I had a whole recap written just now and it got deleted. absolutely furious. I'll rewrite it later tonight. I've had a hell of a day, but at least I know where I can see boobs in this country now.

I guess I need to Google drive it sometime to see what I even like on it besides Galatoire’s at the beginning www.galatoires.com/menus/
I guess an entrance to Pat O’Briens is on Bourbon too. And that’s a good place for a drink. I can’t think of anything else on that street worth a shit besides one or two good boutique hotels.

I'm not too worried about finding things to do it there. If I can have fun in St Louis I can have fun anywhere

Lafitte's is one of my favorite bars in the world.
Old Absinthe House is in Bourbon too I think. We ain’t running into Plant and Page there anymore but it’s super old. I never go on Bourbon and prefer all the other parallel streets and cross streets.
As to Lafittes, it’s just a cool place. You aren’t getting high end cocktails but the 18th Century but super casual ambiance is fire.
The two best corners (smoothest concrete) in the French quarter for roller skating is in front of Lafitte's and the corner in front of Good Friends. I think that's Dauphine St.
Also, Lafitte's is supposedly haunted and if you stare into the fireplace you'll see a face.

I am not arguing that boobs do not exist outside of New Orleans.
Path of Discussion:
murso’s hatred of deep dish pizza leads him and I to fight about Chicago > (for the record: New York/New Haven and most other pizza styles are good. It’s just that tavern style is clearly superior! Sorry if that’s a truth you currently can’t handle.) > Seattle Is Dead and Sang Has Killed It > the anti-Denver coalition comes together again > John Denver > Malort > the pro-Denver defense squad starts to form > after 14 rounds, people start coming for New Orleans for the first time > but a lot of people like New Orleans > the seeds for today’s bonus round get planted > you can see boobs in New Orleans > you can see boobs in Denver > you can see boobs in NYC > you can see boobs in Miami > you can see ass in LA > you can see boobs at Bonnaroo > you can see boobs at Incubus shows > there’s a pro-Denver discussion happening during all of this > you can see boobs on the nature trails in LA > NYC gave ups rap music > but it also gave us every Strokes album after Is This It, so it’s kind of a wash > did you know Red Rocks is in Denver? > you can see dong when garageland rides his bike naked > however, you will not see Druid’s boobs. (Sorry!) > Congo Square gets discussed > we love Nola’s music but hate Jon Batiste (true. Big Freedia should’ve won multiple Grammys by now.) > potentpotables sees boobs on Inforoo > postjack goes on a vision quest with a pedicab driver in Denver > you can see boobs at an Incubus show in New Orleans > you can also see dong there too > you can see boobs in Key West > John Denver, again > why do people vote for NYC every round? > To start shit, obviously > Theo’s not seeing any boobs at all > you can see boobs on the private forums > if you drive two hours away from LA, you end up in LA > if you drive two hours away from Orlando, you’re still in Florida, unfortunately > you drive two hours away from Queens and you’re in the Atlantic Ocean > you drive two hours away from Las Vegas and you’re at the Grand Canyon (why didn’t us pro-Vegas people mention this earlier?) > murso hates Mardi Gras > you can see boobs at Mardi Gras > esteban gives some Nola recs > was La Roux from New Orleans? Because that city is basically bulletproof at this point > Vieux gets mad about the Nola haters (which is understandable. I got mad about the best pizza in the world at 3AM today.) > but in the process makes some pretty easily falsifiable claims about Las Vegas (sorry boo! I love my tourist-heavy cities and gotta stand up for all of them.) > Inforoo Takes Manhattan > ACAB (all Chicago is Best <3) > KPO defends Denver > Is the Denver airport that bad? (Probably not.) > Is it hard to get to various concert venues in other cities besides Denver? (Definitely not.)
Congrats to the 3 people who were able to achieve arousal in Charlotte.
South Carolina: a hotbed of sexual activity > LLL plans a vacation > if you fuck anywhere in the DMV, it’s basically the same thing as having fucked in the capitol building > snowman goes on a vision quest throughout America > Seriously, Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach are practically Sodom and Gomorrah > Don’t discount God’s third least favorite city, Atlanta, either > cincinnasti did NOT fuck in Myrtle Beach > fuck Dallas (not like that though) > At least one person’s gotten laid in Portland, but that’s probably an outlier > putting the “harlot” in “Charlotte” > some people wanted to fuck at Bonnaroo but had to settle for Nashville instead > implied necrophilia > sang may not have travelled much, but wherever he goes, he comes > garageland goes solo > do blowjobs count? (Fingers crossed!) > Decaanter gets closer to us all > Chicago is winning, which feels like a vindication for Liz Phair or something

While it’s certainly not among the best meals I’ve had in New Orleans, I’ve eaten well at Remoulade a couple times.

