The City's Biggest Nautical-Themed Restaurant Will Drop Anchor in Chelsea Next Week
Next week, Grand Banks brothers will open their biggest nautical-themed restaurant yet: This one, The Yacht Club, serving lunch and dinner, debuts on Thursday, July 17, on the rooftop of the Starrett-Lehigh Building in Chelsea (212 12th Avenue, between 26th and 27th streets). The 20,000 square-foot seafood restaurant from Alex and Miles Pincus literally spans the width of a city block, says a spokesperson, with indoor seating for 85 and a sprawling patio. The opening follows their recent rollout of Sailor's Choice in Hudson Yards – the sprawling, 200-seat drinking spot for summer. It is the 11th location around New York from their hospitality group, Crew, with others including Grand Banks, Pilot, Island Oyster, Drift In, High Tide, and Holywater — a mix of places literally on the water or aquatically-themed.
The Pincus brothers have hired Andres Grundy (formerly L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon and Raoul's) as chef with starters like homemade oyster crackers, three types of butter with a baguette and radishes, oysters, smoked trout roe on souffled potatoes, shrimp cocktail, caviar, and, naturally, a seafood tower (a whopping $250). The menu is laden with snacks like deviled eggs, sardines, sliders, kebabs, and tartare ($8 to $95 for first courses). There's a trio of salads to choose from, a few ways to order lobster, and main dishes like tilefish, skate wing, and steak Diane ($38 to $48). A separate outdoor menu for the terrace and cabanas focuses on snacks and share plates, from small pizzas to kebabs and sliders. Drinks are wine and bubbles, along with straightforward cocktails like spritzes and palomas.

Two unexpected closings
Heroes, the splashy debut Soho restaurant from Ariel Arce, is temporarily closed for construction, according to Instagram. And over in Greenpoint, Mariscos El Submarino – one of several locations, following the original in Jackson Heights and the new spot in Jersey City – has a Department of Buildings order to vacate plastered to the door, at 222 Franklin Street, as of yesterday. The restaurant posted on Instagram yesterday stating that a fire in the building has halted operations for now. The shop has two more locations in the works, according to the website: One in Park Slope and another Clinton Hill. Eater has reached out to both locations for more information.
A Hamptons pop-up
Attaboy is also headed to the Hamptons. From August 11 through 17, the Lower East Side Korean cocktail lounge will take over the Billy Durney's Sag Harbor Tavern at 26 Bay Street. Just like in New York, drinks will be customized for each customer. –Beth Landman

Netflix is losing a dark psychological thriller movie about obsession — don't miss this chance to stream it
Netflix is about to remove a dark psychological thriller movie that captures the crushing pressure of perfectionism. "The Novice" may have been overlooked since its 2021 release, but it's one that absolutely deserves more attention. The story follows a college freshman who joins her university's rowing team with fierce determination, despite having little experience. As she pushes herself harder and harder to make the varsity crew, you'll witness the physical and emotional struggles that come with striving for such an elusive spot. If you love psychological thrillers that don't hold back, this one will probably linger in your mind for quite some time. It's a slow-burn that might make you wince, all anchored by a mesmerizing lead performance that brings the character's struggles to life. But this intense story won't be available on Netflix for much longer as it leaves on July 25. Those who want to experience a thriller that's both powerful and haunting, don't wait. Here's why this dark psychological thriller deserves your attention before it leaves the streaming service. 'The Novice' follows Alex Dall (Isabelle Fuhrman), a determined college freshman who joins her university's competitive rowing team. Though new to the sport, Alex immediately sets her sights on making the varsity crew, despite having little experience. She throws herself into grueling training sessions, pushing her body beyond its limits. Her relentless drive quickly puts her at odds with teammates and coaches, who question her methods and the toll it takes on her health. As the season unfolds, Alex isolates herself, neglecting friendships and ignoring warning signs of exhaustion and injury. The movie chronicles her intense daily routine — early mornings on the water, punishing workouts, and mental battles to keep up with more seasoned athletes. Alex's single-minded focus causes mounting tension in the team dynamics, testing loyalties and resolve. I decided to give 'The Novice' a chance when I saw it had the 'leaving soon' tag on Netflix, and I'm glad I did, because this psychological thriller ended up being a huge surprise. That's exactly why I feel like I have to write about it, so more people don't miss out. Lauren Hadaway's debut blurs the lines between sports drama, psychological thriller, and character study. It follows college freshman Alex Dall as she throws herself headfirst into her university's rowing team at a fictional Northeastern school. Like everything else in her life, Alex tackles rowing with a fierce determination to earn her place even if it means pushing herself past every limit, breaking expectations, and taking a serious toll on both her body and mind. As she trains harder, she begins to see teammates and friendships as distractions, first training alone, then later fighting for her spot once the crew is fully formed. Fuhrman, who's been carving out a name for herself in the horror world, delivers