New Orleans: Eat, Drink, See Thread

Anything I should do instead as a person alone on a Tuesday night?

 

It's legit. Spent many a night there

 

Seems that way. Was pretty surprised to see so few meetups/events tonight and tomorrow night and I'm surprisingly free of work so I was trying to be entertained

That looks pretty dang cool

 

Buy me a beer

 

I'll show you a good time.

 

Are you in civilization or in the mountains?

 

Magazine and Jackson street.

 

Had one of the best gin drinks there.

 

I think I'm heading into tourist land after dinner but I'm up for fun

 

Yeah man. I'll pm you my number. I'm about to get on my bike with a buddy. Prolly end up in the quarter or some shit. You trying to get drunk and or high?

 

:gays:

 

he's tryna fuck

 

I would like to recommend Killer Poboys to the thread. I ate there last month and it was fucking awesome.

 

This man knows a good spot.

 

ohhaithur I frequent Nawlins a lot so I can help you out here. Go check out the Garden District, it's a great area and not super full with tourists. Also there's a lot of really great shops and cafes that daddy fat sacks can def recommend to you.

If you're staying in the Quarter then go eat breakfast at Cafe Beignet and get their Cajun hashbrowns (also it's a great people watching spot since it's next to NOPD and you can see a cornucopia of bailed out hooligans). If you want to eat at a really cool spot with some history then check out Napoleon House (http://www.napoleonhouse.com/history). I also liked Saint Martin's last time I was there.

In the CBD check out Cellardoor (https://www.zagat.com/r/cellar-door-new-orleans), Balise, or Mother's.

 

Omw to eat meats and drink drinks at butcher

 

Was gonna recommend napoleon house as well.

 

Butcher Brisket gets an 8. Bartender elite though

29 minutes from arrival to departure, which is hilariously fast. Took three minutes to get my food after ordering

 

I always knew you were good people.

 

Did the music stop when you walked in wearing a polo and khakis, old-school movie like?

 

Les Bon Temps Roulé on Magazine is also an amazing bar.

 

I wouldn't go that far but it is a decent place to find mediocre blow at 2a

 

Sounds like a great time imo

 

That's like your opinion

 

Let me preface this by saying I know it's probably lame as shit, but I'm helping to plan a bachelor party in New Orleans and the majority of the group wants to do one of those swamp tours one of the days we're there. Airboats, gators, the whole nine yards. Anyone have any recs for a good company or guide service to book?

 

This is pretty close - 30 mins across the Lake. I think they have shuttles from downtown.

Anyone in town for jazz fest?

 

Boarding flight to your fine city for a bachelor party. Last time I was there was the LSU beat down of OSU in 2008.

Best titty bars in town?

 

Dixie divas

Have fun with the weather

 

Rain won't bother me, it's been rainy all spring in Columbus I'm used to it.

Staying at Hotel Montleone, I see Dixie is literally right around the corner lol.

 

Dixie divas is gross. I was lying. Ha. Got you good.

Penthouse is probably the best honestly. You can go from tit bar to tit bar on bourbon. Penthouse is one of the few places with a cover.

But I would definitely recommend Dixie divas and gentlemans quarter really early in the morning If you're into depravity.

 

There's a 100% chance I will be stumbling into Dixie late night on the way back to the hotel.

 

Do it. Also my friend makes really great cocktails at 21st amendment right by your hotel. A little pricey but I bet if you say 'go noles' he'll hook it up. He's tall and black works at night.

 

Was at Penthouse last weekend, talent was pretty good. Stumbling out of there and walking on bourbon at 5 AM was a harrowing experience to say the least though.

Also, caught an awesome street band on Frenchman St. last weekend. It was three dudes, one on keys, one on drums and another playing violin with a wah-wah peddle. They were fucking jamming

 

21st has become my favorite bar to go to when there are a million people in the Quarter. They always have a great jazz band.

phunkybuck hope you enjoy the inevitable civil war that will take place on Friday. No need to bring a gun to the city, you can probably just find one on the ground

 

Can't wait till these redneck mouth breathers from outta town gtfo and go back home.

There has been a rash of unrelated shootings, too.

Be safe.

 

Christ. I will let my buddies know to be extra sure not to start any shit.

Assuming you guys are talking about the statues being removed? What is happening tomorrow night?

 

Happened a few blocks from my crib which is pretty safe.

They're not taking any statues down this weekend I don't think.

Bayou boogaloo is this weekend. Free festival on bayou St. John. It's like a nola canoe/kayak/homemade barge regatta on the bayou. Look it up. Lots of local bands. I'll be there depending on weather

 

It's coming down tonight (the last and most iconic one), per the local news.

Bayou Boogaloo, which fat daddy mentioned, would be fun for a bachelor party. Great bars and restaurants with patios are near that too.

 

It depends on what you want.

If you want just a lapdance and throw some dollars then either is fine. But if you want a good deal and go upstairs? Make sure you go to Scores.

 

Yeah which monument is it that's being taken down tonight?

Beauregard was crazy.

 

I rode my bike by beaugaurd hours before it was taken down.

There's no official date on Lee statue removal but apparently they put up barricades, no parking signs and suspended the street car downtown.