That's the bar for Arnaud's. I can't remember the last time I ate at Arnaud's. I think they stopped doing lunches after Katrina. My mom and dad both loved that place. Hermes Bar is another one like that - a more casual bar/spot within Antoine's. Antoine's goes back to 1840 and I think is one of the 3 oldest continually run restaurants in the nation. Arnaud's is 1918. So both > 100 years although the bar spaces were installed with the smaller menus about 15 years ago. Arnaud's was always known for it's red remoulade sauce. which I believe was invented there. I hate mayonnaise, but shrimp remoulade is the one thing I can eat a couple of with it. Antoine's was known for inventing Oysters Rockefeller. Oysters Rockefeller have been copied everywhere, but Antoine's is OG. There is literally no spinach among the greens that are piped on top of the oysters to set/bake. Everyone else around the city and the world uses spinach. They say there are 7 types of greens in their mixture but zero spinach. So I guess often imitated and never duplicated. I'm thinking Parsley, Green Onion, Tarragon, celery, watercress and I'm not sure what the other 2 would be.
Those are both classical creole restaurants. You won't find anything contemporary going on in those types of kitchens, but you can be assured that your appetizers and entrees are great. I'd add Broussard's and Galatoire's to Antoine's and Arnaud's for the upscale, French Quarter Creole list. Clancy's in Uptown is another one.

Fun fact Antoine's is the oldest restaurant in New Orleans and the oldest to be continuously-operated by the same family in America.

Arnaud’s was my daughter’s first fine dining experience at 18 months old. I was very impressed with how they went out of their way to keep her supplied with small kid-friendly courses throughout our meal so she never got fussy. (She’s 10 now and would absolutely get fussy if we made her sit through a 2+ hour meal today without a screen in front of her.) At the time, they were touted as the most family-friendly fine dining spot in NOLA, and the title was well-deserved.

Fun fact my Mom went to nursing school in NO and could not afford to eat at Antoine's. Years later she dragged us there as kids and I couldn't read a damn thing on the menu.

Nice. My mom died in '04 so I think a year or two before that was the last time I went. Me and my dad used to go out to eat lunch together on Thursdays, and that was a place he really dug. He was big on their alligator sausage which I do remember being good. You forced me to go look at the menu as Antoine's was the last one of those white-tablecloth Creole places that I ate at. If I was going to Arnaud's today, www.arnaudsrestaurant.com/menus/a-la-carte-dinner-menu/
I think I'm having crab claws provencale, Oysters Bienville (which I fucking love and forgot about), filet au poive and maybe Strawberries Arnaud although that Individual Baked Alaska sounds great too.
Varying anti-Denver posts that make varying degrees of sense to me > We have to save LA because of sang > Say what you will about New Orleans, but they really fucking love parades > tavern style pizza > “Leaving on a Jet Plane” is the saddest song ever written > a pro-LA contingent forms > Greek-style pizza is fine but “Athens” is not a city we can vote for here > Tristan makes the case for Denver > I’m rereading all this and my eyes are kind of glazing over at this point > Fan the fire or face the crowd/California’s burning down > There are a lot of festivals in New Orleans > but who knows what the fuck is going on in Orleans, France > Weather in LA vs Denver > Vieux posts some pictures of some hot women > the weather in NYC gets discussed > hUmIdItY > altitude > It gets cold in Chicago > cdevaney wants you to put on a goddamn coat > but still can’t get over the idea of pizza not being in wedges > can you make friends in Chicago? (Yeah!) > do people in Chicago move to other places? (Right?) > Was New Orleans the birthplace of all American contemporary popular music? (Probably, Lil Wayne is from there after all.) > there’s two arguments happening now, one between whether or not it’s better to be hot or cold OR if New Orleans gave us all music. I’m not recapping all that shit.