what might be her best performance yet. She completely disappears into the role, matching Alex's intensity every step of the way. You believe her because she brings the same raw drive and stubborn focus to the performance that the character lives and breathes. Plus, rowing rarely gets much screen time, which immediately makes 'The Novice' feel fresh. While sports dramas are common, this one refuses to follow the usual feel-good victory path. Instead, it leans hard into psychological tension, giving the story a much darker tone. Aside from the central performance, one of the standout elements for me was the incredible sound design. At times, it's disorienting listening to every breath and oar stroke, even uncomfortable, but that's the whole point. You can tell the director has a background in sound as it's used so intentionally. You don't need to take my word for it either. 'The Novice' has an impressive rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, with audiences scoring it slightly lower at 70%. The site's critics consensus reads: 'A remarkable first feature for writer-director Lauren Hadaway, The Novice paints a thrilling and disturbing portrait of obsession.' And I have to agree with this statement. 'The Novice' might not have made a huge splash when it first dropped, but I'm hoping it will find another streaming home and gain an audience there. If you're into psychological thrillers that aren't afraid to get a little messy, this is one you won't want to miss. And with it leaving Netflix soon, now's the perfect time to watch. I'd watch it for the sound design alone. Stream "The Novice" on Netflix until July 25.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle mocked for second time in ‘Family Guy' episode: ‘Like all of your wives are so much better?'
'Family Guy' is at it again. The animated show mocked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle a second time in its most recent episode, two years after it first took a jab at the royal couple. Advertisement In the July 17 episode, 'Twain's World,' in which characters Brian and Stewie (both voiced by creator Seth MacFarlane) travel back in time, the talking dog compares the couple to some of history's worst events. After Stewie warns Brian that taking a certain action while traveling through the past could 'change the course of history,' Brian answers, 'You always say that, but doesn't history pretty much suck?' Then, using the comedy rule of threes, he mentions Hitler and the Crusades before Stewie quips, 'Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markle.' In the next moment, the show cuts to one of its signature cutaway gags with Harry sitting on a couch watching the episode. Advertisement 'Again?' he complains of the joke, before turning toward the camera with his hands on his hips to say, 'Oh, like all of your wives are so much better?' 'Family Guy,' which is known for not pulling punches when it comes to its pop culture digs, first took aim at the Sussexes in 2023. 6 'Family Guy' mocked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in a recent episode. Family Guy/FOX In that episode, main character Peter Griffin, also voiced by MacFarlane, sits in a bar with friends pondering how to get back money he is owed when he jokes that he'll 'go it alone, just like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.' Advertisement The scene then cuts to cartoon versions of Harry and Meghan poolside as a butler approaches with an envelope. The butler says, 'Sir, your millions from Netflix for … no one knows what.' 6 The July 17th episode titled 'Twain's World' showed a cartoon of Prince Harry on the couch, shocked that the show joked about him again. Family Guy/FOX Prince Harry waves him away, saying, 'Put it with the rest of them.' Advertisement Markle then gets a notification on her phone and declares, 'Babe, time to do our daily $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco.' The animated prince sighs and says, 'I shouldn't have left the made-up nonsense.' Animated comedy 'South Park' also made fun of the couple in a 2023 episode, 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour.' 6 The couple found themselves the butt of the joke in a 2023 episode of the series, in which their money-hungry ways were mercilessly mocked by the animated show. FOX 6 'Family Guy' first took aim at the Sussexes in 2023. Getty Images Described as royalty from Canada, they are depicted throughout the episode as simultaneously demanding privacy while seeking attention, appearing on talk shows and stages around the world. Prince Harry's memoir even got a satirical new title on the show, changed from 'Spare' to 'WAAGH.' The fictional couple decided to move to South Park to convince people they are 'really serious about wanting to be normal,' soon unloading their private jet and moving into a house across the street from character Kyle Broflovski. Advertisement Kyle is routinely distracted by them and complains to his friends at one point, 'I'm sick of hearing about them! But I can't get away from them. They're everywhere!' 6 The pair were brutally mocked in a 2023 South Park episode over their decision to move across the pond in a desperate bid for privacy. Comedy Central 6 Prince Harry spoke at an event with HALO CEO James Cowan on Wednesday. AP Advertisement The Canadian royalty eventually visit a branding agency, which teases that 'victim' is part of their brand. Though they never addressed it publicly, a source told The Spectator that Markle had been 'upset and overwhelmed' by the episode and was 'annoyed by 'South Park' but refuses to watch it all.' Representatives for Seth MacFarlane and the Sussexes did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
