Keith McNally's Memoir Has Been Optioned by ‘SNL' Creator for Screen Adaptation
Balthazar was already a celebrity magnet, but now the story of its making might be getting the Hollywood treatment. Hot off the success of New York City restaurateur Keith McNally's memoir, I Regret Almost Everything , the Hollywood Reporter breaks news that his longtime friend, Saturday Night Live creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels, who is mentioned throughout the book, optioned it. This means that the book might be adapted into a movie or miniseries — full circle for McNally, who has made films himself. Maybe the last scene will be soundtracked by Taylor Swift's 'All Too Well (10 Minute Version),' per McNally's preference. Brooklyn restaurant's renovation break Fort Greene wine bar restaurant Margot is taking a renovation break this month. An Instagram announcement shared that the restaurant, which opened in May 2023, will spruce up its space and revamp its menu (again). It'll be closed from Monday, June 16, through Sunday, June 29, and will reopen with a party on Monday, June 30. Meanwhile, rumor is the co-owners, Halley Chambers and Kip Green, are working on signing a new lease in the West Village, an Instagram attached to their bio lists the restaurant name as Cleo. Wood-fire pop-up comes to Upper West Side Chef Justin Smillie, an Il Buco alum, is bringing his wood-fire pop-up Slow Fires to Upper West Side restaurant the Milling Room this month. He'll serve up wood-fired pizza, vegetables, and meats.

Bellshill businesses and residents to benefit from changes to parking rules on Main Street
Local MP Frank McNally has highlighted the changes to parking. Bellshill businesses and residents are set to benefit from changes to parking rules on the Main Street. Local MP Frank McNally held a small business surgery in the town on March 14 - with business owners and customers highlighting major challenges with current parking enforcement arrangements, which was impacting footfall and income. Subsequently, Mr McNally hosted a well-attended all-trader meeting at Bellshill Cultural Centre to discuss solutions and then presented proposals to North Lanarkshire Traffic Enforcement Officers, alongside local councillors Pat Patton, Anne McCrory, Beth Baudo, Jim Reddin, Helen Loughran and Helena Gray. As a result, North Lanarkshire Council has agreed to draw up significant changes to the existing Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), which will now be consulted upon. The major shake-up will see the complete removal of the existing 7.30am to 9.30am and 4pm to 6pm, the extension of parking from one to two hours on the Main Street, the realigning of the bus stop length to allow for additional bays, the establishment of no restriction loading bays, the removal of designated taxi bays and the examination of additional bays on Main Street between Glebe Street and Church View Gardens. Commenting on the development, Mr McNally said: 'I'm pleased to see real progress being made following the concerns raised by Bellshill shop owners, customers and shoppers. 'I have held a number of small business surgeries across the constituency in the last 10 months, but Bellshill was the only occasion where every business owner raised the exact same issue, parking enforcement challenges. It is clear that the current arrangements are not working and changes are needed. 'Therefore, I am delighted that North Lanarkshire Council has listened, taken our important proposals on board and is now seeking to deliver major changes to the TRO as a result. 'These changes do require consultation, but they will represent a positive step forward for Main Street.'
