This review is for the restaurant at the front of the Healing Center, which is known as "Fatouche"…read more My wife brought me there when we first moved into the area. She swore it was excellent middle eastern food, and she was absolutely right. The food is fresh, fast, and very tasty. The prices are reasonable. The only (minor) drawback is that the service is just a tad sluggish and depending on the complexity of activity in the kitchen (which is half-open to the restaurant), you may have to listen to arguments between the kitchen staff while waiting for your food. Otherwise, everything about this place is great. The space is bright, tastefully decorated, and inviting. There is plenty of seating. It is clean and well-maintained by an attentive staff. I highly recommend Fatouche if you're in the area and feel like good Turkish or Middle Eastern food. The gyro ("yeah-row" here, NOT "jye-roh"), in particular, was especially good.

I want to acknowledge that the New Orleans Healing Center does meaningful work in the community…read more Unfortunately, our family's experience with its internal management was extremely disappointing. My daughter, a white Hispanic woman and single mother, was terminated despite never having been formally written up or, to our knowledge, counseled for the supposed performance problems later used to justify her termination. When she challenged the reasons given and requested a written separation notice, the notice had to be rewritten multiple times because the explanations being provided kept changing. There had been ongoing interpersonal problems involving Devonte Bell that management, including Denise, was aware of. Rather than effectively addressing those problems, our family believes Devonte's personal conflict with problems involving my daughter was allowed to influence the decision to terminate her. We are also deeply concerned that race and gender may have played a role in how she was treated. Devonte is a Black male, while my daughter is a white Hispanic female, and based on the circumstances and the very different treatment she received, our family believes there are legitimate questions about discriminatory treatment that deserve examination. An organization can do wonderful things for its community and still have serious internal management problems. Employees deserve consistency, documentation, accountability, and fair treatment-not changing explanations after they have already been terminated. I sincerely hope the New Orleans Healing Center takes a closer look at its management practices, documentation procedures, employee relations, and accountability. The organization's mission deserves leadership and workplace practices that reflect the same values it promotes publicly.

I recently had the privilege and honor of spending three glorious days, well into the evening, at…read morethis court house serving jury duty. Before Monday, I had been called for jury duty (JD) one other time and we were dismissed due to lack of cases. I was not so lucky this time. Some basics: when you get your summons, you will have a number that you are assigned. This will be your number throughout the process, so don't forget it. Check the JP website the night before to see if you have to report. Parking: the parking garage is convenient and easy and your parking will be validated, so park there for easy access. I suggest getting there a little early to avoid the line going in, especially on busier days. Once you get there you will check in and then you just sit and wait for your name to be called. If you're lucky, you'll be called fast or dismissed. I was called immediately and I headed upstairs. The first trial I was a going to be a possible juror for was a criminal trial. After about two hours of group questioning, I was dismissed and sent back downstairs to wait to be called again. The jury I was actually picked for was a civil trial that lasted two solid days. Lucky me. More on that in a minute. On the day I was waiting to find out if I was going to be chosen, we were given 15 minutes to get something at the snack bar, eat it and get back to the jury pool room. Apparently, it was a busy day at the JP courthouse. The snack bar has a few sandwiches and other snacks, but if you can bring your own food, that will be even better. The actual serving of jury duty was okay. My judge was super cool and gave us lots of breaks, brought in breakfast and lunch and our jury "lounge" was packed with candy, coffee, soft drinks, water, chips, fruit, cookies and other goodies. The bailiffs really did the best they could to make the experience as comfortable as possible for us and constantly checked in to make sure that we had everything that we needed. There's WiFi in the jury room and you can have your phone as long as you aren't in the courtroom or deliberating on a verdict (this might have been just because I had a civil case, though. I'm not sure how criminal cases work with internet access). If you get picked, expect some long days. I didn't get out until after 7 on all three days that I was there. The worst part of the entire experience was the constant sitting around and not really moving. It does get boring after a while, especially when you are waiting for lawyers and other involved people to show up, so bring a book or other form of entertainment and bring a sweater because the courtroom gets really cold and bring your own snacks if you have dietary issues. When all is said and done you'll get a fancy certificate thanking you for your service, so feel free so show that to the jerk who you said you would never make anything of your life.
