A development across the street restaurants and retail to the neighborhood which was bold enough to launch pop-ups honoring TV shows like The Office we are evolving and we believe this is the perfect concept looking forward,” Hays said He and Schanbaum are also re-concepting their restaurant Sfuzzi nearby. It will soon reopen as Hendy’s. Boogie’s will have a “relaxed, low-fi vibe” in the evenings, Hays shared. Then it becomes “a high-energy underground house music venue” with a pricey sound system. Visitors after 10 p.m. can order Boogie Bottles, or batched cocktails that can be shared. Hays expects bottles of Champagne to be popular, too. Service will be “focused on hospitality and not theatrics,” Hays said. Boogie’s will be at 1806 McMillan Ave., Dallas. It is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2025.

For the complete archives, go here he poured a couple of the brand’s tequilas and mezcals for me to try pairing them unexpectedly with local cheeses creamy notes in the liquor — totally different than the smoke-dominant mezcal I was accustomed to he showed me something I’d never seen before: cooked pieces of agave from the very same plant that had produced the mezcal I was drinking It brought to life something I’d known but not understood so viscerally: that agave spirits are expressive of the plants that make them Dan’s ease with the topic and friendly knowledge made me want to learn (and drink!) more Not long after that, a kitchen fire ravaged Tequilas, forcing the family to close for more than two years as they rebuilt and reimagined the whole space Dan is now preparing to introduce Philadelphia to La Jefa which has transformed the back half of Tequilas’s building into an all-day cafe with natural wine and agave-focused cocktails We chatted about how he’s brought La Jefa to life the connections between Philadelphia and Guadalajara The idea for La Jefa came from … my mom’s nickname and everyone said “La Jefa!” at the same time And that’s kind of when it clicked for me that I wanted to open a restaurant or bar with that name I see it as the next evolution of Tequilas because … Tequilas needed to grow and it was pushing forward the conversation in Philadelphia about what Mexican food could be The whole thing is trying to do what Tequilas did in the beginning The process of rebuilding the restaurant has been … long It has taken so much longer than any of us thought but it also has given us the chance to really think about what matters to us in this space it all came from Mexico and I think you can feel that when you’re in here La Jefa will serve … a really amazing brunch every day we’re open which is like a carnitas sandwich kind of drowned in a tomato sauce with this idea of Guadaladelphia that we’re exploring rooted in traditional stuff but we’re serving it the way people are doing it now in Mexico My favorite dish is … the pastrami de lengua on the lunch menu We’re calling it Guadaladelphian food because … we want to represent what’s going on right now in Mexico and the connections between Mexico and Philly The coffee program is led by … Shakur Armstrong, our head of coffee and fermentation. We’re sourcing beans from Mexico through a partnership with Cafe Estelar which is this amazing coffee roaster in Guadalajara but also Mexican coffee drinks that you can’t really get anywhere else in Philly La Jefa will change into … two different bar programs while the back will be a more intimate space with a different menu we’re calling La Jefa Milpa The difference is … La Jefa Cafe will be more casual with amazing house-fermented high balls with things like an agave soda we’re fermenting ourselves out of cooked agave we’re importing from our distillers but Shakur is making this incredible ginger beer from scratch Milpa refers to the oldest style of farming in the world and the idea is that each cocktail is going to be symbolic of an ingredient that’s a part of that all ingredients that are important in Mexico My collaborator on this is … Danny Childs He and I have become friends and we went down to Mexico and brought back tons of ingredients that we’ve been using to develop the recipes and we’ve had a ton of fun working together on this cocktail program My favorite cocktail is … this masa Ramos that we’re doing pulling from a traditional Ramos gin fizz [which has egg white and heavy cream.] It’s a corn spirit base called pox and it kind of drinks like a masa milkshake Tequilas’s style is … educationally focused hospitality but the purpose for them is to kind of like be a window into what’s going on in Mexico and in the world I hope La Jefa will be … a space where people can come and have fun You can dance a little bit and have a great mezcal in your hand and also feel really connected to the story that we want to share I hope we do for cocktails what Tequilas did for Mexican food How Not to Be the Most Annoying Dog Owner at Every Philly Cafe Where Philly’s James Beard Nominees Like to Eat (and Drink) This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Neighboring businesses are anxious to see if a fire that collapsed the roof