Belle's Bagels redefines the Jewish deli while sticking to its roots
But the founders of Belle’s Bagels see a different future. Their new deli and bar in Highland Park is a tribute to traditional Jewish deli culture — but with some modern twists. Nick Schreiber, co-founder of Belle’s Bagels, Delicatessen and Bar, shared what makes a Jewish deli work. “To me, a Jewish deli needs pastrami, corned beef, matzo ball soup, good smoked fish, and, last and most importantly, Chinese chicken salad. A Jewish deli feels less like a restaurant and more like a grandmother’s living room,” Schreiber said.

Alexandria City Council approves bus lane and new bike path near Bradlee Shopping Center
The Alexandria City Council approved a series of changes to King Street near the Bradlee Shopping Center last night (Tuesday), but the discussion also touched on wider issues about how the City tackles its transportation infrastructure. The changes will take the access two-way road parallel to the Bradlee Shopping Center and turn it into a one-way westbound street with a dedicated bus lane and a two-way bicycle trail. Vice Mayor Amy Jackson, however, said she was concerned about the impact of the changes on some of the already strained traffic near the Bradlee Shopping Center. If your experience is ‘I’m at Bradlee Center and I don’t see anyone coming on a bike;’ Those restaurants and stores are not getting those customers. I go to Cortada Cafe, further from my house, because I can get there much more safely than I can the Starbucks and Duck Donuts at the Bradlee Center.

Justin Timberlake postpones world tour stop an hour before showtime due to injury
Justin Timberlake canceled a Tuesday night show in Newark, N.J., about an hour before it was set to begin. “I promise to make it up to you and give the show y’all deserve,” he wrote on Instagram. One fan cheekily wrote “this is gonna ruin the tour,” a callback to Timberlake’s alleged remarks to law enforcement when he was arrested in June. He is next scheduled to perform Friday in Philadelphia but it is unclear whether his injury will also scuttle that show. The singer will wrap the tour in Kansas City, Mo., on Dec. 20.

‘A toddler with a Ph.D.:’ Series to teach on possibilities, limitations of AI
However, it’s not the AI technologies that develop these abilities for themselves — It’s the human minds behind them. He will discuss the limitations of AI’s potential, explaining where we must draw the line in attributing abilities to these technologies. “AI is like a toddler with a Ph.D.,” Marks said. The important line to draw on this subject, he believes, is to define the limits of where AI can even replace a human role. Generative AI is one of those technologies that really disrupts the way we have been living,” Pack says.
