The team behind Winona's has opened a Mexico City-inspired cocktail bar
Earlier this spring, we said farewell to Leyenda, Ivy Mix and Julie Reiner's bar in Cobble Hill. Lucky for us, an alum of the Pan-Latin bar is back, shaking up cantina-esque tipplers in Bed-Stuy. Introducing a Mexico City-inspired cocktail bar and cantina to Bed-Stuy, Dolores (397 Tompkins Avenue) opened its doors on July 2. The new bar is a joint venture from husband-and-wife Cressida Greening and Emir Dupeyron, the duo behind the beloved Crown Heights eatery, Winona's. Pulling on Dupeyron's childhood growing up in Mexico City, the resulting bar channels cantinas found in the area mixed in with art from the 1930s and 1940s. Transforming the space—which previously held the dimly lit, cocktail lounge and queer bar, Oddly Enough—the bright green exterior now houses hand-carved tables, green velvet banquettes and a walnut and marble bar. Channeling the rhythm of the city, albeit, in liquid form, the team tapped the surefire talent that is Leanne Favre. A renowned mixologist, Favre previously held the title of creative director at Cobble Hill's Clover Club and worked as creative director and head bartender at the shuttered Leyenda. As partner and beverage director of Dolores, Favre is shaking up agave-forward cocktails, including tried and true cantina staples with Margaritas on draft and Palomas with just the right amount of carbonation. Creativity continues with the Mexican Espresso Martini, a riff on the classic Carajillo cocktail, that swaps out espresso for a Mexican-made coffee rum and amaro. Meanwhile, her Midnight Cowboy martini variation comes with a spear of cotija-stuffed olives. Naturally, it wouldn't be a cantina without some food. Botana, or shared snacks, dominate the menu with Sopes con Picadillo, Chicharrónes Fritos or fried pork belly and a Pressed Seafood Aguachile with a combo of octopus, shrimp and squid. There's also a full menu of tacos to be had here, much of which take note from famous eateries found across Mexico. The Cochinita Pibil Turix with its Yucatán-style braised pork takes inspiration from El Turix taqueria in the Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City while The Lengua 'El Bosque' is an homage to the decades-old Bar El Bosque in the San Miguel Chapultepec area. But the weekends are sure to lure taco lovers of all kinds with its Tacos de Canasta deal. Translating to 'basket tacos,' the tacos are filled with various meats, covered in oil and layered in baskets to steam and stay warm. Available on Fridays and Saturdays from 11pm until sell out, this late-night bar bite will run you $2 per taco. So come the weekend, let's just say, you'll know where to find us.

NHL broadcasting legend Bob McKenzie retires from TSN after 25 years
Bob McKenzie was breaking NHL news to the 11th hour of his broadcasting career, a consummate professional. Indeed, at 4:10 p.m. ET on July 1, he was posting on X (formerly known as Twitter) about Justin Danfourth being signed by the Buffalo Sabres. At 4:38 p.m. ET, he was posting about his total retirement from sports broadcasting and TSN, a stark contrast to his bio on X as "Washed up Hockey Insider." McKenzie, who will turn 69 in August, has been one of hockey's eminent voices since he began appearing on TSN in the mid-1980s. He wrote that while he has been semi-retired for the past five years, it's time to officially call it quits from the broadcasting game. REQUIRED READING: Dallas Stars hire Glen Gulutzan for second stint as head coach TSN, for those unfamiliar, refers to "The Sports Network," one of Canada's leading distributors of sports alongside Sportsnet. McKenzie worked for TSN full-time from 2000, but he was appearing on the network since, as he writes, 1986-87. Reactions to Bob McKenzie retirement While McKenzie is ubiquitous with hockey, Canadian sports fans as a whole would recognize his voice, if not his face. As such, plenty of fans had reactions to losing one of the great voices of the sport. Bob McKenzie is the absolute 🐐.Gonna be weird to not have him around - but he's more than earned all the Margaritas coming his a classy send off for @TSNBobMcKenzie by the TSN crew. Hard to not get a bit emotional while watching this. The last trade ever to be broken by the legendary Bob McKenzie is Marner to is the best to ever do it. The tribute to Bob McKenzie at the head of Free Agent Frenzy was wonderfully and emotionally done. No one has done more for hockey coverage - across so many venues in so many ways - than Bob. All the best in retirement, legend. 'All I wanted to be was a hockey writer'When @TheHockeyNews brought me on board as a freelancer, the mere fact I was writing for a magazine Bob McKenzie essentially ran once upon a time was an honour. Bob set a ton of standards. All the best in retirement, @TSNBobMcKenzie When you see Bob McKenzie's career laid out, it's stunning. He's seen the sport grow from 18 teams to 32, representing the game perfectly as a reporter, documenting the world of hockey better than anyone before, & very possibly anyone after. To a happy retirement, @TSNBobMcKenzie

Everyone can see the Margaritas but only the most eagle-eyed can spot the cocktail without the lime
A slice of lime is almost obligatory with a Margarita SIP TIP Everyone can see the Margaritas but only the most eagle-eyed can spot the cocktail without the lime Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOR many, cocktails are part and parcel of summer. In fact, recipes for the drinks are searched over 266k in a year, with more than three million searches for "cocktails near me". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Only the eagle-eyed can spot the Margarita glass without a slice of lime on the rim Credit: VSO 3 A slice of lime is almost obligatory when it comes to a Margarita Credit: Alamy And if you're a fan of a DIY cocktail, you're probably well aware of the ingredients that go into a Margarita. So it might not be too hard for you to spot the cocktail in this brain teaser, created by VSO, that doesn't have a lime on the rim. Others might find it harder to spot the Margarita glass without the slice. If you're struggling, divide the image into quarters and take on each part in turn. Just go up and down each column and row, then you can rule out any of the sections that just have glasses with limes on them. For those still unable to find the glass, you might want to check on the left side of the image. Any luck? If not, check the top left of the image and you might be lucky enough to find it. It has recently been proven that doing brainteasers is beneficial to our mental health, as it keeps the brain active. "What is well understood about both the brain and mental health is that people are highly driven to pursue learning," clinical psychologist in neuropsychology Dr Amber Johnston told Yahoo UK. Everyone can see the sun in this hot weather scene - but you're a genius if you can spot 5 differences in under 10 seconds "Anything that offers new challenge and learning opportunities has been found to lead to greater well-being and enjoyment, with studies showing that people prefer to choose a novel and challenging task over an easy, repetitive one, even without reward for participating in either. "Because we are naturally motivated towards challenge and learning, brainteasers fit into a fun category of hobbies that can improve our mental health." How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me? Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.

Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief. It's also important to mix things up - by not doing the same puzzles day after day. "What we recommend for overall enhancement of higher level thinking skills, particularly in an older population worried about having less cognitive stimulation in their daily lives, is to challenge your brain in as many unique and diverse ways as you can," Dr Johnson added. "Maybe a crossword or Wordle, and why not a pub quiz?"
