NOLA - Café Adelaide

After we left the dogs at the hotel, we went to happy hour at Café Adelaide

Cornfried Catfish Taco 

Shrimp Corn Dog

NOLA - Hotel and Bourbon Street

Once again the La Quinta Inn and Suites cam through! Pet rooms are on the 8th and 9th floors.

The room was a nice and the dogs loved it!

We took them for a walk on Bourbon Street.  They were a bit overwhelmed.  So we took them back to the hotel and went to dinner.

Next:

NOLA - Southern Food and Beverage Museum

After lunch at Toups, we visited the Southern Food and Beverage Museum, 1609 Oretha C. Haley Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70113 | 504-267-7490

This is an interesting museum.  It does not have the luxury of the space  I associate with other museums and galleries.   The offer classes and lectures.  Next visit to NOLA we hope to attend one of these.

There is the Popeye's Chicken and Al Copeland Area:

There is the Piggly Wiggly corner

There are newspaper clippings of interest

A fancy Waffle Iron

This is the Absinthe Bar

This is indicative of the rest of the museum:  closely arranged tableau of loosely associated items.  Because the items are all so familiar, for the most part, this might be confused with a yard sale or an antique store.

Next:  to the hotel!

NEW ORLEANS!! Let's Eat!!

Tonight we went to a great family operated local restaurant: Drago's.  They have great chargrilled oysters.
