Downtown San Antonio date night idea
If you're craving a no-fuss, elevated night out, head to Hotel Havana for a seamless dinner-and-drinks experience. State of play: The boutique hotel houses Ocho, a pan-Latin restaurant helmed by chef Jesse Kuykendall, and the sultry Havana Bar in the basement. The vibe: Ocho feels like dining in a dreamy glass greenhouse overlooking the River Walk with chandeliers, tufted couches — and yes, air conditioning. A few steps away, Havana Bar sets the mood with dim lighting and cozy corners for cocktails and conversation. What to try: At Ocho, start with the ceviche del día ($18) for a burst of brightness. For a main entree, try the Calle Ocho ($42). It's a standout dish — a juicy ribeye with spicy chimichurri, sweet tomato confit, crispy manchego yuca and a cool cilantro crema. Bonus: The rotating zodiac-themed cocktail list is a fun surprise.

'Lilo & Stitch' actor David Hekili Kenui Bell dies at 46: 'A beautiful spirit'
'Lilo & Stitch' actor David Hekili Kenui Bell dies at 46: 'A beautiful spirit' Show Caption Hide Caption 'Lilo & Stitch' trailer: Disney's furry alien goes live action Newcomer Maia Kealoha stars as a Hawaiian girl who makes friends with a furry ball of alien mayhem in Disney's live-action "Lilo & Stitch." Actor David Hekili Kenui Bell, who recently made his silver screen debut in Disney's live-action "Lilo & Stitch," has died. He was 46. Bell died on June 12, his family confirmed in a press release shared by his agent Lashuana Downie on June 17. A cause of death was not disclosed, although the release notes Bell's death was a "peaceful passing." The actor, who previously made appearances on the shows "Hawaii Five-0" and "Magnum P.I.," played the character "Big Hawaiian Dude" in the adaptation of the 2002 animated film about a young Hawaiian girl who befriends an alien fugitive. The movie premiered on May 23 and has grossed $858.6 million worldwide to date. 'Lilo & Stitch' reimagined: The biggest changes from Disney's original movie "David was celebrated for his talent and presence in front of the camera and admired for the aloha he brought into every space he entered," Bell's family said in a statement. "Our 'ohana' is deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and respectfully asks for continued aloha and privacy during this time of remembrance and healing." Downie, who praised Bell as an "extraordinary talent," added in a separate statement: "David brought light, kindness, and a beautiful spirit to all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In his review of the film, USA TODAY's movie critic Brian Truitt described "Lilo & Stitch" as an "excessively earnest Disney Channel movie compared with the delightfully unhinged 2002 cartoon." 'Lilo & Stitch' review: Disney adaptation falls short of first film's unhinged brilliance "The updated 'Lilo' pulls back on the sci-fi action to focus instead on the emotional story of two orphaned human siblings," Truitt wrote. "That old 'Ohana means family' riff still hits right in the feels, though what this latest outing lacks most is the first film's electric charm. ... This 'Stitch' settles on being a fine retread instead of a rabble-rousing romp." Contributing: Brian Truitt, USA TODAY
