An offer you can’t refuse: Calling all lovers of The Godfather trilogy — the mob drama is returning to cinemas for a limited theatrical re-release in 4K to mark its 50th anniversary. The re-release will only include the first film in the trilogy on the Corleone family (which is, in any true cinephile’s opinion, the best of the three). The movie will land tomorrow at Vox cinemas across Egypt. Watch the restored trailer here (watch, runtime: 2:02).

☕ EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Go for coziness and comfort as the weather gets more outdoor-friendly at cafe and eatery Bittersweet in Arkan Sheikh Zayed’s new extension, which is home to many of our favorites. The bright red-colored cafe, with a cherry blossom tree in the middle of its indoor area promises a cozy vibe, even if you only settle down for coffee and a book. The menu is simple yet diverse, ranging from breakfast savories, including make your own croissant, to homemade salads, pastas and sandwiches and refreshing juices and freshly made coffee. We’re pretty old school, so we recommend their class margherita pizza, topped with fresh buffalo mozzarella and basil leaves. Don’t miss their Quatro Leches Cake, for some milk goodness or their Gorilla Tiramisu, which uses its single soil origin Gorilla coffee.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Exploring power dynamics and financial inequality through the lens of a young working-class girl’s relationship with an older financier, “A Very Nice Girl” by Imogen Crimp follows the story of 24-year-old Anna, who dreams of being an opera singer. While working at a jazz club, Anna meets Max, a man several years her senior who is not yet divorced. Anna is seduced and falls in love, despite Max stressing that their whole relationship is based on “only fun,” even as he convinces her to abandon her studies altogether to spend time with him. Because of the relationship, Anna starts to lose herself and her once-strong love for art. Crimp’s debut novel highlights the complexity of being a vulnerable young woman in a new city trying to find your identity while falling into complicated toxic relationships that you know you should avoid.
