The " Big Easy" in May!

Never been here before, but will surely go back again!
It was May, and it was hot, but it was fun.
Bourbon Street was a waste.
We had friends who pointed us to restaurants and things
to do,so we did the Art Museum (The Blue Dog exhibit was there.),
the D-Day Museum, the new Aquarium, and the Zoo, everybody's
favorite.
Did not go into the still-ravaged areas, but could see where things were and
are still being repaired.
Learned quickly that the street car is the best way to get around.
Went to the Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo, a great street festival with food, music, art and beer!
(Kind of a mini-Bele Chere before it outgrew itself.)
Went to Wednesday in the Park, not unlike Asheville's 3rd Friday Downtown After Five, but bigger, much bigger-good music, food, and Abita beer.
Those who ate them now know that the Acme Oyster House in the Quarter
has better chargrilled oysters than Draygo's-famed for them.
We have had pain perdu at Petunia's, Oso Buco at Irene's, Ocean with... at Adolopho's,
beignets at Cafe du Monde, brunch at Elizabeth's, chargrilled oysters at Acme
Oyster House, and po' boys at Mother's. (we will leave off the drinks list!).
We still have a list of things to do and more places to eat when we go back. Thanks
to our two friends who let us in on the where to go, do and eat info!
