‘Three Tourists Mugged in the Quarter? No Big Deal.’

imageI’ve been following Sarah Hepola’s Nerve.com column “Crying In Restaurants”—a series of essays about her romantic misadventures, most of which involve (you guessed it) crying in restaurants. The series’ finale has all the humor, insight and almost-uncomfortable honesty as the first five installments—and it’s also a travel story. Hepola writes about her violent mugging in post-Katrina New Orleans, which, amazingly, has a happy ending: the mugging leads her, by way of a friendly detective, a nasty defense lawyer, a couple of NYC-NOLA flights and a whole lot of long-distance phone calls, to an outcome so good she’s no longer (you guessed it again) crying in restaurants.
