Budsi’s Authentic Thai, New Orleans, LA Report #538

This place is tucked away on a back street in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans. I never would have known it was here, but my daughter has a habit of looking at my restaurant reports, finding a place I’ve never been, and buying me a gift certificate for it for Christmas. One for this…

Marigny Brasserie, New Orleans, LA Report #467

This place is only a couple blocks outside of the French Quarter. The last time I came here was with my daughter, who was in high school at the time. She’s now in her 30’s. That’s how long it’s been. Not sure why I haven’t been here in so long, because we loved the place!…
