The Big Easy - Day 10
A bit of driving landed us at the basin of the Mississippi River. New Orleans. Nawlins. The Big Easy.
When my sister was here at Tulane, I visited with Tom Quigley. We came as a crew, and nothing could deter us from Bourbon Street. And nothing deterred us today. 
We had gumbo at the Pearl Oyster House, and jambalaya at the renowned Bon Ton Cafe. Both were perfect meals. We had beers on Bourbon Street, Hurricanes at Pat O'Briens, and topless women at the gentlemans clubs. (The Hurricanes were the best of the lot.)
And from there it became the stumblefest that led to this post. Hey, if it happens in New Orleans, it stays in New Orleans...or at least here, it passes into forgotten memory by morning.

It's a link for the Central Grocery that makes one of the most awesome sandwiches in the world, the Muffuletta.
The last time Little David & I were there we ate one there and took one for the plane ride back to NYC. YOU MUST EAT THERE!!!!
Be sure and get to Cafe du Monde.
