Maybe you've heard that the political elite and hobnobbing regulars of the Loews Regency Hotel will need a new spot to congregate in the mornings. Loews chairman Jonathan M. Tisch told the Times he was working on securing a temporary pop-up power breakfast at an unnamed spot to holdover the likes of Al Sharpton, Barbara Boxer, and Shimon Peres. Well Michael White knows an opportunity when he sees one and a rep for his company tells Crain's that Ai Fiori would be the perfect place for the city's movers and shakers to pay $20 for an omelette. Plus, White's got plenty of fresh juice. [Crain's NY, Earlier]

Red Beans and Rice, Roast Beef Po Boys, and Olivier's
- e
- EdgeCityDweller Jul 31, 2009 11:37 AM
I'm going to be visiting New Orleans next week and have most of my food itinerary planned except for a few things.
First, where is a good place for red beans and rice? Second, where is a good place for roast beef po boys? If there's anything close to the convention center that would be great.
Third, how is Olivier's? The main reason why I'm considering going there is for the gumbo sampler. Is it worth it?
Thanks in advance.
roast beef poboys - Johnny's on St. Louis is the best in the Quarter. But it's only open daytime.
Red beans & Rice. pretty much any lunch place in the CBD will have it on Mondays. I can't direct you to one place that's particularly good. I get them at P&G on Baronne. But I wouldn't say it's especially good. In fact, i'm not sure there is a place that's known for great red beans. Don't get me wrong. I love a plate of red beans & rice. But it's pretty basic. Everyone kind of does them the same.
Olivier's is a very good place. I'd say it's worth it. It's underrated, in my opinion.
We (at work) used to get beans from Bayou Eatery on Lafayette located in the 400 Poydras building. They give you a nice serving with two large links of sausage. The sandwiches are expensive and nothing special. They they opened a Subway, yes Subway, nextdoor and they have creamy beans and good fried chicken. I was told they use Popeye's "recipe" or probably more correct to say supplier. I don't know if it's true but they are good if you like creamy. Personally I like both. For roast beef poboys I go to Nola Grocery on Andrew Higgins a few blocks from the Convention Center. They only have one table but we always manage to get a seat. There's no a/c so you may want to get it to go. Get lots of napkins. While you're at it get some Boudin too. If it's busy you place your order, give your name and take a seat. You can pay when you leave. Never been to Olivier's.
I recommend Lil' Dizzy's (the Esplanade location) for RB&R, but I agree with the original poster that you can get good red beans most places in the city. Mandina's on Canal does them well, too, as does Praline Connection.
For Roast Beef, if you want to stay downtown, I'd say Mother's is probably the best. If you have a car, Parkway, Parasol's, Mandina's, Guy's, and Ye Olde College Inn all do a great roast beef poboy.
re: HalfShell
I think Mandina's only serves red beans on Monday. If you will be in town Th, Fri or Sat., K_Paul's has a casual self serve lunch with outstanding gumbo. White beans are often on the menu as well. Mr. B's gumbo ya-ya is always good. Johnny's for RB po boy.
The last time I was in New Orleans, I ate red beans and rice at several well known restaurants. Without question the Gumbo shop had the very best red beans and rice!
Parkway is far and above my favorite roast beef: http://blackenedout.blogspot.com/2009...
For red beans and rice, I like Dunbar's, Acme, and Mandina's (who only serves them on Monday). I also have been known to enjoy a family size order of Popeye's red beans as a snack.
It's been 2 years since I have been to Olivier's, but I thought it was good back then. I remember the BBQ-like dipping sauce for their fried oysters as one of the highlights.
Mandina's Restaurant
3800 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70119
Parkway Bakery & Tavern
538 Hagan Ave, New Orleans, LA 70119
Acme Oyster House
724 Iberville St, New Orleans, LA 70130
Dunbar's Creole Cooking
501 Pine St, New Orleans, LA
In general, red beans and rice is good, but absolute favorite N'Awlins beans are white beans and rice with pig tails, and a quart of Falstaff to go with it. Guess I'm dating myself with the beer choice....
For good red beans try Two Sisters, Cafe Reconcile, and, yes, Popeye's.

