Ok, so quickie NoLa recap (not that anyone cares)

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) May 28 '13, 08:35

The Market Cafe - still has the best fried catfish po-boy, ever!

Cafe DuMonde - Stellar as always.

Royal Street - Tanya and Dorise are frickin incredible (link below)

Hand Grenades - still delicious, still powerful

Overall, though...kinda disappointing. The city just hasn't been the same since Katrina...it's kinda sad.

The French Market isn't even close to what it used to be. Bourbon Street isn't what it used to be. It's kind of a shame what's happened since Katrina...for me, anyway.

Yeah...they're good. (www.youtube.com)

I have no comparison pre-katrina, but we had a swell time last summer. Mmm... food. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 08:37 14

  - I hadn't been pre-Katrina, but that is too bad. there definitely seemed to be a lack of artists. - loosilu May 28, 08:50 5
    - Yeah...there's a shit ton of touristy stuff and it didn't used to be like that. For artists, the best place to go now is Jackson Square - Jim May 28, 08:52 4
      - I saw! I did my own sketches there too. huh, I just checked and I never put them online. - loosilu May 28, 08:55 3

        not in those. plenty in my other work. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 08:58
  - Yeah, that really sucks. -- nm - Spawn May 28, 08:45 3
    - Bourbon is the biggest bummer of the trip for me. I used to love going from club to club...hear an amazing blues singer at one club...then head next - Jim May 28, 08:47 2
      - Yu gotta keep 'em separated. -- nm - Spawn May 28, 08:48
      - Yeah, Frenchmen St is where the music scene is now. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 08:48
mmmm Hand Grenades. nm -- nm - groiny May 28, 08:36 1
- Hand grenades is good. That is one of the few clubs that hasn't changed. So much so, that the band that played there all the time - Jim May 28, 08:48
