Every May since 1996, Ieola Bakr, her two sisters and their mother have enjoyed a weekend getaway at the Akwaaba Mansion. The four-room inn, in a quaint Italian villa-style home, offers a peaceful retreat where the women talk and relax--they walk in the gardens, soak in the Jacuzzi and savor a Southern breakfast with homemade grits and biscuits. But the Akwaaba isn't burrowed deep in the heart of Dixie or even in some bucolic New England town. The inn, dating to the 1860s, is smack in the middle of Brooklyn, N.Y., just 10 blocks from Bakr...

As a wise friend of mine once said, “Join the Spee, join the Phoenix, join the Porc, join the Delphic, join the Fox.1 Join what you can, and before you become an investment banker you’ll be a big-time on-campus booty-spanker...
...conch are featured sparingly, Nouvelle Lune’s offerings are dominated by hearty servings of pork, beef, fish and chicken. The preparation itself is kept simple and devoid of fuss, with no precise recipe for any dish. Meats are usually fried or boiled and then left to soak in the sauces, with the exact composition determined by the chef’s preferences and the availability of ingredients. It is this very resourcefulness that ensures a refreshingly rich and harmonious blend of flavors and spices...