Anyone needing to register for the May 13th Nebraska primary must do so at county election offices by 6 p.m. Friday.
Several races for Douglas County elected officials which appeared on primary election ballots in previous years will not appear this year as a result of Legislative Bill 56, signed into law earlier this year. It allows county races to automatically advance to the general election when there are no candidates or only one candidate to be nominated for a partisan county office.
"Similar laws have been in place for years regarding some nonpartisan offices such as school boards, natural resource districts and other races," said Douglas County Election Commissioner Dave Phipps. "LB 56 was passed as another way to save money."
The only two county offices that will appear on the ballots are the Democratic Douglas County Assessor/Register of Deeds race and the contest for Democratic Douglas County Commissioner District Two. There are no county races listed for Republicans or Libertarians for the primary.
"This will not actually affect anyone's vote," said Phipps. "There would have only been one candidate or a write-in line to vote for if these races appeared on the ballot. The only difference is, now voters won't have to mark an oval where there is no choice."
Voters can view a countywide sample ballot on the Election Commission's website at votedouglascounty.com. You may also view your own specific sample ballot by entering your house number and zip code in the "Find Your Polling Place" area on any page of the site.
Early voting for the June 3rd Iowa primary is already underway. Voters may fill out an absentee ballot at county auditor's offices or at satellite locations designated by the county auditor through June 2nd.
You can request an absentee ballot by mail or register to vote at sos.iowa.gov/ and return it to the local county auditor's office.
Absentee ballots received by the county auditor before 9 p.m. June 3rd are eligible to be counted. Absentee ballots that are returned by mail and received after the polls close must have a postmark of Monday, June 2nd or earlier to be counted.

Cleveland City Councilman Richard Banks said he'll likely not seek to overturn the mayoral veto of a resolution he introduced Monday that sought to delay a hearing on the city/Bradley County dispute over $689,930 in increased sales tax revenue.
Mayor Tom Rowland vetoed the resolution, passed 3-2 by the city council, under the rules of the city's charter, Banks said. The hearing was set for next Thursday.
City voters who approved a half-cent sales tax increase two years ago were told the money would go for capital projects. But Bradley County officials, based on a 1967 agreement on the division of sales tax collections, sued to collect part of that fund.
The city contends that money belongs solely to Cleveland.

