March 26, 2014: "Mother's Restaurant" in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's a Marine Corps thing.


"Mother's Restaurant" in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's a Marine Corps thing. Semper Fi. We loved it. Convenient to downtown. We walked everywhere. The food was great. The service was good and the place had real character. I felt like we part of history. 26Mar2014





  

 

Mother’s restaurant New Orleans Louisiana
401 Poydras St
New Orleans, Louisiana
(504) 523-9656
Authentic N'Awlins home-style cooking since 1938. The Amato family welcomes you for a taste of tradition.


 

  

Mother’s Restaurant opened its doors in 1938 on Poydras Street’s “Restaurant Row”, situated between a thriving waterfront and the courthouse. Owners Simon and Mary (Mother) Landry and his large family cooked up po’ boys for lines of longshoremen and laborers, newspapermen and attorneys.


During and after World War II, Mother’s became a local hang-out for “the few and the proud” – the U.S. Marine Corps. The Marine spirit was in the family – five of the seven Landry children (five sons and two daughters) joined the Marine Corps. Francis Landry was the first woman in Louisiana to be accepted into the Corps. This special association with the Marines earned Mother’s the title of “TUN Tavern New Orleans” in the late ’60s. The original TUN tavern was the official birthplace of the Marines during the Revolutionary War.


Mother’s is not just a part of this great American tradition, but also stands as a uniquely New Orleans institution. The likes of other family-owned local businesses such as D.H. Holmes Department Stores, K&B Drug Stores, MacKenzie’s Bakery, and Werlein’s Music have all departed from the landscape, while Mother’s Restaurant has not only remained almost exactly the same, but has flourished.


In 1986, the Jerry and John Amato bought Mother’s from the Landry’s sons Jacques and Eddie. With the changing of the guard, many things were added but nothing, fortunately, lost. Jerry Amato, chef and proprietor, doubled the already dizzying size of the menu. Now traditional New Orleans dishes like jambalaya and Shrimp Creole line-up next to the po’ boys that Mother’s made famous, such as the Ferdi Special and the debris po-boy (for a history of these and other sandwiches on the Fun Facts page). Breakfast, lunch and dinner items are cooked with fresh ingredients and bold, delicious flavor.


You will still see longshoremen in boots and you’ll find plenty of locals rubbing elbows in line with visitors, veterans, politicians and movie stars. Mother’s remains true to its working class origins. Nobody gets treated better (or worse) than anybody else. As Jerry Amato says, “Everybody gets fed. Everybody comes back.”


So go ahead, join ranks with the not-so-few, but intensely proud – the Mother’s crowd.

Hopefully the first of several stories about the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce trip to Cuba in November


Hopefully the first of several stories about the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce trip to Cuba in November - by Kevin E. Dayhoff

Havanatur Tour and Travel





El balneario de Varadero, el principal polo turístico de sol y playa de Cuba, aspira a superar este año el récord de 1,5 millones de visitantes extranjeros después de haber pasado el umbral del millón de turistas internacionales al cierre de septiembre, según datos oficiales.

Desde 2008, Varadero recibe de forma más o menos constante alrededor de un millón de visitantes extranjeros en el conjunto del año, la marca podría ser superada este año tres meses antes de lo previsto.

En plena temporada alta, que en Varadero coincide con los meses de julio y agosto, los hoteles estaban al 82% de su capacidad, por lo que “en el corto plazo, el polo está listo para recibir aún más visitantes”. La llegada generalizada de turistas de Estados Unidos debería provocar la desaparición de las temporadas turísticas en Varadero

En medio del boom turístico que vive Cuba, que en 2014 superó por primera vez los 3 millones de visitantes extranjeros, Varadero se está preparando para mejorar la calidad de sus instalaciones hoteleras e incrementar la cuota de aproximadamente un tercio de los turistas que aterrizan en la isla.

Para 2016, existen planes de ampliar la plaza hotelera del polo turístico en 3.000 habitaciones, que se distribuirán en cuatro nuevos hoteles de 4 y 5 estrellas ya proyectados, uno de ellos ya en construcción, indicó Fernández.

En la actualidad, Varadero cuenta con más de 20.224 habitaciones hoteleras, de las que unas 17.500 corresponden a hoteles de cuatro y cinco estrellas, en línea con el objetivo de “elevar el confort de la planta habitacional de Varadero”.

Para atraer un perfil de turista más variado, Varadero también planea diversificar su oferta turística más allá del sol y playa y aprovechar su cercanía a La Habana, a unos 150 kilómetros; a las ciudades del centro de la isla de Trinidad y Cienfuegos, o al parque natural y reserva de la biosfera de la Ciénaga de Zapata.

“La Ciénaga de Zapata es el refugio más importante de aves migratorias del Caribe, con más de 650 especies, además de contar con una plataforma submarina adyacente con corales de todas las variedades”.

Varadero también se está preparando para el turismo náutico con la construcción de una marina que cuenta con 1.200 amarres y la previsión de construir otra en la que habrá 200 amarres.

El turismo es la segunda fuente de ingresos de la isla, con 2.700 millones de dólares facturados en 2014, a los que Varadero contribuyó aproximadamente en un 38%.

Rick Steves: Greece in Economic Crisis and Your Travel Dreams


Rick Steves checking out the impact of the economic crisis in Greece


June 11, 2012 http://blog.ricksteves.com/?p=7675 Retrieved December 2, 2012

With all the news about Greece’s economic problems, people are wondering whether it’s a good time to go there or not. I’ve surveyed my Tour Department and our Greek guides who live and work in Greece, and here’s my report…


My guides report that our Greece tours so far this spring have been as smooth and fun as ever — virtually unaffected by the local political and economic events


The big concern among the hotels and restaurants we use in Greece is whether they’ll be able to survive the downturn in tourism as many postpone their travels there, fearing “instability.” And many sights are running on their shorter winter schedules for lack of money to staff the longer summer hours.


… First and foremost, Greece is a safe place to visit. In fact, it’s a good time to visit because you will be made especially welcome. Tourism is Greece’s heavy industry and its leading employer.
It seems to me that US media coverage of Greece has been nothing less than hysterical — just plain silly at times, and woefully lacking in analysis. Greeks are emotional people, and they are given to outbursts of anger — as well as outbursts of joy. Their bad governments in recent times have given them plenty of reasons to be angry. The scenes in Syntagma, the big square immediately in front of the Greek parliament building, are a symptom of this — and act as a release valve. These scenes occur only when the parliament is voting on the hated austerity measures. When you see riots on TV, they are generally the work of a group of anarchists who are limited to Syntagma and know how to get on the news.

The big debate politically is austerity (from the right) versus no austerity (from the left). Until this all sorts itself out, I would recommend that travelers do not wear “Angela Merkel” masks. Regardless of how the debate turns out, and who emerges as the new government, Greeks of all political stripes will take care of tourism, so vital to its struggling economy. The Greeks, a welcoming people at any time, will be doubly appreciative of any visitors in these difficult circumstances.

The main impact on travelers as Greece struggles through this period will be: shorter hours of sights; intermittent strikes; and friends and loved ones back home wondering if Americans traveling in Greece are okay… http://blog.ricksteves.com/?p=7675
