‘Màkari' Is a Sun-Dappled Italian Mystery
One of TV's most reliable food groups is the light mystery set in a sumptuous locale populated by eccentric townspeople. The Italian series 'Màkari' (in Italian, with subtitles) is a hearty serving, with plenty of Sicilian vistas and pastas to go around. Season 1 is available on Amazon, MHz Choice and the Roku Channel; Season 2 and the recently released Season 3 are on only MHz Choice. Our hero here is Saverio (Claudio Gioè), a former government employee who slinks from Rome back to Sicily, where he hopes to find enough inspiration to write his novel. Boy, does he! Mishaps and misdeeds abound, as does town gossip. Murder, he wrote, as people divulge all kinds of secrets. They occasionally balk at Saverio's interview requests only to be won over by his earnest curiosity — or by his persuasive flattery. A character in a novel based on little old me? Well, now that you mention it. … The show is based on a series of books by Gaetano Savatteri and comes from some of the same writers as 'Detective Montalbano,' which is also set in Sicily and has a similar aesthetic. Technically, Saverio is not a detective and thus does not have a partner. Practically, he totally is, and his partner is the excitable Peppe Piccionello (Domenico Centamore), who ropes him into schemes and side gigs and frequently offers philosophical musings and sauce-making guidance. Saverio also immediately strikes up a romance with a local waitress (Ester Pantano), though his reputation as a womanizer precedes him. 'Màkari' is not quite as snappy as the Caribbean-set British procedural 'Death in Paradise,' but it follows in that show's sandy footsteps. As in 'Paradise,' it's best for both the show and the viewer not to dwell too much on the loss of human life but instead to revel in those gem-blue waters and clever deductions. 'Màkari' has all the requisite real estate porn and some jazzy cars, too; every rock is sun-dappled, every table set with stylish yet unfussy serving ware. Let's brainstorm theories of the crime while bobbing romantically in the ocean, why don't we. There's a languid ease to everything here, a comfy absence of real tension, and even the pace of the installments is relaxed. Although there are only four per season, each is just under two hours long, which can feel leisurely, a way to unlearn one's internal 'Law & Order' clock of when suspects should be confessing.

The Biggest New Restaurant Openings This Month
This is Eater's guide to all the new restaurants, bars, and cafes that opened in June 2025. This list will be updated weekly and is a round-up of new places in the city we're interested in checking out. When we've been to a place, and like it, we will then include an abbreviated number of openings on our heatmap to let you know the ones that are actually worth it. Stay tuned. If there's an opening in your neighborhood that we've missed, let us know at ny@ Chinatown: King co-owner Anni Shi has debuted an independent wine bar, Lei, with a Chinese American menu on a historic street in the neighborhood. It opens on Friday, June 6. 15-17 Doyers Street, near Pell Street City Island: This seafood haven, an island off the Bronx mainland, has a new restaurant called ATIK. The Mediterranean spot comes from an owner of neighboring Vistamar, a Latin restaurant on the island, alongside partner Josh DeCuffa, a City Island lifer 'whose grandfather founded the beloved next door Jack's Bait and Tackle in 1945,' per a spokesperson. 555 City Island Avenue, at Cross Street Crown Heights: Bottega, a new coffee shop and sandwich spot, has opened in Brooklyn from the team behind Italian restaurant Maretta in the East Village. 215 Rogers Avenue, at Union Street Long Island City: It's a speakeasy switch-up; a cocktail bar stationed inside the Taiwanese street food concept Gulp, which was formerly called 929, has been replaced by one called 56709, with an 1980s Japanese theme. 42-45 27th Street, near 42nd Road Noho: As you might've heard, it's a great time for Vietnamese coffee in New York, the latest is 88 Coffee, which debuted at Bowery Market, according to EV Grieve. 348 Bowery, at Great Jones Street Nomad: Mama Mezze, a new Mediterranean spot, has debuted near Madison Square Park, with a 100+ seat patio. It comes from the team behind the Italian restaurant group, La Pecora Bianca, which has several iterations in the city. 1123 Broadway, at West 25th Street Penn Station: Dining options around Penn Station have leveled up over the past year. Now, Sunday Hospitality — known for Rule of Thirds in Greenpoint and overseeing the new hospitality projects at the reborn Hotel Chelsea — is opening something new in the area. It seems every new restaurant is looking to old-school New York steakhouses as of late, and the Dynamo Room is no different. But in Sunday's hands, this could hopefully be the de facto dining-out option before going to Madison Square Garden. 2 Penn Plaza Rockefeller Center: Lobel's Original, from the family that runs the butcher shop, Lobel's of New York (it first debuted on the Upper East Side in 1954), opened an offshoot at Rock Center. Several sandwiches, including a prime rib version, are for sale. 30 Rockefeller Plaza, rink level Upper East Side: Marlow East features a Southern-inspired menu that ranges from buttermilk fried chicken and Parker House rolls to country-ham-and-pimento croquettes. 1022 Lexington Avenue, at East 73rd Street Upper East Side: The Frick Collection opens its new museum restaurant this week. Westmoreland — the museum's first restaurant in 89 years —will debut starting on Friday, June 6. It's overseen by the Danny Meyer-founded Union Square Events, in a kitchen led by chef Skyllar Hughes, who had most recently been at Meyer's Italian restaurant Ci Siamo. It's part of the museum's overall renovations, which debuted back in April. 1 E. 70th Street, at Fifth Avenue West Village: Dell'anima is what Grub Street describes as 'once an early 2010s favorite,' where celebrity couple sightings were frequent. It has been revived in what was the old home of Pearl Oyster Bar, followed by the short-lived Figure Eight restaurant. 18 Cornelia Street, near West Fourth Street Sign up for our newsletter.

