Going to New Orleans in a few weeks... Have any suggestions for fun?

[lasttango]

Great suggestions guys. My lady and I are very appreciative. I'd love to go fishing. I doubt I'll be able to talk her into it, but heh, you never know. Feel free to shoot me that name.

Skip NOLA and go to Houma, maybe even venture down to Galliano and have lunch at Mommie Joes on the bayou!

What dates are you going to be in New Orleans?

 

[lasttango]

Week of the 16th...
Too late to change it ;-) plus, she's never been.
I did stay in Baton Rouge for a month back in the day and travel all over LA and Mississippi.
I enjoyed the South very much. The nicest folks. Best food. Fun.

Lasttango - The April meeting of the New Orleans Pipe Club is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, April 20, 6 - 9 pm. Location is undecided for sure.
That is in the week of the 16th.

There are lots of great places just outside New Orleans that I always have more fun doing. I always think of inner New Orleans as a great place to walk and look at stuff (if there isn't a parade going on), but outside New Orleans is where you get huge piles of great food for cheap in cooler hole in the wall atmospheres. Also, a swamp boat tour of the Savage is worth it. I swam with alligators and got some great close up photographs a few years ago. Once you learn how they only eat once a month and they really aren't all that aggressive, they are more like big dogs. Also, there are lots of places to check out the tobacco fields. I'm always interested in how folks do their agriculture in other places.
Inside New Orleans, go to the Cigar Factory right away and buy as many stogies you can. It helps keep the stink down if you constantly keep one burning. Graveyard tours are great. Food inside the city, isn't what it used to be. Expect to pay way too much for way too little. It is a great place to check out architecture and enjoy a stroll along the river. Cigars, cigars, cigars... Everything is sticky and stanky, ha ha.

lasttango -
The New Orleans Pipe Club meeting is on for the 20th. The current plan is for it to be at Buffalo Wild Wings on Veterans Blvd from 6 - 9 pm. We will be on the patio next to the entrance.
Hope you can make it.
