Manhattan bakery
very good coffee will help carry a lot of your business. i've worked in a few places, and even the ones with fairly odd or unfamiliar offerings got people in the door with coffee, then made steady customers out of them with the quality of the products.
what seems to sell the most - and this is partially conjecture - in the bakeries i've worked in isn't heavy pomp and circumstance. something simple - or even something that looks simple - will draw people in. especially if it's far more decadent than it seems. don't worry about piling on gold leaf or organic marzipan - make it look simple and delicious.
as for the next dessert trends - all i know is that they'll be free of trans fats. unfortunately.
but what do i know.
(and hey, if you want to hire a barista with lots of experience at premium rates, i'm your man)

as i understand it, they're aware that there are two possible choices, and prepare for both.
Question of the Day: What's Your Hangover Cure?
i tried just about everything while i worked in a breakfast restaurant for a few years.
my best solution? half-sprite half-orange juice mixes, and lots and lots of biscuits. it got me through a shift every time.
Kansas City, Here I Come. Where to Eat?

Kansas City, Here I Come. Where to Eat?
yeah - the smokie joe sandwich from oklahoma joe's and those fries, with a strawberry soda, in the gas station... oh man.
the peanut blt is the stuff dreams are made of.
Kansas City, Here I Come. Where to Eat?
it's been a long time since i've been in kc. but let's see.
if you want class, i hear nothing but the best about room 39 - obviously, it's not new york, but the prices are fair and the food is supposedly stellar.
i don't know how you can leave winstead's on your been-there list. anyone who doesn't like the burger they grew up with is a sissy.
i sometimes wake up craving a blt and wings from the peanut. downtown location.
rudy's taqueria. or any number of places on southwest boulevard.
and at 3 am, regretfully, town topic.
i think that's, almost verbatim, my plan for christmas.

Where to eat in New Orleans?
Bayona, Palace Café, Lillet, Herb Saint, Clancy's, Gauthraux, The Upperline, Commander's Palace, for a classic, Arnaud's (all of these were awesome, don't know if they are open or closed). Emerils and Delmonicos are good, Nola is not as good though. I used to love an italian place (not NOLA eats by any means though) called Bravo, has a special place in my heart from when I lived there, but it has more of a chain vibe.

Coops place is a must. It is a little hole in the wall local hangout with the best sausage with red beans and rice and seafood gumbo. If your craving a fried oyster po boy go to Acme oyster house. For fried chicken head over to fiorellas. Lastly, for a more fancy dinner, Nola is one of my favs. And you cant go do Nawlins with going to Cafe du Monde for some beignets.

Thanks, y'all, for your suggestions! Now I have a list and I can't wait to get down there. Will post a review when I get back if that is permitted. Weeeee!! serious eatin'!!

I am thrilled Frankie and Johnny's is open. Is is crowded like it used to be? They also do a fantastic stuffed artichoke, but the battered fried bell pepper rings are my favorite NOLA food.

Opps, Willie Mae' s just had a grand opening of sorts yesterday. I guess that means it is open.

Stanley's closed when Stella reopened so that they could make renevations, but apparently now there is talk that it isn't going to open in the same spot but somewhere else. yes, there has been a lot of talk about Willie mae's reopening...but still think they have a lot more too do before they can reopen. For other great oysters, Cassemento's is great!!

I think that Willie Mae's is about to reopen. Too bad about Stanley's. Great fried oysters.

Both Stanley's and Willie May's are Closed. Both are promising to open soon, but don't think they will by time you visit. Boudin is very hard to find in New Olreans as it is a cajun thing. Cochon does have boudin however and is very good. For crawfish, you need to go to a little hole in the wall place called Frankie and Jonny's (they also have wondeful pepper rings). If you cannot get uptown, there is a place in the quarter called Yo Mama's which is a little bar that has great boiled crawfish. You have to get a Muffaletta at Central Grocery on Decteur. Coop's in the Quater is also very good for New Orleans type food and the price is also very good. A roast beef po-boy at Parasol's in the Irish channel is also a must. For a higher end place, Brigsten's is the place to go. It is uptown, but worth it. Jacque-Imo's is a fun, funky place with New Olreans food. I always make sure I take anyone that comes into town here. They have a great alligator and shirmp savory cheesecake. Hope this helped some. But really there isn't a single bad meal in New Orleans.

K Pauls is old school but still as good as it gets. Skip the blackend stuff and try the rabbit in mustard sauce appetizer - fantastic.

It's kind of cliche and touristy, but still, I went in January and I was addicted to the Acme Oyster Bar. Especially their po'boys and hush puppies. And $3 Abitas for lunch.
Just try not to sit at the oyster bar unless you REALLY like them, because you will be sharing some serious face time with the fish.
