Dancing the night away in G.N. Plaza BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N

reat Neck Plaza is inviting both residents and people from nearby communities to dance in the street and stroll around town on Wednesday, July 25, for its annual Ballroom Dancing Promenade Night. The event, slated to take place on Middle Neck Road between Grace Avenue and Maple Drive starting at 6:30 p.m., will feature both a performance and instruction from Artur and Alina Shvetsova, who have won accolades in tournaments both in the United States and internationally. The sibling duo has trained in many competitions in Ukraine and the United States. Artur was named the Latin Champion of the Ukrainian National Competitions and Championships and a finalist in many U.S. competitions, while Alina has been a finalist in numerous Ukrainian competitions and won first place in the Rising Star Latin Championships of Portugal Open Competition. The Shvetsovas’ performances will feature a mix of bachata, salsa, rumba and tango between 7 and 9 p.m., with instruction also taking place at 7:50 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Saaho Village, Burger Village, Chez Kama and other restaurants will also be participating in the event with fixed price meals and a full menu. Additionally, Haagen Dazs will be offering dessert. Ron Edelson, the executive director of the Great Neck Plaza Business Improvement District, said this night of dance is back because of popular demand. “After last year’s incredible reaction from the Great Neck community to our ballroom dancing promenade night, we had to bring this fun-filled night of dancing back to the community,” Edelson said. This year’s ballroom dancing promenade is the second of four promenades planned for this summer, with a movie night featuring “Beauty and the Beast” on Bond Street having kicked off the series on July 11. The next promenade will be a “Get Your Singer on!”, a karaoke night taking place on Bond Street on Wednesday, Aug. 1, with a rain date of Aug. 2. A movie night on Middle Neck Road will round out the promenade series on Wednesday, Aug. 15. Each promenade night begins at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m. “The promenade series has proven to be a way for friends and family to meet up for a night of fun for all ages on a beautiful summer night,” Edelson said. “This is a perfect opportunity to jump-start the summer events we have planned for the community.”

L.I. premiere of Radner documentary Comedienne Gilda Radner may be best known for her work on “Saturday Night Live,” including such memorable and zany characters as Roseanne Roseannadanna and Emily Litella, but a documentary about her life reveals what The Wrap termed, a “tender and lovely portrait of a beloved icon.” The Long Island premiere of “Love, Gilda: The Eternal Spirit of Gilda Radner,” presented by the Gold Coast International Film Festival, screens on Wednesday, Sept. 12, at 7:30 p.m. at the Soundview Cinemas in Port Washington (7 Soundview Market Place). A Q&A with director/producer Lisa

D’Apolito, executive producer Carolyn Hepburn, and producer Bronwyn Berry takes place immediately after the screening. In the documentary, which was the opening-night film for the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival, Gilda Radner looks back and reflects on her life and career. Weaving together recently discovered audiotapes, interviews with her friends, rare home movies and diaries read by modern-day comics inspired by Gilda (Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader and Cecily Strong), “Love, Gilda” offers a unique window into the honest and whimsical world of a beloved

performer whose greatest role was sharing her story. Variety describes “Love, Gilda” as an “exuberant and moving documentary portrait,” and a Screen International reviewer reports calls it: “A comprehensive remembrance of Radner’s public legacy is underpinned by an engrossing insight into her private struggles, making for an informative and poignant showbusiness story.” And, as Roseanne Roseannadanna would say, “It just goes to show you, it’s always something — if it ain’t one thing, it’s another.” “Whether you are or are not familiar with Gilda Radner, you’re in for a

treat,” says Caroline Sorokoﬀ, director of the Gold Coast International Film Festival. “And you will learn a lot about this remarkable woman, while laughing uproariously.” To purchase tickets, please visit http://goldcoastfilmfestival.org/lovegilda/. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for students. This screening is part of the Gold Coast International Film Festival’s yearround ﬁlm series, which brings the best in independent cinema to Long Island beyond the 10-day festival slated for November 3-13 this year.

THE CULINARY ARCHITECT

An elegant summer grill buffet Now is the time to set up the barbeque and outdoor furniture and enjoy the ease entertaining with a summer grill buffet, a great way to return all of those winter invitations. The menu below may be mixed with family favorites. If the number of selections seems too daunting, choose to make a few of the items and add in some ready-made foods to ease the cooking burden. Start with Chips and Salsa, all available from the supermarket and a big bowl of marinated grilled shrimp. Add elegance to your party with a seated first course of Tre Colore Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing. If you prefer a more casual party, add the salad to the buffet by placing it in a large bowl with the dressing on the side. All of the accompaniments may be made ahead and refrigerated. Designate a “grill master” to cook the chicken breasts, turkey burgers and French bread close to serving time. If you don’t own grills, tables, chairs, table settings – they are readily available from rental companies and caterers and come in a variety of styles – everything to make your party special. Once you get started, it is often a lot easier and less tiring to entertain 24 people at once than having four parties with six guests. Another way to ease “entertaining stress” is to divide the guest list in half and have the parties one night apart. Floral arrangements, rentals,

etc. get double duty and you only have to grocery shop once! Be sure to enlist the help of others, entertaining 24 people is no easy task, no matter how much you plan ahead. Above all…enjoy the time spent with your guests!
