This Brooklyn bar is shaking up MTA-themed cocktails
One of Brooklyn's favorite neighborhood bars is reaching a major milestone this month: Grand Army Bar is turning 10.
For the past decade, this Cobble Hill drinking destination has kept us buzzed and entertained with its rotating cast of cocktails, from honky-tonk tipplers and ' cats (not the musical) ' to an entire lineup dedicated to the life and style of Nicolas Cage. The latest menu to drop draws inspiration from New York's transit system that we love to hate: the MTA.
Yesterday, the bar unveiled 10 new cocktails, including a frozen drink, all dedicated to our subway rides. Priced at $18, cocktail names will instantly be familiar to anyone who has ridden the train in the last five minutes, from the Fare Evasion with mezcal, manzanilla sherry, cantaloupe and chamomile, to the sparkling Showtime with gin, herbs, lime, banana and mint. Shouting out the Bronx, there is Van Cortlandt Park, a tiki cocktail whose bright orange color nods to another mainstay in the area, Lloyd's Carrot Cake. While the BDFM trains get lumped into one cocktail, the G Train gets its very own. Also named the G-Train, the Brat-colored cocktail comes with Mexican gin, cilantro, poblano, blanc vermouth and gentian. However, it is uncertain if it will also take 20 minutes to arrive at your table.
Shots also get the transit treatment, with the option to order Local or Express. There are also a few zero-proof bevies for the non-alcoholic crowd, including the Stand Clear made with house-made grape soda, cardamom and elderflower, and the Accessible Station with spirit-free gin, papaya, guava and clarified coconut yogurt.
Keep in mind, if you plan on attending the 10-year block party this weekend on Sunday, May 4, these new cocktails will be stuck at the station (aka, they won't be available). However, we implore you to check out the party and make a return trip for these subway inspired sips.

She's an iconic actress from a famous Hollywood family and was married to another Oscar winner... who is she?
This Oscar-winning star has spent decades in the spotlight and comes from a famous family. Her first role was in 1987's Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and she went on to score an Academy Award years later. One of her two recognizable ex-husbands, Nicolas Cage, is also an Oscar-winning A-lister. And her younger brother appeared in a horror movie franchise, where he met his superstar ex-wife. On Thursday, the female star attended the Gonzo Girl premiere at Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. Can you guess who it is? The acclaimed Hollywood veteran is Patricia Arquette. For Thursday's occasion, the 57-year-old actress — who r evealed she's on dating apps earlier this year — modeled a midnight blue satin dress with long-sleeves, a waist tie, and a long pleated skirt. While posing on the red carpet, the Escape at Dannemora was joined by 53-year-old brother David Arquette. The Scream sensation was by his sister's side to support her film, which she directed and also stars in. He was dressed in a cherry-red blazer, which he layered over a crew neck white T-shirt and wore with light-colored khaki trousers. The Hollywood vet, who shares 20-year-old daughter Coco with ex-wife Courteney Cox, tied the look together with white, black, and red Nike sneakers. The Arquettes' other siblings are 65-year-old Rosanna Arquette, 61-year-old Richmond Arquette, and the late Alexis Arquette, who died of HIV in 2016 at age 47. Patricia carried a yellow-gold handbag on Thursday evening and her light brown bob was coiffed in a side part and tight waves. While posing on the red carpet, the Escape at Dannemora was joined by her younger brother, actor David Arquette While on the red carpet she also posed with the star of her film, 27-year-old actress Camila Morrone. Morrone, who used to date Leonardo DiCaprio, looked typically stunning in a form-fitting and low-cut white dress. Her long and lustrous brunette locks were parted down the middle and flowed over her chest in a subtle wave. Camila stars as Alley Russo in Patricia's dramedy Gonzo Girl, which is based on the 2015 novel of the same name by Cheryl Della Pietra. Alley is a bookish graduate with literary aspirations who takes a job assisting a famous writer with a wild reputation, Walter Reade (Willem Dafoe), at his Colorado ranch. Arquette premiered the indie project at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2023. Since then she's recut it in hopes of landing a buyer. She told IndieWire about her directorial debut, 'I feel so grateful to the producers and for this opportunity to go back in and continue to learn about the filmmaking process and be able to re-edit this movie. 'It's been really fun and interesting, and so many people have helped in this process. It's exciting.'

