I'm on track to win a trip to New Orleans in mid September. I hear the place is awesome.
Anyone been?
I'm looking forward to the food, drink and ghosts. I hear it's a pretty haunted place.

Thank you! Awesome links. I can't wait to go.
I think about the movie Interview With A Vampire when I think of N'Orleans.

lol It is a cool city....I came here from Texas four years ago and decided to move here permanantly! There are other areas that are just as cool to visit....Magazine Street has a bevy of bars/shopping and restaurants with a unique flair.

there is also some great history at the WW2 museum

have fun and touch base so we can see if you had fun!

I haven't yet been, but I'm going soon I was told that Fritzel's Jazz Club is the only club on Bourbon St worth going to if you're into le jazz haute... I fully intend on going in for a listen, but I'd love more recommendation for restaurants ~Mme X~

I picture this city as a big party with restaurants, bars, and music and entertainment every where you look, or walk.
I do like jazz for a change every now and then, and will get my fill for sure. Best part, it's the very end of August so the weather will be great!!

Try Collettes swingers club!
MadameX - respectfully, Bourbon Street is not where you want to be for music. Frenchman Street is where its at. Bourbon Street is a tourist trap. Hope you have fun!
