Sylvia’s Hair and Hot Roller Girls and Restaurant news
Popped into Swirl for the Friday night tasting and Sylvia was pouring the wine – Sylvia with the good hair. And the Roller Derby girls were there selling tickets rolling around on their skates – most of them are very fly. Fatima was in the house, serving pasta from her about to open restaurant La Vita next door. Her husband Bob joined her later – and he was hysterical, talking about how he has become a road maniac since Katrina and so tomorrow was getting up early to drive to Foley for the farmer’s market. La Vita opens next week.
Ham and Teresa came in pumped up from having just been to their house closing on Hagan – their first. They’ll start painting this weekend. They said Cafe Minh had opened in the old Michael’s on Canal – Minh used to have LemonGrass on Carrolton next to Brocatas.
Little Tokyo is staged to open soon in the old Chateaubriand – the sign is up but on the building it has a big Coming Soon notice. Doson, the noodle house, next to Wit’s Inn is open as well and is getting good reviews.
All we need is for the market to be bought and a small grocery to open and our neighborhood will be back better than before.
