But this small coffee house in downtown New Orleans made an outsized impact this week when its owners decided to give all of a full day’s revenue to its staff. It was an acknowledgment that a very slow summer makes it hard for employees who rely on tips to earn a living.

We arrived a few minutes before it shifted over to the late-night menu, and the dining room was a multicultural mix of all different types of…

At first, when I heard about Soda Club being an iconic vegan Italian restaurant in New York, I wondered if vegan Italian food could be as good as original Italian food and boy, was I pleasantly surprised! Not only did I fall in love with this NYC Italian eatery, but as soon as I sunk my fork into the delicious pasta flight, I knew this would be a…
