The coolest restaurant I've come across so far...

Located at 529 Hudson, the Bourbon St. Southern Gourmet Pantry is by far one of the coolest places I have found in city thus far. Dawning the unbelievable hot sauce colllection pictured above, a candy bar that will immediately take you back to after school specials and hot summer days at the ice cream truck or corner store when you were 7, Bourbon St. transplants you to New Orleans charm. Their menu, classically southern and sleep-inducing (I partook in the Salmon Croquette sandwhich myself with the cajun fries). I was told I would see God if I tried the Sweet Potatoe Cheesecake but I opted for the Red Velvet cupcake. And tasted the to die for Hummingbird Cake. Omg! Apparently Magnolia keeps trying to steal their recipe hehehe.



You'll probably be greeted by Alice, with her Mama spirit and big smile she's as cool as the hot pink walls. It's definitely worth the trouser unbuttoning.



Alice mentioned coming back for Halloween for fabulous queens parading 'round. I think ill definitely be needing some bisquits and cheese grits by then. ;p

I'm blunt...and rather observant...DUH that means I should blog! I suffer from, no let me rephrase, I combat living with an AVM on a daily basis. An AVM is an Abnormal Veinous Malformation which affects about 250,000 people in the US (http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/cerebro/AVM.htm#Link8). It affects everyone differently, for me it's caused a constant headache since 2003...litterally. I've been in countless doctors offices, been poked and proded, been through the emotions of being misdiagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I've been through a lot and not just because of my...let's call it an ailment. Above all I've developed a less than common outlook on life and perception of things.Don't for one minute misconstrue, I'm in no way a victim, I'm self-sufficient almost to a fault and encourage others to turn their weaknesses into empowerment. It builds character and makes for one hell of a screenplay ha! That combined with growing up immersed in a semi-charmed world, and the glitz and glamour of Hollyweird leads to some interesting anecdotes...Here are my thoughts...

There are many other Headcases in the world...here are a few..