of the vacant building that once housed one of Redding’s more notorious bars will finally spark the city into action to do something about the problem property the former Bert & Ernie’s building on Industrial Street had been red tagged by the city Investigators believe the early morning fire was human-caused accounts manager at NorCal Presort & Printing said code enforcement officials told her on Friday the city is fast-tracking the demolition of the building which has been vacant since the bar closed in late 2012 Code enforcement officials did not reply to two phone messages seeking comment "This placard is not a demolition order" in capital letters “I don’t know why it has taken so long because we have been on top of it by calling and letting them know about different things that are going on in there,” said Asher whose business is next door to the former Bert & Ernie’s Asher and other businesses for years have complained to the city about homeless people camping in the building Moule’s California Glass owner Michelle Tegerstrand said the illicit activity around the building has gotten worse in recent years The glass shop also is next door to the former bar “Even in the last month we have had to report five different incidents to Redding police,” she said “People are going in there tagging the building We had somebody break into our parking lot and (break) into our trucks.” Reding Fire investigator Ron Krznarich said he was inside the building about two weeks ago with code enforcement officials and at the time saw evidence of warming and cooking fires "The building is heavily known to have transient activity." Krznarich added that the building’s electricity and gas had long been shut off So that would rule out those two potential ignition sources for a fire He said there is an open code enforcement case on the building but Krznarich did not know the specifics of it The former Bert & Ernie’s building owner could not be reached for comment code enforcement issued a notice of noncompliance to the property owner violations that included trash and debris piles Bert & Ernie’s was no stranger to police calls when it was open.

Tom Umberg (D-Orange), chair of the state Senate Judiciary Committee, and many legal experts have called on the state bar to ditch the new questions and revert to the traditional test format in July — at least until new questions and methods are adequately tested. After the botched roll out of the new exam in February the state’s highest court directed the agency to plan on administering the July exam in the traditional in-person format deans at more than a dozen California’s American Bar Assn.-accredited law schools wrote to Patricia Guerrero chief justice of the California Supreme Court expressing “serious concerns about the exam’s fairness and validity.” The deans urged the court to release all 200 multiple-choice questions that were on the February exam and return to using the NCBE’s Multistate Bar Examination for the multiple-choice portion of the next exam signaled Friday that California should push ahead with its own bar exam “As the fourth largest economy in the world it is only right that California develops its own bar exam and that ultimately that exam reflect the innovation and accessibility principles that are central to who we are as Californians,” she said in a statement “We will not get there by turning backward.” Wilson first took on the role of executive director in 2017 but exited briefly to work for a consulting firm before returning in 2021 She faced additional scrutiny for her income — she earned an annual 2023 salary of $362,067 plus $59,968 in bonuses — at a time when the state bar is struggling financially “Stagnating revenue and increasing personnel costs,” California’s state auditor said in a recent report, “have led its general fund to a deficit in four of the last five years.” Still, Wilson said she was proud of her time at the helm of the state bar, citing her efforts to make the organization an “exceptional workplace” that resulted in “strong staff engagement, positive union relationships and historically low turnover.” “Over the course of nearly 10 years, I have had the privilege of leading the State Bar through a period of transformative change,” Wilson said in a statement. “I am particularly proud of our efforts to elevate and offer real solutions to the access-to-justice crisis in our state, make real our commitments to increasing equity and inclusion in the profession, and stabilizing the State Bar financially,” Wilson added. Brandon Stallings, chair of the state bar’s Board of Trustees, praised Wilson’s leadership, noting she had played a key role in advancing many of the organization’s critical initiatives. “The Board recognizes the significant contributions that Leah Wilson made during her tenure, particularly in the concerted effort to recognize and address racial disparities in the discipline system,” Stallings said. “We understand and respect her decision, and we are grateful for her service.” Jenny Jarvie is a national correspondent for the Los Angeles Times based in Atlanta.

