New Orleans Photo Tour
Added 2023-11-13 16:47:19 +0000 UTCThank you to all you first-water Author’s Tier subscribers for the plethora of New Orleans recommendations. Lauren and I made use of many of your hot tips, but were forced by morbid curiosity and national obligation to take a late night stroll down Bourbon Street, during which we dodged jets of vomit and conga lines of cockroaches in tiny strands of beads.
I cut too much summertime bait as a child to enjoy most fish-based cuisine, but even the stupidest last-resort restaurant here features excellent seafood. I will contend that the average New Orleanian second grader, roused from deep afternoon slumber, could whip up a velvety wine-and-cream sauce or blackened drumfish.

2023-11-13 20:31:36 +0000 UTC1: is "Blue Monday" by Phat2sday in fact a New Order cover? 2: one of the most wonderful and surreal memories I have of NOLA is walking out of the house where I was staying to find myself directly in the path of an oncoming second line, which was headed in the same general direction as I had intended to travel, so I just followed alongside them for a while. It was lovely until I realized that I was a sort of gentrification-based remora (or "leech" if you prefer) to those fine people.