Chatting to TV Biz on the set of ITV's Celebrity Catchphrase, Stephen revealed a secret behind Roy's famous 'It's good… but it's not right' saying, which he'll never emulate. Stephen said: 'The reason he used to say that is he never used to wear an earpiece to the production team.

'So to give him more time, Roy would go, 'it's good..' wait for the floor manager to go down or up… then 'but it's not right' or 'and it's right!'. Which is amazing, really, isn't it? 'I find it fascinating that Noel Edmonds, Roy, Bruce Forsyth, all those legendary performers and presenters never wear earpieces. 'They just don't like it. Brucie never did it, even on Strictly.'

Slicked-back Christian Bale bats away his Dark Knight image to play NFL great Al Davis in Madden biopic
Christian Bale was more cantankerous coach than caped crusader as he appeared on set this week for his latest film. The actor - famed for his roles in Batman and American Psycho - was seen shooting scenes for the NFL-themed biopic, Madden, in which he will play the late Oakland Raiders owner and manager Al Davis. For the shots, the 51-year-old Hollywood star had balding hair slicked back and wore a leather jacket and white T-shirt. The David O Russell movie boasts an all-star cast, with Nicolas Cage starring as John Madden, the Raiders coach and NFL broadcaster who gave his name to the Madden NFL video game. John Mulaney plays Trip Hawkins, the founder of Electronic Arts, while Sienna Miller plays Madden's wife. Al was the managing general partner, principal owner and de facto general manager of the Raiders for 39 years, from 1972 until his death in 2011. On Monday, Sienna and Kathryn Hahn were spotted for the first time in their elegant retro attire as they got into character. Sienna, 43, was particularly glammed up with voluminous blonde curls, beaded necklaces and a glimmering dress with a 60s-inspired print. Kathryn - who plays Virginia Madden - was outfitted in over-sized sunglasses, a chic pea coat and striped turtleneck. Sienna is playing Carol Davis, who was married to Oakland Raiders owner Al from 1954 until his death in 2011. While the Raiders are now in Las Vegas, the team has remained in the Davis family since Al died. Carol is now 95 and is part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, after inheriting the team from her spouse. Their only child, son Mark Davis, 70, also inherited the organization and is now owner. After the team officially moved to Sin City's Allegiant Stadium, Carol helped christen the venue by lighting the Al Davis Torch Memorial ahead of the Las Vegas Raider's inaugural game in 2020. 'There's only one person that can possibly light it, and she's agreed to do it, that's the first lady of the Raider Nation - my mom,' Mark told ESPN at the time. 'I get chills thinking about it. I get goosebumps thinking about it. Probably tears thinking about it. But there's nobody that could have lit it other than her. 'Because it's really a tough time in the country, but also here in Nevada, we don't want to seem that we're celebrating or anything of that nature. 'But to have my mom light that torch means so much, and I think it will mean a lot for everybody in this valley, so I'm excited.' Like the Davis couple, Virginia was married to John Madden from 1959 until his death in December 2021. They have two sons. In early 2022, Virginia returned to the RingCentral Coliseum in Oakland to pay tribute to her late husband at One More Monday Night in Oakland: A Celebration of John Madden. 'When John passed, I said, "I want to have a gathering at the coliseum," ' she said. 'I know he's up there and I know he's smiling down on all of his players that are here and all of you people, the fans that supported him for so many years.' A synopsis of the Madden film on IMDb reads: 'After being forced into retirement by the Oakland Raiders, fiery former NFL head coach John Madden teams up with a mild-mannered Harvard programmer to rewrite his fading legacy by building the world's first football video game.'
