Ms. Tootsie's grows up big-time

Next time you pop into Ms. Tootsie's (1312 South St.), you might notice something a little different about the upcale soul food restaurant. Owner Keven Parker has decided to give his girl a makeover, starting with a slew of new dishes. Beginning this Friday, Dec. 2, diners will be able to dig into new menu items like herb-crusted grilled lamb chops with fried apples, bourbon-braised short ribs with sweet home fries and fried "soul rolls" filled with chicken, yams and cabbage. Space-wise, Parker's introduced three additional floors to the restaurant — while the ground level remains largely the same save for the addition of a "love lounge" catering to couples, head upstairs and you'll be greeted by a new R&B room (second floor), sky bar (third floor) and luxe lounge (fourth floor), all catering to a music- and nightlife-seeking crowd. That's not all, either — Parker's taken it upon himself to launch KDP Lifestyle and Luxury Suites (1310 South St.), a housewares store and boutique hotel, right next to the restaurant.
