<b>Meeting Grandma</b> - <br>The Café Concheta tagline is "Where friends meet", but the new café isjust as much a place for family since Cerise's children Ashley andAlan-Matthew Isaacs huddled with their grandma Daphne Tavares-McDermott.

Pulse HQ, home of a lot more these days than The Rock’s leggiest belles, added The Gene Pearson Gallery to its complex Sunday last and as Kingsley Cooper and artist Gene Pearson cut the ribbon to officially declare the atelier open Pearson devotes were only too eager to file in. On Monday Page 2 stopped by Café Concheta’s soirée to the new spot’s offerings. The evening also coincided with owner Cerise Isaacs’ birthday.

<b>Café Catching Up</b> – <br>Cerise’s siblings Junior McDermott and Jean Reid (right) — who jettedin from Atlanta to share in her sis’ special evening — sipped vino andtalked about old times with friends Margaret Shaw (left) and AudreyMcNeil.
<b>”Where Friends Meet…”</b><br>And share a laugh, just ask Café Concheta director Cerise Isaacs whom we snapped doing just that with Michael Casserly at the soirée.
<b>Piercing Pearson</b><br>Gary and Cheryl Peart were definitely caught up in the great work of artist Gene Pearson.
