Shilo Sanders' Food Blogging Adventures Go Wrong Again After NYC Rat Encounter

Shilo Sanders just wanted something to eat. Again. The former Colorado football player, whose recent visit to a Florida chicken restaurant ended in a confrontation with an angry stranger, has now fled a New York City restaurant after spotting a rat. So far, Sanders' attempts to explore local food spots have produced more unexpected encounters than actual restaurant reviews. COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.

"I love New York. I've had a great time out here, but every place I go into, it's rats, bro," he said. "I can't do this. I promise you, I've seen three rats out here since I've been here. I can't live like that, bro." View this post on Instagram The situation apparently reached its breaking point when Sanders spotted one inside a restaurant and immediately headed outside.

This New York Museum Has A Christmas Tree With Over 2,000 Handmade Glass Ornaments And Lets You Make Your Own

More than 2,000 glass ornaments hang on one 14-foot holiday tree here. Every single one was handmade by the museum’s own glassmakers. The tradition started in 2008 with an 8-foot tree and about 600 ornaments. One year later, it had already grown to its current size. I appreciate a holiday tradition that skipped the slow build and went straight to dazzling.

In 1929, the Loew’s Jersey Theatre opened to host legends like Frank Sinatra; nearly a century later, the historic landmark reopens as a 4,000-seat concert venue just 10 minutes from Wall Street

New Yorkers, the wait is officially over. The historic Loew’s Jersey Theatre is finally ready for its next act. Following a $130 million restoration , the nearly century-old landmark celebrated its ceremonial ribbon-cutting this week. It will officially open its doors to the public this weekend, capping off a four-decade preservation saga that saved the building from demolition. Originally opened in 1929, the venue was one of the nation’s five original ‘Wonder Theatres’. It is the only one located outside of NYC. After hosting legends like Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra , the theater fell into disrepair in the 1980s. Now, the historic Journal Square landmark is gleaming once again. A historic restoration The revitalized space pairs the opulent detail of its original movie-palace architecture with top-tier modern production capabilities. Some of the restoration work took place 70 feet above the audience , with crews operating from extensive scaffolding to preserve the theater’s intricate details. The venue can now accommodate between 2,600 and 4,000 guests , making it the biggest indoor venue (non-arena) in New Jersey and a major new player in the NYC metro concert landscape. Restoration efforts will even continue into next year. The team plans to reinstall