New York You may not be familiar with the name Bryan Schneider, but if you've knocked back a pepperoncini martini at Bad Roman or a handful of Bangkok screwdrivers at Twin Tails he’s certainly treated you to a drink Tending bar since 2005, Schneider has shaken and stirred at some of New York’s most beloved drinking establishments starting with Daniel, eventually overseeing the aforementioned bars while working as the beverage director of Quality Branded Schneider always envisioned owning his own bar his vision was a modern, maritime meeting place ripped from the pages of Herman Melville’s classic novel “While reading the novel a decade ago I took about ten pages of notes for a Moby-Dick-inspired bar,” Schneider told Time Out New York also describing how he was taken by the book’s ties to New York and the vivid description of the smoke-laden Ten years passed before Schneider serendipitously came upon his prized find a bar space near the waters of the Hudson River And so he decided to harpoon his own catch.   Last Friday, Quick Eternity opened its doors at the South Street Seaport in the Financial District bringing forward Schneider's interpretation of a seaside whaling tavern through a modern lens The name of the drinking den is drawn directly from chapter 41 of Moby-Dick: “...to chase and point lance at such an apparition as the Sperm Whale was not for mortal man would be inevitably to be torn into a quick eternity.”  Less of a dive for weary souls and more of a modern revue to raise spirits the two-level bar features heavy brick walls leather-backed chairs and cherry wood tables etched with mother of pearl accents a private event space that also houses Idler Books an independent bookstore offering a thoughtfully curated selection of new and used titles—including a collection of vintage editions of the obviously inspiring seafaring classic plans to develop literary programming as well including a reading club that will take a deep dive into The most eye-catching sight is found behind the bar on the first floor Beyond the polished driftwood counter sits a darkened mural of the whale from the novel the picture is framed by weathered bones seemingly pulled from the beast itself The maritime mural was commissioned by Tribeca-based artist Azikiwe Mohammed whom Schneider met while studying art in college.  I gave Azikiwe a particular passage in chapter 3 that describes an oil painting in the entrance to the inn,” said Schneider “Azikiwe created his own version of the painting described in that passage.” Mohammed's touch is felt elsewhere as well The bar has partnered with New Davonhaime Food Bank an organization conceived and operated by Mohammed that provides fresh produce and pantry staples to New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity you can sip on a menu of cocktails that pull from references and excerpts from the book made with Perry’s Tot Navy-Strength Gin The Rachel (made with Michter’s bourbon lemon and a float Three Valleys red wine) has a double meaning here: it's named after the whaler ship that eventually pulls Ishmael from the water in the novel and Schneider's own wife Upgraded tavern fare comes courtesy of chef Antonio Mora Morandi and Quality Meats) has created a New England-accented menu The chilled Manhattan clam chowder eats more like a ceviche spun with classic chowder flavors while the Captain’s Crunch is reminiscent of a Frito-Pie that swaps out chips for prawn crisps yours to shake up with Du Breton pork chili Filling meals from the gallows include the Gam Burger with charred onions and a “chaos” sauce the sticky toffee pudding is drizzled with a Navy-Strength Jamaican rum caramel is a go-to looking for a good drink or simply enjoy a well-rounded bar, head to Quick Eternity for a good time Thanks for subscribing!

Nearly 60 percent of post-exam survey respondents reported that the exam software froze or otherwise became unresponsive during the multiple-choice question portion of the exam Over 60 percent of respondents said the wording of the multiple-choice questions did not align with standard legal terminology and phrasing 75 percent reported that the copy and paste functions didn’t work In response to these problems, the California State Bar issued a press release last week announcing that it was making “scoring adjustments” for the exam The press release also contained an admission unassumingly positioned more than halfway through the statement that may at least explain some of the exam’s strange wording: Some of the multiple-choice questions were developed by nonlawyers using “artificial intelligence.” and anxiety” and offered “all applicants who wish to withdraw from the February exam a full refund (less bank fees).” which should theoretically reflect the minimum competence necessary for entry-level attorneys in the state and which is not intended to screen entry-level attorneys The remaining 23 questions came from ACS Ventures itself I want to stress here that this means that the same company charged with evaluating bar exam questions’ validity were writing some of the questions California’s debacle also underscores how useless the exam is in the first place—or rather how ineffective it is at achieving its stated goal (It was admittedly very effective at making me so stressed I missed menstrual cycles and gained 30 pounds.)

