Want a taste of Italy on Lincoln Road? See what's new at the South Beach mall

Miami Herald2 days ago
A taste of Italy has moved to Lincoln Road Mall. The eight block stretch of shops and restaurants, a pedestrian mall destination since the early-1960s, has brought in some new businesses.
What's new?
A Florentine eatery that's gone viral with TikTok videos gushing about 'the most famous sandwich shop in all of Italy,' a Sicily-inspired gelato brand, and an Italian-inspired women's wear brand making its move across the causeway from Miami's Brickell to South Beach.
A breakdown of what's new on Lincoln Road Mall
Here are the newcomers:
▪ All'Antico Vinaio has quite the social media following, with millions of views for videos touting the original Florentine sandwich shop in Italy. 'If Julius Caesar was reincarnated he'd go to All'Antico his first stop,' a TikTokker named Jacks Dining Room posted a couple of years ago as he was mid-bite into a crusty two-hander, olive-oil painted prosciutto sandwich. All'Antico Vinaio opens its first Florida shop in a 1,793-square-foot space at 647 Lincoln Road touting Tuscan schiacciata sandwiches. A 2025 opening date hasn't been announced yet.
▪ DaVinci Gelato is a boutique gelato brand from the makers of New York's L'Arte del Gelato. DaVinci is now open in a 1,350-square-foot space at 645 Lincoln Road.
▪ Ché by Chelsey has relocated from the growing Brickell City Centre to 830 Lincoln Road. The Italian-inspired and Los Angeles-designed womenswear brand opened a 675-square-foot store.

Former 'Love Island USA' contestant Cierra Ortega apologizes for using racial slur

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former 'Love Island USA' contestant Cierra Ortega apologized Wednesday for resurfaced posts where she used a racial slur against Asian people. Just a week before the reality show's finale, Ortega, who was half of one of the season's strongest couples, left the villa after old posts resurfaced that contained the slur. Ortega addressed the entire Asian community in her nearly five minute TikTok video and said she is 'deeply, truly, honestly so sorry.' 'This is not an apology video. This is an accountability video,' Ortega said in the video. 'I had no idea that the word held as much pain, as much harm, and came with the history that it did, or I never would have used it,' Ortega said. 'I had no ill intention when I was using it, but that's absolutely no excuse because intent doesn't excuse ignorance.' Ortega, who has been back in the United States for about 48 hours, said she has struggled most with the backlash experienced by her family, who she said doesn't feel safe in their own home, and have had immigration authorities called on them. 'There's no need to fight hate with hate. I don't think that that's justice," Ortega said. "And if you want to know that you're heard and that I'm sorry and that I will move differently, I promise you, that's what will happen.' Ortega's removal from the villa was announced early in Sunday's episode. Host Iain Stirling said she had left 'due to a personal situation.' 'I completely agree with the network's decision to remove me from the villa. I think that this is something that deserved punishment and the punishment is absolutely been received,' Ortega said.

Toxic ‘Banksying' breakup trend is the cruel new dating stunt that's even meaner than ghosting

