In New Orleans on some family things last week. I won't go into detail beyond listing places and links. This post is going to be something like one of those funny songs where everything gets jammed together. So... here we go!
Maspero's | Sazerac Bar | Streetcar! | WWII Museum | near Audubon Park to visit an old friend | The Avenue Pub | Cafe du Monde (the original, but too crowded on a Saturday morning, duh) so Cafe Beignet instead | Audubon Aquarium | Central Grocery for a muffuletta | Big Sexy Neon | Parkway Bakery (roast beef & shrimp po-boy? Yes!) | French Market | and finally, when the food was all too much... a smoothie and an early bed. Of course there were numerous other small side trips, stops, and adventures that didn't quite make the list, but trust me, if you go there you'll have many of your own.
Stayed at the Avenue Plaza hotel right on St. Charles. With a streetcar stop right in front, there was no need to move the car for four days. It felt downright civilized. Location, Location, Location.
I don't think much more could have comfortably been squeezed into four days.
