When Stan Williams opened Stan’s Place
in January 2005, he wanted to offer the Boerum Hill community
a comfortable cafe with the feel of New Orleans. It’s a city
that’s close to Williams’s heart, and the customers enjoyed his
down-by-the-Bayou po’ boys, spicy gumbos and bananas Foster.
But Williams longed to serve full meals, too, where his guests
could really dig into Big Easy favorites.

soiree with "Entertaining with The Sopranos," a new
book written by Carmela Soprano (along with Allen Rucker and
cookbook author Michele Scicolone).

technology, piracy and new DVD release strategies are going to
translate into even fewer people watching movies on the big-screen.
