eatin my little heart out in the bayou
hi ya'llllll
we just returned from a jam packed 4 day eating extravaganza...
well actually a little walkin mixed in or really a lot of walkin mixed in....
New Orlean's isn't big on wayfaring but they sure are freindly and nice with directions.
Southern hospitality exudes and made any shortcomings fine by me!!!!
some of my top spot's
First morning treat the ever bustling Cafe Dumonde - a little bit of a tourist trap but for good reason. 800 Decatur St. on the river in the Quater.
Great coffee and beingets and that's it - who needs anything else to start your day
Best paella and the most mouth watering, buttery smooth chocolate cake i ever have wrapped my tongue around - I am buying anyone who get's me the real recipe dinner at Langosta and i will promote their spot on our site.... PLEASE HELP
Lola's - 3312 Esplenade A little bit of a drive but well worth it - Have the Sangria!
The best meal of our trip - Fried green Tomatoes - yeha!!!
Atchafaya - " something to do with swamps?" awesome bloody mary with pickled beans and ockra
901 Louisiana Ave - over by the Garden District off Magazine Street
The Gumbo Shop for a quick lunch of traditional gumbo
630 St Peter's St. by the church and their is one of the oldest bars on this street Pat Obrien's and the Old Absinthe House
Try a sazerac - my new favorite cocktail !!!! Rye and bitters, splash of pernod to season the glass, a little sugar, twist of lemon and 3 ice cubes.
the best I had in my quest was at Bayona
beautiful courtyard and great staff
430 Dauphine St
If you want the real deal last call spot go to Buffa's on Esplenade but do it before the bartenders tip the bottle al little too hard but this was our last night cap spot every night and they remember your libation of choice when you walk in the door. Nothing fancy!!!!
Best burgers even though I don't eat them - I could tell by the crouds, the referals and the cases of empty meat on the street every night
Port of Call - on Esplenade across from our hotel
Melrose Mansion - ask for the honeymoon suite ( delmico suite?) and you will experience the most beautiful nights sleep without breaking the bank
places we wish we got a chance to try but missed the boat
Elizabeth's for prailine bacon breakfast - 601 Gallier st. in Marigny
Mat & Naddie's - like something we would open if we ventured south - 937 Leonidas St on the river way down by Tuelane
Brigtsen's and Dante's on dante street - referred by many
We were going to try Cochon ( which many referred us too) but the the chef and his side kick's were the most unpersonable and uninviting people I met on the trip so we opted out and went to August for a truly opulent and romantic meal.
We did support the Cresent City Farmer's Market at a benefit food tasting with Alice Water's - as my staff refer's to me as ghetto waters for my like minded view on food and life and community service, It was a fullfilled dream before I die to meet her . She was everything and more and I am still bubbly over the experince....
Go to Frenchman St for music any night there are bars and music venues bumpin!
Get your hair done at Urban Angel on Magazine St for a great color and cut .....
shop on Magazine St for anything fun and funky or sweet.....
more to come
