Bourbon is great, especially if you've never been to NOLA. There's such a variety of different types of bars and restaurants. It's a very cool scene. When we all come back, y'all who aren't going with 15 rough ridin' kids, don't be ashamed to tell us about your tales from Bourbon and how much fun you had. Do the touristy crap, that's the point. Have a hurricane, have two hand grenades and get them in the plastic cups that look like hand grenades. Go to the Cat's Meow, my favorite bar in the world, and sing some karaoke. Go to one of the cheap walk up restaurants and eat some gator. If it's your thing, go to one of the seeming 10 hustler's strip clubs. Stop in to Krystal late night for a bag of knockoff White Castles, but more importantly for the fuckery that happens. Definitely go up past Bourbon and St. Ann and see a drag show. Do pop into the House of Voodoo.
Don't worry about being a tourist, your in rough ridin' New Orleans, watching your team in the rough ridin' sugar bowl, on rough ridin' new years eve. If you can't enjoy being a sloppy, fun loving, yankee tourist under these circumstances, when can you ever enjoy excess. Live it up gents. Leave the off the beaten path stuff for those of us who can't have a blast on Bourbon, or leave it for the next trip, or the trip after.
The next time I'm in NOLA, for a work convention in '24, I'll definitely be back to my hotel, the Crowne Plaza, right on the corner of Bourbon and Canal, ready for fuckery of my own. Last time I was there I had two, very pretty, sex workers follow me to my room, hoping for a good time. I wasn't into that much fuckery.
New Orleans is one of our greatest cities, enjoy it!
