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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
