Bar Americain was literally one or two blocks from our hotel and, while I had reservations about eating at a TV-star's restaurant, we went.  It turned out to be great!

This sign is mildly amusing; I'm sure dcs knows that Laura used "literally" correctly in this instance [just looking out for our members!]

(Now, would someone tell me if I'm supposed to put a period after that parenthetical (or bracketed) phrase, given that it has an exclamation point inside the brackets?), and is part of a larger sentence that isn't?

More troubling is this notice on their website:

Customer: "I heard you throw out customers who use the word "literally" - good for y ....
Bouncer: "Out you go, motherf ....!"
