F. Nephi Grigg had an unbeatable scheme. Nephi and his brother Golden had traveled 2,883 miles from the tiny Oregon border town where they ran their frozen potato company to the white sparkling sands of Miami Beach.
This was 1954. The Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami was the new shining jewel on Millionaire's Row: the dramatic sweeping curve of its design facing the seemingly infinite ocean, all the tans of 1950s Miami laid out beneath the balcony views on hundreds of lounge chairs sidling up to the pool between the hotel and the beach. It was remarkably grand, irresponsibly luxurious.

As one Landmark movie theater — the beloved Sunshine Cinema on the Lower East Side — prepares to close in 2018, another one will open, albeit with a completely different vibe. The theater, called The Landmark at 57 West and situated on the ground floor on Bjarke Ingels's West 57th Street courtscraper, is set to make its debut on Sept. 15.
As we previously reported, the eight-screen theater will have a private bar, which will be called JD's Place, along with design elements like a video wall and a special light display. As is de rigueur for movie theaters these days, the theaters themselves will be equipped with plush leather recliners, plenty of concessions (including ones from NYC purveyors like Two Boots and Fat Witch), and laser projection screens.

 If you ask anyone under the age of 13 what the symbol "#" is, they'll unanimously say "hashtag." 10 years ago this week, the pound sign was officially rebranded as the hashtag, thanks to Twitter. On Aug. 23, 2007, Chris Messina, a former Google employee, tweeted, "How do you feel about using # (pound) for groups." And that was that. Twitter made it happen, and it became a defining characteristic of the network — and really an integral part of every social network.
