Lonely Planet review for K-Doe’s Mother-in-Law Lounge
Ernie K-Doe was famous for writing the song ‘Mother-in-Law’ and frequently proclaiming his ‘Emperorship of ‘he Universe.’ The Mother-in-Law lounge carries on his surreal legacy, filled with life-sized statutes of the Emperor of the Universe, touching pictures of his empress (dearly departed wife, Antoinette) and lots of loyal customers. Note the hearse out front: Antoinette bought it before Katrina (because, hey, a hearse has storage space, right?) and staff apparently used the car to sneak back into the flooded city several times (because who’s going to stop a hearse?).
