WHAT IS 100% GENUINE CORK FABRIC?

Cork is harvested from
the cork oak tree which is
found mainly in coastal
areas of Portugal and
Spain. The fabric is made
by boiling the bark and
then placing thin slices
onto a cotton polyester
backing. The top of the
cork fabric is sealed with
two layers of waterproong
sealant so that nothing can
penetrate through.
This fabric is upholstery grade material and meant
to be as durable as leather and last for many years.
The additional features of cork are:
Lightweight
Waterproof
Scratch Resistant
Mildew Resistant
Hypoallergenic
Stain Resistant
The fabric is cleaned using a damp sponge and

water and requires no oils or additional treatments.

Little Vics Rosticceria - A Taste of Sicily

When Vic Caraccis Great Grandfather came by banana
boat from Sicily to the United States, little did he know
that a legacy that he created would continue on today
in the French Quarter.
When Vics family immigrated from Sicily, they settled
straight into New Orleans and worked as street vendors
in the French Market selling a variety of fruits, vegetables
and many other things. Vics uncle and a friend came
from Sicily and taught Vic & cousins how tto make their
famous gelato. His Grandfather opened Papa Vics and continued to master the art of making gelato. Since Vic was named after his Grandfather, it
was only natural when his dream to open his own place became a reality, Little Vics
was born. Little Vics, a family owned & operated business, opened in 2010.
Vic has brought the taste and tradition of Sicily to New Orleans through the recipes
and dishes that his Grandfather passed onto him as he taught him to cook. He has
created the atmosphere of the Rosticceria that is typical of small delis and street
vendors that would prepare their food daily in the morning and sell throughout the day
until it was gone. And on any given day you will find the aromas of the homemade
breads and sauces that will take you a walk back in time, along with the old family
photos of generations past that adorn the walls.
Little Vics specializes in Pizza Focaccia, Sfogila and Pitoni which represents the
traditional Sicilian street food along with Vics favorite, Arancini, which are filled and
fried risotto balls. Everything is homemade and is prepared in house, including the
breads, sauces and pastries. They also offer a variety of fresh made salads, baked pasta
specials, sandwiches, pastries and of course their famous gelato. The family gelato
making is carried on to this day by Vic and his cousin Frank, who he has been
training since he was 14 years old.
Bringing the family tradition from Sicily .......... Enjoy it in the courtyard!

Lifestyles & Living Guide
A Real New Orleans Original

Not only was French
Quarter Artist Craig Tracy
born and raised in New
Orleans, he is also one
of the most creative
personalities you will ever
meet.
He lives and works in the
French Quarter and he
usually spends the majority
of his afternoons casually meeting and greeting those that
admire and collect his enigmatic works. "My gallery acts as an
informal annex to my living room and Studio" states the artist
in a recent interview. "I love connecting with people and
sharing what I do."
The Craig Tracy Gallery, located at 827 Royal Street, will
soon be celebrating it's eighth birthday and if you know your
history and math you'll know that Tracy's was one of the first
galleries opened just after the devastation of Hurricane
Katrina. Being a part of the "rebirth" of the New Orleans
creative and business scene meant taking substantial risks, but
for an artist such as Tracy, risks are all just par for the course.
His gallery is the very first in the world dedicated to the fine
art of bodypainting and without a doubt it is now a substantial
cultural must see while visiting the French Quarter. If you love
art and creativity, you'll not want to miss your chance to visit
his gallery and perhaps take a piece home from a real New
Orleans original.

Fun & Interesting Facts
Information about
NOLA & Louisiana
Originally built in 1718, the St. Louis Cathedral in New

Orleans is the oldest cathedral in the U.S. The present
structure, the third one on the site, dates from 1789.
When states had their own currency, the Louisiana Dix
(French for ten) was a favored currency for trade. English
speakers called them Dixies and coined the term Dixieland.
The formal transfer of the Louisiana Purchase was made at
the Cabildo building in New Orleans on December 20, 1803.
The first theater in the U.S. was established in New Orleans.

