders since the inaugural season
On the pitch clinching our first playoff berth against our rival Orlando City Oct 2022 and lifting our first trophy last summer
What were your thoughts on the 2024 season
The expectations were high with the ultimate goal being to get that first star over the badge
Many in the fanbase(myself included) set the bar at multiple trophies this season
but they’ve fallen short of every possible trophy thus far
We are still excited that we are in a position to get the supporter shield and can still get that star we’ve been waiting for
This season can’t be deemed a success or failure until December 7th though
What are your hopes for what remains of the 2024 season
What do you think will be the deciding factor in Saturday's game
the key to this game will be avoiding costly turnovers from our back line when being pressured
Aviles is constantly giving the ball away when he feels pressure and we constantly give up big opportunities or scoring plays to the opposing team off those turnovers
We also like to build up the left wing with Alba but with the narrow field I’m not sure how much that changes
And for any fans that might be in Miami for a game in the near future are there any spots you'd suggest they check out
For anyone that’s never been to Miami the most lively place to visit is Wynwood
You’ll find a little bit of everything there and I believe Art Basel will be there for the weekend of December 7th so if anyone comes down to watch Miami play in the MLS Cup final that weekend
they could go party at Art Basel after the game
A win to follow up the victory against Bologna in the EuroLeague
as Barça defeated Granada 86-93 in a game that was never in jeopardy
but Coviran Granada and the blaugranes both managed to score well in the first two quarters
The difference was the Barça were more efficient throwing threes than the home side
Abrines scored two in a row early on and his side compounded his efforts as the first quarter went on (26-33)
Parker scored 11 during the first half and the blaugranes ended up +11 at one point
Granada then came back to only two points after scoring nine without reply (43-45)
but back came Barça to go in nine points up at the break (44-53)
The blaugranes maintained the lead in the third quarter
with both Punter and Parker showing their class to help the team to a 12 point lead with a quarter to go
but such was the visitors' control that they couldn't do any real damage
A three pointer by Punter – who top scored with 21 – took the score to 90 points and a +16 lead for Barça
All in all a very solid and comfortable 86-93 win for Barça
a home match against Gran Canaria (20 April
Noua (18) and Ndiaye - starting five - Silverio (15)
Abrines (6) and Fall (8) - starting five - Punter (21)

The soon-to-open accommodations feature a lush courtyard
By Lia Picard
Standing out against a sea of high rises with its creamy stucco and red-tiled roof, the Hotel Granada is set to open later this month in Midtown Atlanta
the property breathes new life into a century-old architectural gem
This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply
Originally built as the Granada Apartments, the property went through several transformations before it was purchased by Monomoy Property Ventures and Scarp Ridge Capital Partners. When it opens, it’ll be operated by Aparium Hotel Group with an all-day restaurant
The hotel underwent an extensive renovation by architect Ken Gowland of MetroStudio
An inlay tile that says “Granada” greets you at the threshold
and an original fountain adds ambiance to the courtyard
With its lush crape myrtles and wicker furniture
the courtyard is an especially stark juxtaposition with the steel and glass that tower over the historic property
“We felt we could take this building that’s one hundred years old and create something that’s totally unique and distinct in Atlanta
with what will be this open-air lobby as a defining feature,” says Kevin Vaughan
The lobby exudes Spanish-meets-Southern charm
like the wallpaper featuring pomegranate seeds and nods to Atlanta or the art curated by the Savannah College of Art & Design
“Our intent is to stay an independent and locally driven hotel,” Vaughan says
Though petite in stature at only four stories
Hotel Granada’s freshly painted stucco facade pops against the modern Atlanta skyline
a restaurant serving light cocktails and Spanish and Southern-inspired dishes like empanadas and deviled eggs
“We think we can create a neighborhood place that the people in these new high rises and all around Atlanta can come to,” Vaughan says

A new film based in Orthodox Jewish Community aims to highlight the mental-health issues felt by many young people there as they struggle to deal with the pressure to conform and succeed
who arrives home from studying at a Yeshiva
Levi is unable to communicate how he feels to his family
He would rather study to become an architect but feels he is letting his family down by wanting to take a different path
The film is the brainchild of Manchester-based political podcaster Eli Hassell
Eli said: "I want young people in the community who are going through mental problems to be able to watch this film and realise there is a way out
a lot of younger people suffering with mental health and sometimes really bad cases
Eli says while the community is self supporting
somewhere where everyone knows everyone else
that can also mean people can be apprehensive about sharing their problems in case others find out
It means mental health issues can be internalised and get worse
And for young people like Levi in the film
who have a very particular path mapped out for then by their family
expressing how they feel can be very difficult
Rabbi Avrohom Yeshaya Goldman was a consultant on the film
Avrohom runs a 24-hour Jewish mental health helpline, based in Manchester
there is a stigma around talking about mental-health
He said: "It's so close the small Jewish community so whenever anyone struggles
they feel that this might be impact who I'm going to marry
"So much so that a father or a sibling or a mother might feel that their family might be better off without them."
He thinks the film is 'phenomenal' and will hopefully help to reduce the stigma around mental health
It's hoped that the NHS will soon be using the film as a tool to get people talking when they work in the Jewish community
CALM, or the Campaign Against Living Miserably, runs a free and confidential helpline and webchat – open from 5pm to midnight every day
for anyone who needs to talk about life’s problems
It also supports those bereaved by suicide, through the Support After Suicide Partnership (SASP).