Sign In PogChamps 6 continues to amaze fans and commentators alike Players found new and creative ways to blunder their queens and entertain the audience on the first day of the knockouts Sapnap and Steve Nedoroscik defeated Sambucha and Inoxtag to move on to the Semifinals of the Championship Bracket LydiaViolet and Linzor beat Macaiyla and Hungrybox in two chaotic matches PogChamps 6 continues May 2 with the Semis and Finals of both brackets There's no more right; there's no more wrong We're now entering a world where knights cannot be taken The match between LydiaViolet and Macaiyka was like something out of a Dali painting one could not help but marvel at its unique beauty Things started out normally in the first game of the match. Macaiyla went for the Cow Lydia eventually won that first game after taking all of Macaiyla's pieces It is hard to describe what happened in that second game Attacked knights could just laugh at enemy pawns without ever being taken Queens could come and go as they pleased without fearing the guillotine even Macaiyla was begging for it all to end: Those who appreciate chess (or art) can check the full game on our Events page Lydia shared her thoughts on her stream after the game: "You know when people are like 'Is it about the journey or is it about the destination?' It's about the destination Meanwhile, DrLupo, who was replaced by Macaiyla due to a Fair Play violation, offered a new explanation during a stream today after incorrectly saying on Wednesday that he had dropped out of the event DrLupo went on to say he is "appalled and embarrassed" by his own actions I deserve 100 percent what people are saying The previous match was clearly too much for anyone to handle as our official broadcast crashed and burned delaying the start of the second match.  No one knew what to expect of the match between Linzor and Hungrybox once everything came back online Hungrybox got into time trouble and let the comeback slip leading us to believe that the secret to success is giving the queen back you will never guess what happened in the tiebreak game Linzor ultimately won the match after delivering her "nicest checkmate yet" and moved on to the Semifinals we're all used to pog players giving up pieces In the first game between Sapnap and Sambucha it was Sapnap's turn to give up a rook for a bishop But what if I told you it was not a blunder One does not need calculation when armed with vibes Sapnap went all in and played an epic sacrifice to go after Sambucha's king.  And just as Sapnap was wondering if he had overcooked Sambucha could not resist and left his king open for a checkmate Sapnap won the first game and made history The second game was a more balanced affair Both players played well and took the game to a knight and rook endgame Sapnap then found a fork to win a crucial pawn: promoting one of his pawns to a queen and checkmating his opponent to end the match.  Sambucha offered an interesting analysis that showed a deep level of understanding that few chess players could display: but the important question of who would win a fight between 100 men or one gorilla Inoxtag and Steve Nedoroscik were the two highest-rated players in the quarterfinals Both players made mistakes throughout the first game but both also failed to duly punish their opponents But if there's one thing we've learned is that it's never too late for disaster. Despite being a pawn up, Inoxtag allowed Steve to promote first. With a rook against lone pawns, Steve had the game on his hands. But then, WFM Alexandra Botez just had to jinx it but Inoxtag found great defensive resources to keep his advantage Steve eventually turned the tables and got a winning attack against Inoxtag's king.  It was then that Steve went for a genius tactic and that's all Steve needed to take the match to tiebreaks Both players fought well in the blitz tiebreak but Steve found a tactic first to win material Inoxtag was playing too fast and allowed Steve to penetrate with his queen it didn't take long for Steve to win the tiebreak and the match where Group A and B leaders will join the party Pedro Pinhata is the Writing Lead for Chess.com He has been playing chess since 2019 and lives in Brazil Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP is pleased to announce that Charles L.

"We are currently looking into this matter," Philadelphia police told Fox News Digital "A video has surfaced showing a sign at the Philly Barstool bar We are working to gather more information and will provide an update as soon as possible." Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, shared multiple videos on social media on Sunday reacting to the incident.  I've been so mad for the last two hours this is why the emergency press conference is late because I was so over the top," Portnoy "I'm going to fuc-ing make it my life fuc-ing mission to ruin these people "You think I'm going to put up with this sh-t at my bar?" Portnoy also claimed in a video that two kids allegedly involved in the incident attend Temple University in Philadelphia.  Temple has since shared that the university has identified one student believed to have been involved and placed that individual on interim suspension, according to Fox 29 Philadelphia. John Fry, the university President, also released a statement explaining that the alleged actions will not be tolerated at Temple. "In the strongest terms possible, let me be clear: antisemitism is abhorrent," Fry said in the statement. "It has no place at Temple and acts of hatred and discrimination against any person or persons are not tolerated at this university." After Portnoy's original ‘Emergency Press Conference’ on the situation, he shared another video on social media and explained that he would be sending those involved in the situation to Poland to visit Auschwitz in hopes that they will learn something. "My initial reaction was that I am going to fuc-ing burn these people to the ground, their families, and it's like you know what, maybe that's not the best course of action, maybe I can use this as a teaching moment," Portnoy explained. A spokesperson for the bar said two of its employees involved in the incident have been fired. "We are saddened, embarrassed, and frustrated by the deplorable actions of a customer and misguided staff acting outside the scope of their duties, which resulted in anti-Semitic hate speech last evening at our establishment," the bar said.
