Pat O’Brien’s

After a lot of souvenir shopping, we wanted a little bite to tide us over. Lo and behold, Pat O’Briens’s appeared and we went in. We were here about 2 years ago with two of our grown kids so we were pleased to do it again.

We sat in the Courtyard (where food and drinks are served) and looked at the menu. We didn’t want a big meal so opted for the “Share” portion of the menu. Don ordered the alligator Bites with a honey mustard sauce and I ordered the Honey Pecan Shrimp , along with a Glass of white wine and and O’Douls. Our server, Bobbi was kept quite busy in our section and never lost her smile. Wonderful place to sit and relax in.

I did, honest, taste Don’s alligator bite but was glad to eat the shrimp. Don liked his treat and, again, we both win.

To let you know, my glass of wine was the least expensive glass of wine I have consumed in probably years and years. You guessed it, after paying the bill, Don says “at that price you could have had two”. Sure!

Gumbo Restaurant, New Orleans

ThisĀ  morning, because we were too tired to buy groceries last night when we arrived, so we grabbed a taxi and went downtown. We found the Gumbo Restaurant when we got out of the taxi and, because it said they served breakfast all day long, we went in.

After being served our coffee, we ordered our first breakfast here. Don had the Crawdaddy Benedict with a side of fruit and I ordered the Belgian waffle with eggs and crispy bacon. Perfect.

Don’s plate also had spinach and a cooked half onion under the eggs. The crawfish in the sauce on top was really tasty I admit but I have to say, my waffle was good too, so we both won.

The funny thing was, our server Lashondra came back and refilled our coffee cups fromĀ  a large paper cup. Never seen that before, but wondered if any of you have had that. We just giggled, paid the bill and left to get our tickets for tomorrow’s adventure.
