Late flight meant no welcoming committee greeted me with those Mardi Gras Beads. As I walked out of Concourse-B to the Terminal while trying to determine Baggage Claim and my Transport options.

My first steps out of the Airport into NOLA territory was like a muggy warm hug even in the early Morning as the Buses and Cars zoom by me to pickup or dropoff frequent Flyers. I took the few steps to wait at the Stone Bench…More »

7 blocks walk from E2 Airport line to Magazine st wasn't all too bad especially when a local dropped me off while headed to work in the CBD Bank district. It was absolutely too early to check-in but I walked in to see a…More »

My ride on the St. Charles Streetcar came to a halt near Oak st. and if I wanted to travel the rest of the way on S Carrollton ave. it would mean getting onto the Bus instead. From the advice I had at an earlier establishment,…More »

Off the beaten path away from the hustle & bustle of Bourbon st resides Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar. It's easy to find this corner location since you'll see the under-aged wait outside of the shop looking bored and annoyed…More »

At this point, I figured maybe I should have done some more research about this stretch of Magazine st. because there is little to see or be seen. I walked up to the Menu shown outside of Surrey's and as I did, I saw a couple…More »
