If you’re a kid at heart, you’ll surely like the new eatery that just opened recently at Krog Street Market. It’s called Recess and that’s the greatest name ever.

You’ve eaten at a Castellucci joint before (Bar Mercado, Iberian Pig, Cooks and Soldiers, Double Zero) and they’ve done it again with Recess.
The 15-seat food stall has been operating as a pop-up as of late, offering free treats and healthy dishes for patrons to try.

Art may be imitating life in a big way for a select group of cities around the United States.
The end of the box office smash “Black Panther” features T’Challa telling his sister that she will spearhead a Wakanda-backed science program for school-aged kids in Oakland. Well, now Disney is reportedly making that dream into a reality.
ComingSoon is reporting that Disney will be donating $1 million to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America to aid its STEM program. Other Boys & Girls Clubs that will benefit include those in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Harlem, New York; Hartford, Connecticut, Memphis, New Orleans, Orlando, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Watts, California.
“Black Panther” has amassed more than $700 million in two weekends and is well on its way to a $1 billion return, virtually assuring at least two sequels and deep integration with following Marvel movies, including “The Avengers.”
To really appreciate how big “Black Panther” has been, consider its $404 million haul after its first 10 days is the second-fastest-grossing movie of all time, beating 2017’s “The Last Jedi ($368 million), “The Avengers” ($373 million) and “Jurassic World” ($402 million).
Only “The Force Awakens” ($540 million) took in more over that time period.
Across the genre, “Black Panther” is the eighth-best selling superhero movie ever.
