If your ever in my area, you have to....

We all have things we love that are special to the city or region we live in. What are the foods, entertainment, etc we all have to try to get to if we are ever in your area.

If you are ever in New Orleans you have to:

1. Try a doberge cake(french word and can't get the correct symbols) from Joe Gambino's bakery. One of the only mafia owned establishments that wasn't shut down by the government in the 80's due to money laundering. The lemon is my fav.

Gambino's Bakery

2. Go to cafe du monde and get some coffee and beignets.

3. If you like night life and want a little hole in the wall alternative bar, hit up the Saint in the garden district. Park close to the bar though because it isn't a great area...

4. If you would like an amazing but expensive $30 meal go to K-Pauls.

5. If you want to buy some art, head over to the gallery of light. All their work has a different feel based on the amount of light hitting it.

Gallery of Light

if your ever in the east la area
we could swim at "marano beach"
eat mystery meat from unmarked taco trucks
if you like art we got thi salley that has some great pieces
all the brown weed your lil heart desires

the places you speak of are famous,,,Emeril talks about Cafe Du Monde a lot... Beignet ar what we call Zeppoli hear,,,fried yeast dough with powdered sugar rocks...

Acme oysterhouse was great when I went to New Orleans even though I don't really like oysters those buggers were delicious. All the people there seemed mad cool, but IDK if it's the same because I went before Katrina.

if any of you ever come to north central PA, you should check out

A. the PA grand canyon
B. cherry springs state park, (best place to see the stars on the east coast)
C. Rim Rock in the Allegany Nation Forest.
D. eat...fuck i dunno...deer.
F. go to as many bars in as many little towns as you can. there are some pretty interesting ones ...for instance: the forest house. cabin in the pines. the northwoods. neat places.

if your ever in Boston check out
haymarket square-outside farmer's market
fanuel hall-a huge shopping plaze with food, and street performers
fire and ice- all you can eat grill buffett 20$ a person but well worth it
take a walk at sunset along the esplenad- water side grassy area with music and a great view of boston.
right near the aquarium are the harbor cruis's, for 20$ you get a sunset cruis arround boston, and you see the constitution fire it's cannons.

come smoke me out... and let me cook for you <.<

lol there's not a whole lot to do around here.... the above is prolly about the best thing you could do.

Yup, and K-Pauls is a famous resturant too. They are famous for a reason, because every one should try them. :D

It's mostly the same. People have really dragged out the Katrina thing. Yes, there are still people who aren't completely back on their feet, but for the most part things are back to the way they were...

Crime is still super high post Katrina, but it is mostly drug dealers fighting over turf. The New Orleans dealers who evacuated brought back dealers from Texas. Dealers who rode out the storm or came back sooner took over other peoples turf. So basically you have a cluster fuck of illegal activity and all these morons can do is kill each other over it...

The mayor recently blamed it on rap music... that is laughable.

Rant over.

For the most part, everything is up and running same as before.

So in short, they are likely still serving delicious oysters. The media like dragging out turmoil for as long as possible though. :(
