New Orleans: Eat, Drink, See Thread

I'd pay $100 for a Parkway po'boy right now.

 

I laughed

 

Really excited to go to JamNOLA when all this is over. I’ve been loving the pics they’ve shared from the inside.

 

I’ll have to look that up; haven’t heard about it.

 

It’s an art funhouse like MeowWolf! Hate that they had to wait so long to open, but glad they’re finally getting some money. I’m a big fan of the Bling Bayou room already. https://jamnola.com/

 

Damn that’s pretty awesome.

 

Just bumping to plug for the good dude Mason Hereford. I finally got to hit up the Mama Tried pop up at Turkey and the Wolf last week. Wings were killer and the margs are strong and will treat you right as expected.

 

Never really understood how fun parades were until I lived in New Orleans. This is obviously the right decision though

 

So who’s the first to announce they’re rollin in Jefferson Parish?

 

Devastating news

 

Anyone been to Gianna? Thoughts?

 

You know it’s going to happen

 

Yeah it was really good. I went back in March right before the lockdown.

 

I take back my statement, Barry Breaux is a nut too.

 

Just came in a plate of debris fries at mahonys. Also had the chicken liver po boy but it was kinda meh

 

Anyone have a preferred hotel they stay in for their NOLA trips?

Gonna book a trip for the Saints - Bucs game once the NFL schedule comes out this week. Was leaning towards Bienville House, but am open to other suggestions.

 

Audubon cottages

 

Looks nice. It's a little (a lot) more than I want to pay though.

 

Anyone know of any balcony’s selling tickets for New Year’s Eve over bourbon street?

 

So Gris Gris was really good. Hit a few dive bars.

 

No offense but how old are you and have you been to bourbon Street before?

 

Haha I’m old. The wife wanted to see fireworks and be able to not be crushed by the crowd. Think we are just going to wonder Frenchman street or Freret street now.

 

Just ate at Trep’s. Pretty cool spot. Good drinks and food.

 

Much better idea.

 

Gris Gris is great. I was in town and insisted on x-mas eve dinner there. The whole fish is just awesome.

 

I had the rabbit and the bff had the dumplings.

 

Gris gris was a good meal, I really enjoyed the shrimp and grits there

 

I was going to get that but the people near us said the portion was too small

 

On the verge of blackout after the SECCG, I booked a (nonrefundable) hotel room at the Royal Sonesta (on Bourbon Street) for tonight through Monday. I am dreading having to step foot onto Bourbon on NYE

 

Hey I was just on Bourbon

 

Going as expected. Got yelled at last night around 1am for wearing a mask.

Having a balcony on Conti ~20 yards from Bourbon is definitely an interesting experience, though. Erin Rose starter/night caps ftw.

 

Are you sticking in the FQ the entire time before the game?

 

For the most part. Used to live in NOLA so I imagine we’ll end up visiting friends Uptown plus I really want to grab a Yakiniku from the Ajun Cajun. Reservations at Luke tomorrow to eat and drink before the game, so probably won’t venture too far this trip.

 

I need a brewery with food and football on

 

Think we shall try Second Line

 

Good call on both establishments.

 

So Freret seems seems smaller than we thought. At Cure now.

 

I love ramen. Went to the Royal Sushi & Bar. Damn this spicy tonkotsu is clearing this hangover. So good.

 

Glad you’re having a good time. Walk seven blocks to your north and enjoy Frenchman

 

Thanks. Ya we are going there later.

 

#LSU Tigers
Wife wants to head back to Nola for a post-baby trip and figure I’d parlay it into an LSU home game to see our ex-Head Coach. Thinking either the Ole Miss or Bama game next year. Planning on getting into town on Wednesday and stay through Sunday.

What’s the best round trip transportation option from Nola to Tiger Stadium for a game? Also, what’s the best option for tailgating for someone that doesn’t want to set up their own? Lastly, safe to assume both of those games will be at night?

 

Think I'm going to try to get tickets for the LSU-FSU game for the wife. I've been trying to get her to go to NOLA since we got together 13 yrs ago. Thinking this is gonna be the avenue.
