DaVinci Italian Eatery is named for the Renaissance artist Leonardo -- you can tell by the 30 interpretations of his portrait of Mona Lisa on the walls. Sorry, but I'm going to be tedious for a minute. "Da Vinci" is not the great man's last name; it signifies that Leonardo was from Vinci, a town in Tuscany. No matter what Dan Brown says.

A World of Strangers (1962)
The Danish director Henning Carlsen has Max Roach to thank for the revival of “Dilemma,” his debut feature from 1962. Screening as part of Jazz Score, the Museum of Modern Art’s survey of movies with original jazz compositions, this black-and-white drama gets a blast of vitality from a soundtrack hopped up on Roach’s bebop and the infectious swing of Gideon Nxumalo, a South African composer ...