Hoping that your suddenly sour sweetheart will have a sudden change of heart? Don't Bank on it. If your partner is slowly but surely becoming emotionally detached from the relationship, chances are you're being 'Banksyed,' experts warn of the new, heartbreaking breakup tactic. It's a dastardly dumping technique named after Banksy, the elusive street artist. And much like his iconic work, which tends to pop up out of nowhere, victims of the cruel uncoupling stunt typically don't see the surprise split coming. 'Banksying happens more now, especially with the proliferation of dating apps, where people have developed poor dating etiquette,' Amy Chan, a breakup pro, told USA Today. 'The person withdrawing gets the ability to process the breakup on their own terms, before they hand the memo to the other person who ends up being in total shock.' It's a cowardly way to part ways. But, sadly, it seems the gutless guys and gals of today prefer taking the wimpish way out of their romantic commitments. Tech-savvy 20-somethings of Gen Z are tasking artificial intelligence with drafting 'it's not you, it's me' texts, ending things in writing rather than in-real life. And fans of the buzzy 'cut them off' theory are leaving their unsuspecting honeys high-and-dry, arbitrarily ditching them over petty oversights. 'Last year, I was seeing someone that I really liked and I cut him off because he didn't wish me a safe flight,' an uncaring 'cut 'em'-practitioner bragged online. Then, of course, there are those grimey, ghastly ghosters, folks who abruptly discontinue all communication with an inamorata or inamorato without a trace. But Chan says Banskying might be a relationship cruelty 'worse than' ghosting. 'The prevalence of this trend shows how conflict avoidant people have become,' she explained to a TikTok audience of more than 112,000 viewers. 'There's a lack of ability to have uncomfortable, hard conversations, so they do more damage by dragging it out.' Her Banksyed-burned followers agreed. 'Yup — shattered my itty bitty heart into a million pieces,' confessed a crushed commenter. 'Wow can't believe I got Banksyed,' another exclaimed. 'Isn't this just Quiet Quitting: Relationship Edition?,' a separate spectator wrote, likening the breakup trick to the 'quiet quitting' workplace movement, which sees disgruntled employees making under-the-radar departures from their jobs. Emma Hathorn, a relationship insider at says Banksying — although not a totally novel concept — often leaves daters feeling stressed, confused and gaslit. 'Banksying is something that we have all experienced at one point or another,' Hathorn told USA Today. 'Previously, there hasn't been a way to express that subtle feeling of dread when a partner has begun to pull away, essentially icing us out.' 'Emotionally manipulative, emotionally distant — there are plenty of ways that people have tried to define it.' Chan added that Banksying usually makes the unwitting partner feel 'left in the dark, wondering if the relationship is actually solid or if their concerns about it are justified.' 'They might not be using their words to tell you — but their actions are,' she continued. 'They might lie and say everything is 'fine,' but you also have to exert that you're not 'fine' because you can pick up the cues of emotional distance.' 'Don't gaslight yourself into thinking it's OK to sweep the cold behavior under the rug just because they're saying everything is fine, but acting in a way that's completely the opposite,' Chan advised. Hathorn urged Banskying offenders to simply come clean about their fed-up feelings, rather than do their clueless darlings dirty. 'Modern dating is in desperate need of blunt honesty,' she said. 'Being upfront, firm but polite shows that you know what you want and are unwilling to waste your time and a potential partner's time.'

Chimpanzees engage in cheeky trendsetting behavior — proving they're more human-like than you realize, study reveals

Move over, fashion week — the hottest accessory of the season is a blade of grass shoved in your ear. Or, for the truly daring: your butt. Chimpanzees at a Zambian wildlife sanctuary are going viral — not for escaping or throwing poo, but for their bizarre behavior that's as puzzling as it is cheeky. At the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, one group of captive chimps has taken to dangling grass out of their ears, a trend researchers first spotted back in 2010, originally reported on by Live Science. But now, a second chimp clique has upped the ante — by sticking it where the sun don't shine. Yes, you read that right. A new study published July 4 in the journal 'Behaviour' reveals the latest primate pastime involves wedging grass into their rectums and letting it hang like the world's worst tail. Why? Even the experts are scratching their heads. The first trendsetter, a female chimp named Julie, kicked off the grassy-ear craze over a decade ago. After she died in 2013, her son and a few others kept the tradition alive. But it wasn't until 2023 that the butt-branch brigade burst onto the scene. Enter Juma — a male chimp and apparent innovator — who debuted the rear-end version of the fad, which spread faster than lice in a middle school locker room. A new study published July 4 uncovers the chimps' latest pastime: stuffing grass up their behinds and letting it dangle like a sad excuse for a tail. Paul – Within a week, his entire group was in on the gag — er, grass. Researchers, who watched the apes closely over a year, say the trend isn't about hygiene or comfort. It's all about clout. 'In captivity, they have more free time than in the wild,' van Leeuwen said. 'They don't have to stay as alert or spend as much time searching for food.' So with extra downtime and no TikTok to scroll, these chimps are showing off their flair — and perhaps strengthening their friend groups in the process. 'It could also serve a social purpose,' van Leeuwen added. 'By copying someone else's behaviour, you show that you notice and maybe even like that individual. So, it might help strengthen social bonds and create a sense of belonging within the group, just like it does in humans.' As The Post previously reported, wild chimps in West Africa were recently caught on camera cracking open cold ones of their own — in the form of fermented African breadfruit laced with booze. Researchers from the University of Exeter spotted the buzzed behavior in Guinea-Bissau's Cantanhez National Park, where the furry foragers shared the fruit — which clocked in at a light 0.61% ABV — in what may be the original happy hour. 'For humans, we know that drinking alcohol leads to a release of dopamine and endorphins, and resulting feelings of happiness and relaxation,' ecologist Anna Bowland, lead author of the study, noted in her report. Experts say life in captivity gives chimps plenty of downtime — with meals delivered and no predators to dodge, they've got extra time to get weird. Kitch Bain – While the chimps likely didn't get tipsy off the low-proof fruit, scientists are digging into whether these jungle juice hangouts are rooted in early evolutionary bonding rituals. Overall, Charles Darwin never said evolution would be glamorous — just weirdly on-trend.