European Union Events
The EU After the Lisbon Treaty
December 20, 2010 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
Global Europe Program
Following the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty last year, the European Union (EU) has initiated a series of decision-making and institutional reforms, including the creation of the External Action Service (EAS). Angelos Pangratis, Deputy Head of the European Commission Delegation in Washington, offered an informal progress report on how the EAS will be structured and the key areas of cooperation between the EU and the United States. He argued that the success of the EAS will be judged by its ability to produce concrete results in coordinating and implementing a comprehensive common foreign and security policy for the EU's 27 members.
From Lisbon to Lisbon: Afghanistan and Russia as Test Cases for the new EU Foreign Policy
June 24, 2010 // 3:30pm — 4:30pm
Global Europe Program
Two new positions introduced by the Lisbon Treaty will significantly affect EU's ability to conduct foreign policy: the permanent Presidency of the European Union and the appointment of a High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Anne-Marie Le Gloannec argued that the EU's ability to formulate and execute a common foreign policy foreign remains questionable because the Lisbon Treaty "does not simplify representation; does not conjure up coherence; and does not muster will." Given these problems, she argued that Europeans should continue to develop institutions and cooperative representation outside the scope of EU institutions.
Serbia and the EU: Assessing the Economic Prospects
April 21, 2010 // 12:00pm — 1:00pm
Global Europe Program
As elsewhere in the Western Balkans, Serbia made significant strides in the period 203-8 toward becoming the "functioning market economy" specified by the Copenhagen Criteria as a major credential for membership in the European Union.
Serbia's Foreign Policy: Substance and Rhetoric
February 24, 2010 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
Global Europe Program
Two years after Kosovo independence, the majority of Serbs still reel with the loss of their ancestral province and continue to resent the role the United States played in the break-up of their country. At the same time, most continue to support becoming part of "the West" and joining the European Union, and are almost equally eager to strengthen their country's political, cultural, and even military ties to the United States.
Achieving the Grand Vision: Southeast Europe in the EU
February 02, 2010 // 1:00pm — 2:00pm
Global Europe Program
Crown Prince Alexander II voiced his strong support for Serbia's application for EU membership, which its leaders submitted to Brussels in December 2009. He asserted that "Serbia will gain political and economic benefit from EU membership," arguing that the reforms necessary to meet accession obligations will help to strengthen government institutions.
Director's Forum: The Enlargement of the European Union
September 22, 2009 // 10:00am — 11:00am
Global Europe Program
EU enlargement has been celebrated as the European Union's most successful foreign policy. The peaceful transformation in postcommunist Europe is a tribute not only to the peoples and leaders of those 10 countries, but also to the umbrella provided by the European Union. Dr. Michael Leigh, who has served as director-general for enlargement since 2006, highlighted the successes of the enlargement process to date as well as the main challenges to come.
Offsite Event: Film Screening and Discussion: Where Does Europe End?
June 11, 2009 // 3:30pm — 5:30pm
Global Europe Program
Where Europe Ends, a 50-minute documentary directed by Alina Mungiu-Pippidi and her team, shows the condition of Europeans living beyond the Eastern border of the European Union since Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007.
Symposium: Evaluating the Effects of EU Accession: Lessons for Southeast Europe
June 09, 2009 // 1:00pm — 5:00pm
Global Europe Program
The countries of Central and East Europe have been profoundly affected by the EU accession process. Indeed, no single state or international institution has had as great an impact on domestic change as the EU has had in postcommunist Europe. Eight countries from the region have now been EU members for five years, and further enlargement to the Western Balkans is a shared goal of the United States and the EU. As this process continues, it is important to assess the impact EU accession and membership has made on these countries' politics, markets, societies, and international relations.
Social and Political Responses to Economic Crises: Reflections on the State of Democracy in EU Member States Bordering the CIS

Happy December! I am so excited to share some Christmas traditions and treats and gift ideas in the next few weeks. I am officially DONE posting client images sneak peeks, and now get to play! (Though I do have a few straggler sessions for friends/family here soon). I thought I'd kick it off with the Christmas lunch jokes. I had a facebook friend, Chantal, asking me when/if I was going to post these because she and her son love them so much–yay! Makes me happy to hear;) Extra special thanks to my friend Aimee at Sprik Space who designed the borders from her 12 days of Christmas pattern pieces. Head over there for the cute paper she has designed for you to use on whatever you'd like!
There are 2 pages–20 jokes here, so click on the links below the image for both sets!

Lots more lunch jokes, see Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, Spring/Easter, Halloween, and All Occasion Jokes and Brain Teasers.

Peter A. Schickler, 68, of Rutland, passed peacefully into Gods care on December 26, 2012, losing his long fight with COPD and most recently cancer of the spine and lungs.
He was born in North Bellmore, New York, to Bill and Helen Schickler on February 6, 1944. He married the one true love of his life, Nancy McManus, in 1991. They had three sons and three daughters from previous marriages.
Peter left behind three stepsons, his three daughters, six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, three sisters and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother, Bill Schickler; nephew Bill Schickler; brother-in-law Jack Buchanan; and both his parents.
Peter had two loves in his life his family and his work creating computer systems for Button Systems clients. His software touched so many companies locally and nationally companies such as Kalow Technologies, Sealed Air, Bank of America, Random House Publishing, Christus Health and so many more over the years. He loved to teach people how to better use their computer systems, and was quick to reach out a helping hand for anyone in need. He had been a longtime member of the Rutland Business Advisory Council, promoting vocational opportunities for disadvantaged individuals.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Rutland Area Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice, PO Box 787, Rutland, VT 05702-0787, who provided excellent hospice care to Peter and Nancy and their family.
