Two.dot.Eight!

Heman 28 Bday Night 050
That's right... Hemanshu is gettinh old. We went to Romano's Macaroni Grill followed by Maxine's Hideaway which is the old Balthazar.

Interesting fact: Maxine's hideway used to be a brothel and there used to be a tunnel that connected Rogers Mansion, now Romano’s Macaroni Grill; the Rogers Sugar magnate liked to have his own secret point of access to the brothel.

In the 1930’s, it was used as a hideout for two of America’s most wanted fugitives (one of whom was captured by J. Edgar Hoover himself.) When times got tough, Madame Maxine used the lower floor of the beauty school as a brothel, hence The “Bordello Room Lounge."
