You're Big and We're Easy

New Orleans Part Two

 

 

Actually the saying above is on the t-shirts of the workers at the RV park relating to all the large RVs they can accommodate there.

 

As we were hot and thirsty on our walkabout we went into a place called Muriel's on the northeast corner of Jackson Square. This turned out to be a really neat place for both food and drink.

 

After checking in by the front door and saying we'd want to eat, we were directed to the bar in the back. Our kind of place. Here is the toast of the day with a pumpkin martini for Jo and a splash of Scotch for me.

 

When our table was ready we ordered and received some really great local tastes. Jo is looking at a bowl of grilled pork loin with red beans and rice. And I have their signature stuffed mirliton with shrimp and Andouille sausage in a creole tomato sauce. This ranks as one of our best meals ever for quality, service and atmosphere; and with two wines came to about $60.

Here's another shot of the entry way showing the detail and décor ... beautiful, quiet respite.

And then walking off the lunch some typical porch decoration.

 

 

Then on the walk back to the RV park the blogger needed a bottle of Scotch so we popped into this grocery store ... I think there was a sign to that effect somewhere. Actually a nicely stocked corner store for the locals far from the tourist stuff ... oh yeah, they had a bottle of Dewar's.
