2010-03-09 Michael Bauer: Between Meals : San Francisco on the plate

I justify my choice by explaining that food and dining is central to our culture here, unlike in other cities. I can think of only two destinations in the United States where people come just for the food: San Francisco and New Orleans. Sure, lots of people go to New York, and the restaurants are fantastic, but in many cases people are there on business, to go to the theater and for many other reasons beyond dining.

2010-02-26 Courthouse News Service

NEW ORLEANS (LA) - A former New Orleans Police Department lieutenant admitted that after New Orleans police officers shot six unarmed people walking across a bridge looking for food after Hurricane Katrina, he realized the shooting had been unjustified and started a cover-up.

The final version of the report submitted by the investigator contains a false interview in which one of the people on the bridge during the shootings admits that her nephew and some of his friends on the bridge had fired guns before the officers returned the fire. And Lohman and the investigator decided together to add a false witness statement from the first group of people shot at: that they knew the two men on the other end of the bridge and were on their way to all go together to "loot" the supermarket when the incident occurred, according to the factual basis.

At the same time Nicolas Cage was pushing for New Orleans for other reasons. Again, he loves the fluidity, the music, and New Orleans is a very, very important place for him. He said to me once, and I think hes said it in public as well, he said, "New Orleans was the place I was born, I was born a second time, I was born again," after struggling with his demons. So I think New Orleans has great, great significance for Nicolas Cage for different reasons. All of a sudden we were all pushing for New Orleans.

I appreciate the citys place of honor in cocktail circles -- if it didnt invent the cocktail, New Orleans surely perfected it. But Im also glad that its getting easier to find creativity among the citys bartenders. Sure, the Sazerac and other classics (not to mention frozen day-glo drinks served in to-go cups) still hold sway in many places, but you can also sip on some inventive, carefully crafted concoctions that do justice to New Orleanss position as host of the prestigious annual

I like to develop fragrances for people who like strong flavors, and New Orleans loves strong flavors, strong food, strong music, " Rahme said. "I developed something that I think is a very powerful fragrance, a little bit over the top, just like New Orleans. "

A native of Paris, Rahme moved to Manhattan in the 1970s while working for Lancome, and fell in love with the Big Apple. After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, she couldnt stand the acrid smell that lingered in the streets of New York, and she felt passionate about the citys rebirth. "I needed something to make New York smell good again, " she said last year when she visited Saks New Orleans.