Food Network star Guy Fieri loves Florida but sold one of his homes in Palm Beach County
Florida is a favorite of celebrity chef Guy Fieri with dozens of restaurants statewide featured on his Food Network show "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." But does Palm Beach County hold a special place in the spikey blonde's heart over other Sunshine State locations? Maybe. In 2022, the Mayor of Flavortown donated donated $20,000 to Lake Worth Community High School's culinary academy. More recently, Fieri fed Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office employees from his new East Coast Disaster Relief Trailer in April. And in November his foundation joined Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar in Boca Raton to raise money for hospitality workers affected by 2024 hurricanes. Fieri has also bought and sold real estate in two Palm Beach County cities, including a sale this year of a waterfront home in Lake Worth Beach. Guy Fieri, whose birth name is Guy Ramsay Ferry, bought a waterfront home in March 2021 for a recorded $3.9 million in Lake Worth Beach, which is just south of West Palm Beach. The 7,400-square-foot home is in an exclusive seven-home gated community where one of his neighbors was Olympia Bishop, sister to actress Brook Shields. Two years after the purchase in Lake Worth Beach, Fieri bought a second home on Singer Island in Riviera Beach. The $7.3 million Mediterranean-style house is on a coveted corner lot on Singer Island in Riviera Beach less than 2 miles from the Lake Worth Inlet, also called the Palm Beach Inlet. The buyer in official Palm Beach County records on both homes was a limited liability company called Gus Ritchie 1 — a possible play on the names Gus Ferrari and Guy Ritchie, which Fieri has said fans have called him by mistake. More: Flavortown returns: Guy Fieri's 'DDD' Food Network series features 4 Palm Beach County restaurants Fieri put his Lake Worth Beach home on the market in September 2023. The list price for the 6,000-square-foot home was $8.75 million. That price was slashed several times before it sold in January for $7 million. While that's nearly double what Fieri paid for the home, it's $1.75 million less than what he hoped to get for it. The price drop wasn't unusual as the housing market has cooled from its rocket ship ascent during the pandemic. About 28% of Palm Beach County single-family homes were forced to drop prices in January 2025, according to the online brokerage firm Redfin. That increased to 30% in April.. The buyers of the 24-year-old house were Las Vegas restauranteurs Frank Bonanno and his wife, Betty Pellegrino Bonanno, according to Palm Beach County official records. Frank Bonanno is president of Fifth Avenue Restaurant Group. His first forays into the culinary industry included the 1976 creation of the Famous Chocolate Chip Cookie Co., which eventually was sold to the Mrs. Fields cookie empire. Fifth Avenue operates more than 40 restaurants in the Las Vegas area, according to its website. Fieri still owns the property he purchased on Singer Island in Riviera Beach. The nearly 10,000-square-foot waterfront property has room for a 100-foot-yacht. The Singer Island home is not in a gated community but is located on the dead-end street Coral Way. It has 230 feet of water frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway and a canal. Built in 2008, it has a total of 9,870 square feet with 6,620 under air conditioning. There is a three-car garage, a large pool, summer kitchen, five bedrooms, hand-carved coral stone fireplaces and pecky cypress ceilings. More: Sneak peek inside Guy Fieri's new waterfront home on Singer Island near West Palm Beach Whether Fieri kept the furniture, which included a smothering of leather and heavy dark wood pieces, is unknown but sources familiar with the sale said at the time that the chef visited the home more than once and would likely undertake a hefty remodel. Prior to Fieri buying the home in 2023 for $7.3 million, it had last sold in June 2022 for $7.9 million. The property is not homesteaded, which is a designation that caps property tax increases if the owner registers the home as their primary residence. It's unknown if Guy Fieri plans to move to Florida permanently. He told the Bradenton Herald in 2021 that his family would stay in Northern California at least until his youngest son Ryder finishes high school. Ryder Fieri graduated high school in 2024. Guy Fieri and his wife Lori moved Ryder into his dormitory at San Diego State University in August of that year, according to People. Fieri's older son, Hunter Fieri, graduated with a master's degree in business administration from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida.
