It was delicious. A bit much for one, but... I needed energy since we were about to embark on our bike ride around the city.
We departed from the Marigny towards the French Quarter. We rode on the river walk towards the Aquarium. From there, we found our way to St Charles Ave and followed the streetcar line until we hit Washington. Across from Commander's Palace, we found Lafayette Cemetery.
We resumed our ride and headed to my alma mater, Tulane University. It brought back some really good memories.
While the academic campus looks the same, McAllister Dr has changed drastically in 20 years. Damn... 20 yrs... I'm old.
I had to check out the houses I lived in junior and senior year near Hillary and Freret. Then, I had to show Charlie what America's Diviest Bar looks like from the outside. Nothing could prepare him for Snake and Jake's Christmas Bar.
From there, we rode to the Daiquiri Bar for refreshments.
We cruised to the Levy to stare at the Mighty Mississippi. After, we did a few laps around Audubon Park and took in all of its beauty!
Rode past an old college bar and couldn't resist. The place hasn't changed much.
We worked up an appetite and gave Taceaux Loceaux a try. Good non-traditional tacos.
The next stop was Lula Restaurant Distillery where the service was superb!
While Charlie took off to reconnect with a friend through the streets of the French Quarter, Christian and I waltzed over to St Roch Market. Surprisingly, we found a Malaysian restaurant and I introduced Christian to the deliciousness that is Nasi Lemak.
