It’s that time of year. The official start (as far as I’m concerned) of the Christmas season! For several years now we’ve drove across the Causeway Bridge to St. Tammany Parish to cut down our own Christmas tree. We decided to stop off in Mandeville, LA., for lunch. If you like cozy little places that… Continue reading Hambone, Mandeville, LA Report #431

I’ve been wanting to try this place for some time. We actually ended up in this neighborhood trying to eat at a different restaurant, but it was closed. According to Google it opened at noon, but they really opened at 4:00 PM. Never trust Google. I should have known better.

All of those places are in the New Orleans metro area and at most a 10 minute drive from the New Orleans CBD. This ones a little further. Covington, Louisiana is on the north… Continue reading The Chimes, Covington, LA #55
