throw me some beads, mister!
TO DO LIST – again, probably overly aggressive but here it goes:
1) hob knob with important people at the compete dCMO summit 2011 – i’m especially excited to hear what arianna huffington, editor-in-chief of huffington post, drew patterson, CEO of jetsetter.com & shane steele, VP marketing of twitter have to say about digital innovation
2) eat some completely authentic n’awlins food – beignets at cafe du monde, muffaletta from napoleon house & a spicy bloody mary on bourbon street – ya know the kind they put okra in – YUMMY
3) fortune told in jackson square & visit a voodoo shop (perhaps historic NO voodoo museum) to prick a doll or two – better hope you’re on my good side
4) lafitte’s blacksmith shop & bar which is the oldest bar in the US plus they say it serves the best hurricane in town…we’ll see. a cocktail at the columns just because the porch has great atmosphere
5) old new orleans rum distillery – i love rum! plus, i hear frenchman street (where the distillery is located) is THE place for music
6) neville brothers show at tipitina’s & JAZZ FEST friday – hello Arcade Fire!
AND..catch some beads, baby – LAISSEZ LE BON TEMP ROULER – let the good times roll!!!
Lola, This is off the beaten path, but well worth it for true New Orleans food. Jacques-Imo’s. You will only find locals there. Try the allegator cheesecake. Great Hurricanes. Address is 8328 Oak Street, NOLA 504 861 0886.
thanks lara w. will add it to the list. there may not be enough days for all the great food in the crescent city!
