I much prefer Magazine Street / Garden District to Bourbon St, etc. So many good restaurants in that area, but my personal favorite is Peche. Thank me later. 😋
Coming to you from NOLA before check-out after 4 nights. Spent all 4 evenings at least part of the time at Fritzel's Jazz Club, the oldest in NO, 700 block of Bourbon. Every evening group of 4 or 5 were excellent -- piano, trumpet, clarinet, stand-up bass, and drums. Same drummer all 4 nights. Music starts about 1pm with younger groups. Still good music, just not the same as nights. No cover, just buy drinks and tip at end of each 45 minute set.
Old NOLA Cookery on Bourbon and Creole House on Canal are my tops, but I almost always get etouffee. Friend goes for jambalaya and gumbo. Across from Creole House is Sazerac House which has a very nice tour for whiskey and rye lovers. Thumbs down on Cafe Beignet for beignets, always choose Cafe Du Monde at Jackson Square. Don't miss NOLA if driving in the area.
They wouldn’t make the Lions-Pats game the Germany game, would they?
Fair question. Patriots are also have marketing rights in Germany, so maybe that's in play. For Lions fans, I hope not.
And they did it! And they also kinda jammed up the Miami plans by putting it the week before.
Check out the parks if you catch nice weather in Buffalo. (It’s free.) Designed by Olmsted, (he also did Central Park, NYC) they are a highlight.
Delaware Park is adjacent to and leads up to the art museum and has beautiful historic homes lining it. Can’t beat it on a sunny day.
Also, Frank Lloyd Wright has a couple of museum homes in Buffalo. Worth seeing (not free). Like Detroit, Buffalo was the thing in its day.
Opinions shared on many topics makes for a good post. Thanks.
Would you care to expound on your love of NOLA? Best places to eat see, things to do, besides café du monde and Commander's palace

Love the Mail Bag Posts!
I’m hopeful Keanaaina can crack the roster at some point this season, perhaps that’s wishful thinking on my part though.
You are the man, Justin.
