Things We Did in New Orleans
As you may have known from my Facebook or Twitter stream, Sharon and I just spent 6 days in New Orleans, LA. I have to admit that it was a good time from start to finish. We were active everyday with local attractions and activities (because I loathe going somewhere new and just sitting around), as well as consuming more tasty food and beverages than we could possibly handle.
Below is the massive summary of everywhere we went in New Orleans, LA (with links if you’re more curious):
- ate at La Bayou Restaurant (once for food, twice for drinks)
- put some money in a slot machine at Harrah’s Casino
- went to House of Blues (saw Zoso, a Led Zeppelin tribute band)
- walked around Bourbon Street (every night)
- had beignets at Cafe Du Monde (twice)
- had lunch at the Acme Oyster House
- took a class at the New Orleans School of Cooking
- took the Mardi Gras World tour
- ate at Deanie’s Restaurant
- stood in no A/C and standing room only for a set of old time jazz at Preservation Hall
- ate at Bourbon House
- visited the Voodoo Museum and went on the Cemetery Tour offered there
- took a dinner/jazz cruise on the Steamboat Natchez
- went on the Garden District Walking Tour
- rode the Canal St. Streetcar
- went to the New Orleans Museum of Art
- ate at Oceana Grill Restaurant
- souvenir shopping on Decatur Street
- had our last meal at Mother’s Restaurant
- and through it all drank a ton of Abita Beer and Southern Pecan Beer
There were a few things that we wanted to do but didn’t (Aquarium, Swamp/Alligator Tour, Strip Clubs… okay, just kidding on that last one, honey), but maybe on our next trip. All in all, it sure beat the hell out of going to Vegas or Puerto Rico again. Thanks for reading. Cheers.

La Bayou looks good. Wish we would have hit that place when we were down there. A lot of the older places I went to the first time I went to New Orleans were not the same after Katrina.
Glad you guys enjoyed yourselves!

Yeah, La Bayou became our “pet” place, since it was the only place that carried the Southern Pecan beer that I loved. We avoided the Katrina tour… why see something depressing while you’re on vacation, right?
