At the height of the pandemic , Ilson Leir Goncalves was winning a reputation around Montclair, N.J., as a restaurateur who refused to quit. In the spring of 2020, he sold his house and put the proceeds toward expanding his restaurant, Samba Montclair , so customers could sit farther apart. When everything in the restaurant was destroyed the following year by floodwaters from Hurricane Ida, he mobilized to get the place up and running again in less than a week. He hadn’t always been a paragon of perseverance. Just before Covid, he quit dating and gave up on love. “I figured out that my purpose in life was not to have a relationship,” he said. “It was to cook for people who don’t have money.” A life with room for both seemed out of reach until he met Yasar Sakman last summer. Mr. Goncalves, 42, is from Brazil. Long before he swore off romance, he had quit thinking of that country as home. In 2004, he visited New York for the first time on a monthlong solo vacation. Instead … [Read more...] about For a Restaurateur, the Secret Desire for Romance Was Finally Sated

First: Bring earplugs. Not just because the songs in “Bad Cinderella,” the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that opened on Thursday at the Imperial Theater, are so crushingly loud. The dialogue, too, would benefit from inaudibility. For that matter, bring eye plugs: The sets and costumes are as loud as the songs. If there were such a thing as soul plugs, I’d recommend them as well. That’s because “Bad Cinderella” is not the clever, high-spirited revamp you might have expected, casting contemporary fairy dust on the classic story of love and slippers. It has none of the grit of the Grimm tale, the sweetness of the Disney movie or the grace (let alone the melodic delight) of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Instead, it’s surprisingly vulgar, sexed-up and dumbed-down: a parade of hustling women in bustiers and shirtless pec-rippling hunks. Finally, a Cinderella for streetwalkers and gym rats! That this is the supposedly improved version of the musical that opened in London in … [Read more...] about ‘Bad Cinderella’ Review: The Title Warned Us

Spain's first major wildfire of the year raged in the eastern Valencia region on Friday, destroying more than 7,413 acres of forest and forcing 1,500 residents to abandon their homes, authorities said. An unusually dry winter across parts of the south of the European continent has reduced moisture in the soil and raised fears of a repeat of 2022, when more than 1.9 million acres were destroyed in Europe — more than double the annual average for the past 16 years, according to European Commission (EC) statistics. “These fires we’re seeing, especially this early in the year, are once again proof of the climate emergency that humanity is living through, which particularly affects and ravages countries such as ours,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez told a news conference in Brussels. In Spain, 493 fires destroyed a record 758,613 acres of land last year, according to the Commission’s European Forest Fire Information System. More than 500 firefighters supported by … [Read more...] about Hundreds evacuated as major wildfire rages in eastern Spain