New Orleans is also where opera was first performed in the
U.S., back in 1796.
Poker was invented in New Orleans during the 1700s. The

game of craps was invented in New Orleans in 1813 as
betting was common activity on the wharves.
The term Uncle Sam was coined on the wharves of New

Orleans before Louisiana was a U.S. territory as goods labeled
U.S. were from Uncle Sam.
New Orleans is the home of the oldest pharmacy in America at
514 Chartres Street in the French Quarter. These early medical
mixtures became known as cocktails, coining yet another term.

Royal Street, New Orleans

Royal Street (Spanish: Calle Real; French: Rue Royale) is
a street in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is one of the oldest
streets in the city, dating from the French Colonial era, and
is most well known for the antique shops, art galleries, and
stately hotels that line its sides as it runs through New
Orleans' French Quarter and tourist district. Royal Street is
the best known street in the French Quarter besides Bourbon Street.
The street starts at Canal Street (above Canal Street the equivalent street becomes
Uptown New Orleans' St. Charles Avenue). It runs down through the French Quarter,
Faubourg Marigny, Bywater, and Lower 9th Ward neighborhoods to the Jackson Barracks
at the border of St. Bernard Parish. The Industrial Canal forms a gap in the street
between the Bywater and Lower 9th Ward neighborhoods.
The most famous section of Royal street is the portion in the upper French Quarter,
known for its scores of opulent antique shops and art galleries. Despite its orderly nature,
it is located only one block south of the party atmosphere of Bourbon Street. The prices
at its art shops and antique stores tend to be very high; indeed, it has been listed as one
of the most expensive places to shop in the world. The finer antique shops display not
simply items that are old, but such rare items as pieces of fine art furniture owned by royalty of past centuries. Although such pieces are out of the budget of all but a few visitors,
window shopping along Royal Street is a popular pastime for visitors, especially art
lovers, even if they are not buying.
The portion of Royal Street between St Louis and St Ann streets is closed to traffic every
afternoon to create a pedestrian mall. During this time, numerous street performers set up
in the street. Though the quality of performers ranges widely, some of the best up and
coming jazz bands in New Orleans can be seen here regularly.
Royal Street also includes restaurants, ranging from the upscale Brennan's through
midrange and budget options, as well as luxury hotels such as the Omni Royal Orleans
and the Hotel Monteleone. Below Jackson Square, Royal becomes more of a mix of residential and neighborhood businesses.
Despite catastrophic damage in most of the city caused by the failure of the Federal levee
system during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Royal Street was spared by the great flood
other than the section in the Lower 9th Ward, as it is in the naturally higher ground near
the Mississippi River levee. Flooding was only minor and restricted to the street while
most sidewalks and stores remained free of floodwaters.

Local Author - Arita Bohannan

About the Author - Arita M. L. Bohannan
graduated with a bachelor of science degree before
attending Loyola University New Orleans College of
Law, where she earned her juris doctor degree and
special certificates in common law and international
law. Mrs. Bohannans work has been published in the
Loyola Law Review, and in 2002 was a speaker at the
Symposium against Domestic Violence. She was the
winner of the 2001 Association of Trial Attorneys in-house trial competition.
She worked briefly as a law clerk for the Orleans Parishs district attorneys
office and as a clinical attorney for Loyola law school, the latter with the
Indigent Defender Board. She is a member of several boards, including
those serving victims of domestic and sexual violence, and often donates
hours of pro bono work to those in need. She has owned a small family law
firm since 2002.
Raised an army brat, Mrs. Bohannan was the victim of childhood sexual
abuse. Her personal story, paired with her love of the law, has provided her
with a unique perspective that enhances her writing.
Mrs. Bohannan lives in the suburbs of New Orleans, a city full of mystery
and romance. She owns a small but successful law firm. She boasts not of
her academic or professional success but of her family. She is married to
Brad Bohannan, who owns several New Orleans barrestaurant establishments. Together, they have two sons, Deuce and Bryce. Her favorite pastime is watching her boys play sports and find their way in the world.
About the Book - Have you ever come face-to-face with the person who
hurt you most in your life? Thats exactly what happens to Sandra Morgan,
a young and beautiful assistant district attorney. She comes
face-to-face with the man who abused her when she was a
child when he is on trial in the New Orleans Criminal Court
and Morgan is the prosecutor. A shocking courtroom decision
consumes her as she battles with her inner demons in an effort
to seek the revenge to which she feels entitled. But after the
trial of her life, is there really a winner?
