Holy humidity Batman! We are not friends.
I <3 New Orleans. Even with the humidity. We walked around the French Quarter, ate awesome food and walked through one of the graveyards. Hotels were inexpensive and food was reasonably priced. I enjoyed it despite the humidity, although I have never been so sweaty in public.
I look forward to going back and visiting when the heat has lessened.

This place was *so good* I decided it warranted its own post. I’m still drooling just thinking about.
We ordered the special (chicken and corn bread dressing) and “A Taste of Soul” Platter (Filé Gumbo, Red Beans & Rice, Jambalaya, Greens, Fried Chicken, Catfish Strips, and Bread Pudding.) This was *far more* food than I anticipated. These were not “samples” so much as half orders of everything. Cup of gumbo, cup of red beans & rice, pile of jambalaya, cup of greens, the biggest piece of fried chicken ever, two catfish strips and a huge bread pudding. We should have only ordered that. We ordered the fried chicken livers as an appetizer. We got a *pile* of fried chicken liver.
Also, this place is hella cheap. We got all that plus a beer and lemonade for $46.
If you are ever in New Orleans I would strongly suggest you go. We went back for lunch the next day.
