flyingferret 0 #1 March 30, 2005 Well, by the looks of things I am flying to New Orleans on Satruday to pick up a car and drive it back. I won't have much time in New Orleans, basically a few hours probably. What must I hit or where should I eat lunch? I will be back sometime with more time.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miranda 0 #2 March 30, 2005 I haven't been to New Orleans in several years, but I used spend my summers there visiting my dad. I particularly liked a small restaurant in Jackson Square called Cafe Pontalba (sp?). They have exceptional gumbo!

We really like Deanie's on Lake Street near Lake Ponchartrain. It is actually in Metairie, LA rather than NOLA, but damn, they have the best shrimp because they are brackish water Lake Ponchartrain shrimp and not Gulf shrimp. But, you also must go to the quarter. Actually, there is a new Deanie's in the Quarter on Iberville Street across from the back entrance of the Ritz Carlton.

Might not be as good as some other local place, but it was awesome. Their mudbugs were mini-lobsters. Had a handful of local brews, mostly Abita Amber, oysters, a po boy, more crawfish, stuffed crab, more crawfish, and pecan pie before calling it a night. It was a good day! Had breakfast at Camella Gril the next morning, and then drove out. Rocketed down I 10, then took back roads from Beaumont through the Sam Houston National Forest to see AggieDave, then home.
