How many Buckeye Fans have been to New Orleans

I've been there a couple of times. I have enjoyed myself greatly every time. I've done some touristy stuff, haunted history tour, graveyard tour, etc and some not so touristy stuff. Both times were LONG before Katrina. When OCBF and I get around to actually having a honeymoon, we have planned on visiting N.O. and are happy to hear how well the rebuilding seems to be going.

Red Tide & Oysters would be one screw up that can happen. :wink2:

Seriously though, been down to New Orleans many different times - it helped that a couple we knew lived down there. Also, it is (was might be better) a favorite location for technical / trade shows. At least five of my ten or more visits would be for that putative purpose.

Aside from one night of excrutiating sickness (those damned Oysters) I always had a grand time in and around New Orleans. Envious of those who are getting a chance to go I am.

i'm a disgrace to my fellow cajuns.
i don't touch oysters or shrimp.
which that may be why i stay healthy.
:wink2:

i'm from louisiana and make the trip to new orleans quite often, but i couldn't begin to tell you every place i ate at.
Mulate's is pretty good.

Been there many times over the years, most recently during the clean up two years back.

I have a love hate relationship with the town. It can be beautiful and has a wonderful unique history, but it can also be filthy, corrupt and crime ridden.

It's an odd mix of the best and absolute worst at the same time...


That being said I do my pre-lent drunken revelries in Recife these days. :)

I was there when I was a young then returned shortly after Katrina hit for work. We stayed in the French Qtr. Walking around was a bit eerie in the early morning especially. We tried to find some breakfast before driving up to the Red Stick. Most restaurants and bars were closed but we found a nice little place on a side street with fantastic fare. The only bar with a good crowd was Fritzells (sp?) where a great band was playing. Town was very sad. Hope it's starting to pick up again.
