I gotta say this New Orleans trip was in my bucket list for the longest. Jorge and I finally had a chance to visit NOLA or the Big easy for the first time.
Since we arrived, we took the bus 202 (E2 is another option) to downtown. It took 1 hour and it's save 40$ instead of taking Uber
Walk around the city before check in at the hotel. We got Marriott for one night
The city is really cute
Our lunch was fried fish, fried pork ,mac and cheese and the veggies. We love it. This southern style was amazing. Catty Car Corner
Our hotel room at Marrirott
Our view
After checking in and left our heavy backpack, we rush up to French Quarter right the way. I gotta tell you. I really love the architecture and jazz music in every blocks
The weather was 60F. It was a bit chilly
Jazz and Sour
architecture is killing. Love it
We fell in love right the way
Feel like in France.
Love that every building has their balcony and flower
this is my favorite picture
We walked from Bourbon street to St. Louis Catherdal
St. Louis Cathedral is in Jackson Square Established in 1794 around French colonial time in 16 century ,become Cathedral in 1838
I head it hunted
me
Du Monde cafe is a must. The Beignets is famous and really delicious.
Coffee time
The menu
The cafe was busy. You just walk in and find your table
Beignets were also brought to Louisiana by the Acadians. These were fried fritters, sometimes filled with fruit. Today, the beignet is a square piece of dough, fried and covered with powdered sugar. They are served in orders of three. ( The coffee is too milky for me)
After coffee time, we walked back to the hotel for a rest
Found this old Pharmacy
Medicine back in the old day
After resting , we changed and get ready for the night
Bourbon street at night is lound
Live music in every bar and jazz. We loved it!
Before the night start. We stop by Pat O' Brian . They are serving strong drink since 1933. Don't miss Hurricane (4 shots of rum)
The bar is really cute.
Here is Hurricane and the next to the right is Mint Julep (Bourbon drink.. strong)
Just one drink to start the night
Visit Pat O' Brian. It's 6$ per drink after you return the survenir glass.
We had dinner at Royal House Oster bar
The appetizer is Redfish Beignets with Crystal beurre blanc sauce and cane syrup.
I wish to have oyster!! I missed them. Jorge never like oyster so I didn't feel like order them to my self.
I got Blackened Shrimp & Jambalaya, Jorge got Shrimp Creole. They were amazing.
After dinner, Bar hopping is a must for us
Out Jazz music at Fritzel's European Jazz Pub There is no cover and the show was great. We laugh se hard of their joke.
Too many drinks
OZ bar was fun. That night they had drinks competition between the bartenders.
I voted for that guy in leather gear. lol His drink was good too.
lip sync for your life
Rest my feet after too many bar hopping
So many people that night
All drunk
