Back from New Orleans. Had a good time.
Everything was nasty expensive. $7 for a bottle of Abita at one hotel bar.
Most of the live music in the Quarter, well, kinda sucks.
Hmm, you musta missed Steamboat Willie, that was really cool.
Abita at Mulatte's was $4.95.
Cafe du lait and a plate of
beignets was something like $5 at Cafe du Monde. Where-all did you go?
I did Cafe du Monde. I grant: not too expensive for more food than you want (though you're stuck, pretty much, with coffee and beignets). The breakfast at Daisy Duke's was really reasonably priced (and had eggs and hashbrowns). Breakfast tended to be, I grant, really good.
I did miss Steamboat Willie.
Abita, I found, was normally ca. 3-4.50. the $6.80 stuff was in the hotel bars of the Sheraton and the Marriott. You know the hotel bar is going to be high, but I thought that was really rough. Happy hour, though, it was the reasonable $4 range. I heard rumors that there was a bar further north on Canal that had drafts for ca. $3. Didn't find it; I ranged mostly east and south.
