Out and About in NOLA

 New Orleans, LA

We got the NOLA Blues

Iconic Food

This afternoon we walked to Bywater and went to Frady's One Stop for a plate lunch and a sandwich.  It's a popular cheap eats place that was apparently featured on a Netflix show.  It's a tiny place with a daily special.  Donna got the Red Beans and Rice Plate Special and I got a quarter muffuletta.  




Potholes are a BIG DEAL in NOLA.



My quarter Muffuletta 

Josh opted for the whole so he could have leftovers.  Leftovers for days.

Preservation Hall

After an afternoon of relaxing we walked over to Preservation Hall .  We had tickets for an early show.  Preservation Hall is an iconic Jazz Venue that has 3 or 4 shows a night and cranks 100 or so people through a 45 minute set.  It is no frills, you get a bench seat if you pay for it or you stand and there are no bathrooms and no drink service.  It is a very unique experience.  The show was great and it was a fun experience even though it was very different.  On the way we stopped at Leah's Pralines, a confectionary institution here in NOLA.  They make their own Pralines so they are fresh.  Pralines are pecans in a melt of sugar and cream sort of between the sugar and the caramel range.  They were very good.






We had to walk down Bourbon Street so I took a photo of Neon. 



They didn't allow photos inside during the show so this will have to do


That's it for today.  If you missed yesterday's post you can find it here.
