[-]Had an argument with DH over this, would you take your family to Hooters? Does DH go to Hooters?

no, he doesn't go. he might if everyone from work went for lunch or something, but he would never suggest it or want to go there of his own volition! and no, definitely wouldn't take my family there. in high school i know a couple of girls who worked there. they kind of had a hard time telling people what they did (similar to being a stripper), and there were always tons of sleazy guys. definitely not something i would want my family to be around!
[ Reply | Options ]My dad got restaurant vouchers from work for whatever reason, and took my mom out to dinner, to a place they had never been. It turned out to be a Hooters-knock-off type bar, where the servers were girls in really tiny outfits and horrible high heels! My poor conservative mom felt so bad for them, having to work all night in those shoes and with all the drunk guys acting like fools. But she left a BIG tip!
[ Reply | Options ]Wasn't this exact question just posted yesterday and discussed in detail? Am i imaginging things?

No but only because the menu isn't good. No problem with waitresses in short shorts...even with the family. If we were on vacation in florida and it was around and nothing else was, I would be fine going in and getting the kids chicken nuggets. Not sleazy if that is your concern.

[-]Going to New Orleans with 16yo dd and looking for great but not tourist trap places to eat. high-scale, local dives, and in between. will be there 4 days and are staying in the French Quarter with no car, but can travel by taxi or bus. Example: we love Mary's Fish Camp, which gets its fair share of tourist, but is still really great. tia!!!

[ Reply | Options ]Dooky Chase Restaurant; The Grill Room at Windsor Court (if you want to do true high end dining); Camellia Grill (it's a lunch counter) and Antoine's. There are a lot of places in New Orleans which are heavy with tourists but still very good... Acme Oyster House, Galatoire's, the jazz brunch at Court of Two Sisters are a few. I would stay away from the Brennan restaurants, Emeril's restaurants, and theme restaurants.
[ Reply | Options ]Johnny's Poboy. Their biscuits in the am or their Poboy in the afternoon. Chicken Fried Steak with white gravey is awesome. Best meal I had in NOLA was the chicken tchapatoulis at K-Paul's. You can do lunch there. Bayonna also has a great lunch. You should get the garlic soup and have to get the duck PBJ. (Trust me!) Dress up one day and go to Commander's Palace for lunch. Martini's are a quarter per. Try the bread pudding. Also, John Besh's place, Luke. The Choucroute Garnier with the duck confit -- AWESOME. Chow hound has some good threads on this. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/658142 Oh, and the place on Pirates Alley closer to the church has the best bloody Mary in the world but they don't open till 11am I think.
[ Reply | Options ]mothers, and i love nola which is one of emerils, but so good and not too touristy.

We went there in June. Bon Ton Retaurant, Domilise's Po Boys, Liuzza's by the track, Swan Oyster Bar, Central Grocery (muffalettas), Napoleon house for drinks and atmosphere. If you can get access to a car for an evening the BEST place we went was Mosca's, an amazing roadhouse about half an hour outside of town.

[-]Has anyone ever used a life coach or a career counselor or coach? I have a good friend who is trying to go back to work after five years of being a SAHM. Also, if you live in Austin, is there a coach you would recommend in that area?

[-]Moving from NYC to Austin. Very nervous about the change. Please recommend neighborhoods (no burbs- looking for places where things are going on- maybe able to walk to things?). Also have 2 small kids- what and where are the good preschools? Is Downtown Austin family friendly?? Please help!!
2 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]Don't stress out. You are going to LOVE Austin. Lived there before DB so I might not have the best info - no idea about public schools, sorry about that. Lived Downtown - more apartments than houses so not many children there. My choices if I were to move back would be Hyde Park (north of UT, older houses, many trees, beautiful), South Congress (very nice older houses, pricey these days but close to the action) or Tarrytown (West of MoPac, also nice, old money neighborhood). All of these are very family friendly and the prices would not scare someone coming from NYC. None of them are burbs, all very close to downtown. I'm so jealous of you right now... GL!
[ Reply | Options ]Just moved to Austin for DH's job - while also expecting in 1 month too. Seems nice enough but very, very slow. Don't know anything about pre-schools as just getting my first in a few weeks, but was recomended to go to Westlake Hills, but West Austin and Bryker Woods seem more "walkable" than other places. If you know of any NYC transplant groups, wld. love to know. Looking for some east coast edge.
