What I learned in the Big Easy

After spending a couple of days working in Baton Rouge, I took an evening off and headed down to New Orleans to spend some time with the one, the only, WWJCD. We haven't seen each other in years so we thought it would be a nice catch up. Here's what I learned, found out about New Orleans:

• Hurricane's are much better poured at Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans. And no Dr. Noisewater, I did not get punched in the face.
  
• GW Fins is good food -- the lobster pot stickers were one of the best things I've ever had and I really don't like Lobster
  
• The Cabaret Bars are full of Russians
  
• Bourbon street is a lot more fun when you have a hurricane in hand
  
• We saw members of the Soprano's cast in a swanky hotel
  
• There is actually a bar that goes around in a circle so your view is "constantly changing"
• We saw a wedding party with 28 bridesmaids -- 28 ... that's 56 people who are going to hound you about wedding gifts and judge you when you get divorced
  
• The Hilton Riverside is like Gatlinburg -- somewhere you should go once and then never go there again
• I've never had success at a Harrah's gambling
  
• 3 for 1 drinks at Cat's Meow might be on one of the greatest things ever
  
• And most importantly -- New Orleans is good once a year. Once you turn 30, adults should consider not returning because the hangover is painful, expensive and Charleston is a lot closer.
