Here are a few pics from last Sunday’s brunch at the Majestic Grille:
And, of course, there’s the famous $3 mimosas and the $12 Majestic Mimosa (a bottle of bubbly + a pitcher of orange juice). We’ll be up there again this Sunday. Come early if you want a seat at the bar – the crowd continues to grow and we just about had all the bar seats filled up by noon.
Another place which we’re making a home is the Russwood Park Grill, the bar/restaurant on the ground floor of the Holiday Inn Select across from the Peabody. I never, ever thought I’d see the day when Downtowners would be hanging out at a hotel bar, but management is doing everything right. When Sleep Out’s closed they hired Frenchie, knowing he’d bring in all the regulars, and they’re making other improvements to the place to make us feel at home. They even counted the number of steps from Sleep Out’s front door to theirs (300).
Gotta get out of here… my mother isn’t feeling well so I’m going to run over to Little Rock to take care of her. Should be back tomorrow night. There’s Internet access there, so it’s possible that I’ll be blogging from the road. See you this weekend.
