New Orleans

[BigRichard]

Hitting a cruise ship out of New Orleans next week. Going to be in New Orleans a couple of days early. What are some things we can see or do? I know the French Quarter area has several things but what else is there to do?

Also you can go on a bus tour of the Garden District which is pretty cool and they throw in an old cemetery to check out as well. They use to have a families for generations placed in those big crypts. It was kind of weird but informative.

Don’t know if it’s still there but the scotch house. It might be Willie Mays scotch house? Great chicken, and great New Orleans atmosphere.



The red beans and rice are the bomb as well.

That place with the one gallon take out daiquiris.

Best food in the city is at Jacques-Imo’s in my opinion. Brigtsen’s and Shaya are also incredible.

Best sandwiches are at Cochon Butcher and Parkway Poboys.

Best cocktails are at the Cure.

Best place for live music is anywhere on Frenchmen Street—dba, Spotted Cat, Blue Nile.

If you’re not having a great time in NOLA, the problem is you.

Its where General Andrew Jackson made a name for himself as it brought about the end of the War of 1812. Estimated casualties of the battle was U.S.
62 to England's 2,034. And England had more forces on the field.

Its just a few miles away from New Orleans.

Oh, I never thought of that. I really want to do that the next time I travel to New Orleans.

I bet St. Louis is in second place, though.
