We ate at some great spots, although not as 'highbrow' overall as we have in the past... with Bam-Bam, it's not quite as easy...but he did great pretty much everywhere we went. We hit Acme Oyster House (if ya dig oysters, it's the place to go - I'm not into 'raw' ones, but they do 'chargrilled' ones which are awesome!), Court of Two Sisters (older buffet style...great 'cross-section' of New Orleans culinary styles), and Deanie's Seafood, also a great place.
There were a few Gingery moments during the trip... first off, I spotted an old sign on the side of a building which read:
Another neat moment was as we were just about to leave out - we made our last 'run through', picking up a few last 'souvenirs' for folks back home, a dude was playing guitar out by Cafe Du Monde (the beignet (doughnut) place), and I was waiting outside a store a bit down the way, but well within earshot... and what song does he start to strum, but 'Night and Day'... so as we walked by, I dropped a buck in his pot and thanked him for playing it, cause it reminded me of Ginger Rogers... that probably didn't mean as much to him as the $$$, but... still a neat deal.
...and speaking of 'you-know-who' (who ELSE?), I am wanting to get a few 'general' posts cooking soon...of course the 'SOM' HueyTreatment' is underway, and will hopefully be out this weekend, but...there's been some other 'general topics' I've been wanting to crank out on posts as well... so stay tuned.
Hope y'all's summer is going well!
Keep It Gingery!

Still jealous lol.....
ReplyDeleteGlad that you guys had a lot of fun! A lot of the food places sound great, and that Oyster place sounds good(I love oysters!).
And awesome to know some gingery things went on. I would've done the same with taking a pic of that Ginger sign. :P
And that's so neat about the guy playing the song, and I would do the same with that!
Can't wait for the 'HueyTreatment' of the Star of Midnight review, and other posts you have in store!!!
KIG
you'll make it there one day... it's a unique place, to be sure...
ReplyDeleteGetting there on the review... but wanting to do a few other things as well... hey! I've picked up 3 followers in the past few days...awesome! Weird how it's 'stagnant' for a few months, then you get several folks at once...maybe the facebook connection is working...
KIG, GF!
