    Cafe And Then Some

    Worth visiting!

    I grew up here.  — 5 months ago

    Literally. My mother’s very best friend is Susan Smith, co-founder and co-owner of the Cafe and Then Some, one of the most notorious places in Greenville and absolutely one of the most successful establishments in the Downtown area no matter what for the last twenty-five years. My mother and father met because of this place. I am who I am because of it.

    Legend has it that my mother and Susan were supposed to be doing a show (back in the day, the Cafe was open for lunch and mom and Susan did a really short bit on stage) the day I was born. She called Susan to tell her she wouldn’t be able to make it.

    Every single show performed in the Cafe is original, written by Ron Whisenant (and a very small handful by my mother). The shows are side-splitting funny, and the company is made of people who are smart, funny, successful and kind. The characters in the shows are local celebrities. I cannot tell you how many times I have been with my mother or Susan or both and had people come up and say, “Oh my Gawd, it’s NORMA JEAN!” or “Look y’all, it’s Ms. Louise Spiffey.” Local politics, local social scandal, national politics, celebrities, the South…nothing is off-limits, and if you think making fun of people is mean, the Cafe and Then Some is not the place for you.

    The food is great, the shows are hysterical, and the place is an absolute staple of Downtown Greenville. What more could you want?

    The photograph above is of an original portrait by the late Suzanne Greene, done in watercolor in the mid-1990s. The portrait features Susan Smith (left) playing Norma Jean and Yvonne Mason (my mother, right) playing Ruby Nell, Norma Jean’s mother. The portrait hangs in the Cafe, as do several of Ms.Greene’s other watercolor depictions of favorite characters.

    Petřínské Sady

    Worth visiting!

    If you go in October,  — 8 months ago

    you just might experience the most romantic time of your life. Russ and I didn’t go for the tiny Eiffel Tower or the house of mirrors (just don’t waste your money on that one, OK?) We went for the view-and it was amazing. The leaves were afire and yellow, and sitting on one of the benches in the park with Russ is one of the single most youthfully beautiful and romantic moments of my life. I’ll never forget it.

    Also, you get to ride this fun cable car up the hill!

    Duke Sandwich Company

    Worth visiting!

    Best sandwich of all time. Don't fight me on this.  — 8 months ago

    Cream cheese and pineapple on white.