A Granada fan who racially abused former Cádiz defender Carlos Akapo during a LaLiga game three years ago has been given a one-year prison sentence by a Spanish court
The court in Granada also handed the supporter a 14-month stadium ban
prison sentences of less than two years for non-physically violent crimes rarely require a defendant without previous convictions to serve jail time
so he is likely to remain free unless he commits further offences
The abuse of Akapo occurred during Cádiz's goalless league draw against Granada at the Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium in February 2022
The fan was caught on camera directing monkey gestures at the Equatorial Guinea international
who was playing for Cádiz at the time of the incident

"LALIGA has received notification of the sentence against the fan who hurled racist insults at player Carlos Akapo during the Granada v Cádiz CF on Feb. 28, 2022," LaLiga wrote on X
"The sentence condemns the accused to one year in prison and a 14-month ban from stadiums
This closes one of the oldest cases of racist incidents that LALIGA is fighting to eradicate hatred in football."
Akapo, who is now on the books of Brazilian club Amazonas FC, applauded the ruling on Instagram while Cádiz also welcomed the verdict
"Cádiz CF is pleased with this news and will continue to ensure the safety and integrity of its members both on and off the playing fields, defending the values of integrity and equality that must prevail in today's society," a club statement said.

Experience sunset in Granada overlooking the illuminated Alhambra palace
Sergi Reboredo/VWPics/Universal Images Group/Getty Images
I first fell in love with Spain in Granada
on my first weekend trip to the city back in 2004
I was standing in one of the city’s cobbled medieval streets
with water trickling down the channels either side
munching on a chorizo tapa that came free with my beer
the dulcet notes shimmering out of an open window
Unsurprisingly, I keep going back to Granada whenever I can, and encourage friends and family to make the trip as well; I have no shortage of recommendations on what to do and eat in the city
Before you set off, there are a few things to bear in mind, particularly if it will be your first time visiting the city
When to arrive: Granada rewards visitors no matter the length of their itinerary
While the best weather usually falls in the months of May and June
you can expect plenty of visitors throughout the year
How to get from the airport: Irregular (but roughly hourly) buses run by Alsa ply the 18km (11-mile) route between the city center and Federico García Lorca Granada Airport
Getting around town: Granada’s Centro district is fairly flat
although many of the key sights are on hilly
Since these characteristics are not particularly conducive to driving or to public transport
Granada can be quite a difficult place to navigate for those with mobility issues
although the Alhambra has decent wheelchair access
Prepare for extremely hot weather in summer
Morning: Start your day with toasted bread topped with tomato, olive oil and salt (mollete con aceite y tomate). A great place to try it close to the Alhambra is the aptly named I Need Coffee – a cozy space with limited seating
ideal for fueling up for the uphill trek to the Alhambra entrance gate
While you’ll be given a specific time slot for your entry to the Nasrid Palaces, the other two areas can be explored at your leisure. I recommend saving the ornate beauty and fountain-filled patios of the Nasrid Palaces for last, and starting at the Alcazaba, the monument’s oldest section. Tickets can often sell out a month or more in advance, so book as early as possible. Use only the official ticketing site to make your purchase
and don’t forget to bring your passport with you for entry
a classic feature of Mudéjar (Moorish) architecture
located closer to the teahouse’s namesake museum
whose fantastic €65 tasting menu showcases traditional Andalusian fare
Dinner: Keep the Lorca theme rolling with dinner at Chikito on Plaza del Campillo
There’s a statue of Lorca at work at one corner table – commemorating the fact that he and a group of intellectuals known as El Rinconcillo met in this building in the 1920s
For a popular traditional dish that they probably ate in those days
Barça were taking no prisoners on Saturday against Granada
they made it four wins out of four with a superlative display of attacking football on a day that captain Marta Torrejón was honoured on her 20th year in the elite of Spanish women's football
The game itself got off to the perfect start when Ewa Pajor netted her third goal of the season after just two minutes
it would not be until the 35th minute that they extended their lead when Marta's corner was volleyed home by Alexia
the goals would eventually start raining down
Graham started her own particular show when a penalty on her was converted by Alexia
and then her shot was turned goalward by an opposing defender before the Norwegian laid on the assist for Pajor to make it 5-0
Within the space of little more than ten minutes
Keira Walsh had a goal disallowed for offside before former blaugrana Ornella scored a lovely consolation goal for the visitors
Fridolina Rolfö added her name to the list with a brilliant solo goal
Graham Hansen finally got her own name on the scoresheet off an Aitana assist and then Ewa Pajor completed her first hat-trick for the club
scored a screamer on 78 minutes and a penalty on Kika was converted by Alexia deep into injury time

in the 17200 block of West Sesnon Boulevard in the Granada Hills/Porter Ranch area near O'Melveny Park
CA —A small brush fire broke out Granada Hills and quickly prompted evacuations
but crews were able to stop the fire's forward progress at 31-acres
in the 17200 block of West Sesnon Boulevard in the Granada Hills/Porter Ranch area near O'Melveny Park
burning in medium brush under erratic winds
said Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart
An immediate mandatory evacuation was issued but then quickly downgraded to a warning and the LAFD has lifted the earlier evacuation warning
The order was issued for residents at Balboa Boulevard and Interstate 5 on the east
Sesnon on the south and Sunshine Canyon Road on the north
said the Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters on the ground and in the air were able to tackle the Archer Fire quickly
