Small Bites: At Roseville’s Mito, flavor comes second to imperfect theatrics

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:58:46 GMT

At a restaurant like Mito, there’s a catch.The new Latin fusion restaurant opened in May in Roseville, and its transformation — from the former Grumpy’s — is stunning. Colorful pulsating lights, neon signs, a live sax player and… is that a table magician?Mito is a restaurant built around an immersive atmosphere, a theatrical experience.But here’s the catch: This introduces hundreds — thousands! — of tiny details that might not have otherwise existed. And successfully pulling off the experience means nailing each and every one.This is tremendously difficult to accomplish. Managers and servers are now also stage directors and performers. The high menu prices aren’t just food costs; they’re admission tickets.The food and drinks during a recent dinner at Mito were, by and large, pretty good. But the theatrical elements were a little rough around the edges, which made the overall experience feel less satisfying than it might’ve had the theatricality not been thrown into the mix at all.We...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Rebecca, and it's about time. Here's her email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I'm having an issue with someone I work with and I'm looking for advice. How long does someone get to use the "I'm new" excuse when they can't get things done at the office. I work in a lawyer's office with several other paralegals, and there is ALWAYS a lot of work to be done...and most of it is very important and timely. However, I work with a paralegal who we'll call Kelly, who continually tries to push work off onto myself and other coworkers, all while using the excuse that she's new. But the fact is, she's not new. She's worked in our office for almost two years now. She lets things slip through the cracks, and we end up having to clean up her mess. Is it fair for me to tell the bosses that she is using the "I'm new" excuse? Or would you still consider two years a...

Dear Amy: I’m a 35-year-old woman.A few months ago, my brother (age 37) and sister-in-law caught me smoking pot in my home.Now they won’t let their kids (ages 6 and under) come over to my house.We used to have regular sleepovers once or twice a month.We live in a state where marijuana is legal, and I was using it to self-medicate and manage my mental health.After this incident, I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder, which, as it turns out, I have lived with (undiagnosed and untreated) since childhood.As soon as I started medication, I no longer felt the need to smoke, and all aspects of my life have changed for the better. I feel like I am waking up from a profound disability.I would like to explain all of this to my brother in hopes of reconciling.However, my doctors tell me to stay away from them, as being around their judgmental and self-righteous attitude could trigger a relapse.Should I let my close relationship with a sibling (and even closer rel...

EU sanctions: New law to crack down on violations 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:58:46 GMT

The law would ensure that EU sanctions are enforced uniformly across member states, with common definitions and dissuasive penalties.MEPs in the Civil Liberties Committee adopted a draft negotiating mandate on violating and circumventing EU sanctions by 36 votes in favour, two against and two abstentions.
