Fun Night with Old & New Friends

 

After an awesome late lunch at The Delachaise, J & I headed out late yesterday afternoon to meet friends in the French Quarter. The French Quarter was filled with Halloween revelers and Madonna concert-goers. The Quarter was certainly buzzing!

First stop- Swizzle Stix bar at the Loew’s Hotel

Swizzle Stix is one of my favorite bars in the city. We even ran into comedienne Wanda Sykes who is in town for a show today.

Second stop- World Famous Bourbon Street

We ran into cousin Laurie and many friends from Thibodaux. It was great to see and catch up with “old” faces and friends. Gotta love those Thibodaux peeps!

Sixth stop-Oz

Believe it or not, this is the same place J & I met in 1998. We waited for an out of town friend for a while but never ran into him. Oh well, we tried. But we did run into several other characters.

Last stop- The Polo Lounge at Windsor Court

This swanky lounge is the perfect way to wrap up a perfect night. We listened to some jazz.

Finally, we jumped into a taxi and were home safely. I am feeling the “fun” this morning. Why, oh why can I not sleep? Sorry for some blurry pics as I was using my iPhone.

French Quarter fun, y’all!

  5. I flip a coin for where the best Halloween fun is...
    New York or New Orleans
    Seems like you had yourself a halloween weekend pub crawl! Thanks for letting us in on it :)
