Up&Adam Eatz, New Orleans, LA Report #585

Last Saturday, at about 10:50 AM, we came here to eat. Thinking we beat the lunchtime crowd we were surprised to see about 15 people sitting and standing outside waiting for a table! We ended up going to El Pavo Real. Today we got here at about 10:30 AM and were lucky enough to get…

Messina’s Runway Cafe, New Orleans, LA Report #556

If you’ve flown into New Orleans before you most likely flew into Louis Armstrong International Airport. But since that airport is in the city of Kenner, you actually didn’t fly into New Orleans. However, we do have a small airport here in New Orleans. As you can see on the map in the second picture…

Palmettos On The Bayou, Slidell, LA Report #523

I knew I’d be in Slidell, LA., today, so earlier this week I asked folks in an online food group where I should eat. This was overwhelmingly the suggestion I got. I decided to take their advice. From the outside the place looks like a little shack. But it’s funny. Just like every morning when…

Trenasse, New Orleans, LA Report #499

If you’re walking around the New Orleans Central Business District looking for this restaurant, you won’t find it. You need to be looking for the InterContinental Hotel. It’s located on the first floor of that building. The main entrance to the restaurant (where you have to see the hostess to be seated), is located under…

Ted’s Frostop, New Orleans, LA Report #487

This place is affiliated with the national chain of Frostop restaurants, started in 1926 in Columbus, Ohio. There’s also one in Metairie (Report #376), which is just named “Frostop”. This one is named Ted’s Frostop, so I guess they’re all independently owned and operated. The menu here is also different, so I gave this one…

Coffee &, Marrero, LA Report #478

Marrero is located just south of New Orleans, on the WestBank of the Mississippi River. I live in the part of New Orleans that’s on the Westbank (called Algiers), so it’s not far from my house at all. I’ve seen this place several times, and always thought it was just a little donut shop. Well,…

Abita Springs Cafe, Abita Springs, LA Report #430

It was such a beautiful day here in New Orleans we decided to take the bikes, make the voyage across the Causeway to the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain and do a little bike riding on the Tammany Trace. With my luck when we arrived there it was raining. But it soon stopped and we were…

Bearcat Café, New Orleans, LA Report #328

We’ve tried to get into this place twice on weekends, but it’s so popular there’s always a long wait for a table. In fact, both times we went to High Hat Café, which is right on the corner just south of here, we were actually trying to come here! To finally get a table in…
