yea, but I figured it was time for him to come back.

Drive 12 miles to Lafayette and check out Blue Moon Saloon. Crazy good time on the back porch with live band every weekend and most week nights also. Lots of other good live music venues in downtown Laf at night.

Hey Darin, a trip to NOLA is not complete without a traditional N'Awlins restaurant experience. Out of the most famous, I personally recommend Galatiore's. Antoine's is overrated. And to your question, Arnaud's always delivers on 'ol New Orleans ambience, attentive service and, most importantly, the food. There's two "gotta haves" -- the souffle potatoes (otherworldly) and the Cafe Brulot (coffee with a floor show). Pompano is great. Turtle Soup is a classic. And the Oysters Bienville are a tradition. Bon Appetit !
