I’ve heard of Sammy’s Roumanian, but I finally got to experience it last week. Wowzas. Growing up in Savannah, GA, I didn’t get to go to many bar mitzvahs, but I made up for it last Thursday. I’m not exaggerating. It’s a bar mitzvah for grown ups. Let me set the scene: Walk in the…

I’m not one of those girls who hates Valentine’s Day, nor am I the kind of girl who swoons at the idea of the holiday. I am ambivalent. I may not really care about Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t mean I won’t use it as an excuse for a good meal. I arrived at Whole…

Last week I got to cross one of the biggies off my list by dining at ABC Kitchen. After reading all the reviews of one of 2010’s hottest openings, I had been dying to try. It is connected to ABC Carpet and Home, which means it is outfitted by one of the city’s to-die-for home…

My cousin Amy was in town for the weekend and although Matt and I got to hang out with her on Saturday night for a little drunken revelry, we wanted to make sure we got in some sober time. That led us to an MLK breakfast this morning during our day off work. I rarely…

Time for the big day! We only had time for lunch and a little relaxation before time to get ready and be downstairs for pictures so my Daddy chose another famed New Orleans restaurant, Acme Oyster House, for lunch. Sure, I’d had some oysters on top of my fish on Friday night, but I hadn’t…

I woke up on Saturday (day two in New Orleans) a little tired but still ready to go. I got dressed and met the group downstairs to head to the wedding jazz brunch. The brunch was held at The Court of Two Sisters, a beautiful spot. The all white and wrought iron restaurant had huge…
