HI Everyone,
Getting closer! Can begin to hear the Brass Bands on Frenchman Street. Just wanted to make a few suggestions for Wednesday or Thursday for those coming Wednesday or Thursday.
1. I do think it is nice to have a car. Can tool around, and parking is easy.
2. Uptown day: They have beautiful mansions in the uptown garden district, near Tulane, Audubon Park. Go down St. Charles if you have a car, or take a street car up St. Charles, this is the street where most of the big Mardi Gras parades go, and you can see errant beads is trees, power lines, etc. You can find info on New Orleans transportation here. Going back you might take Magazine street to explore all the little shops, etc. Can get great oysters at Casamento's on Magazine around Napoleon Street.
As you head back downtown (French Quarter and the Marigny where we are) stop at Luke's, where they have a great happy hour from 3 to 6pm. They have 1/2 price on oysters (50 cents!) beer , cocktails, and wine. They also have great hamburgers with fries if you are really hungry.
3. Another Uptown destination is on the Mississippi at the far river end of Audubon Park. Lay on the grass, count the barges moving down the Missisippi river, relax.
Well that 's is for now.
Chief Howie
This all makes me want to arrive a week early!
