I just got my reservation today for the Royal St. Charles Hotel. I got the Triple AAA discount (still a little pricy) but we had fun last time. We are just a block away from Bourbon and a half mile from Harras. We are going Feb 4th and 5th, leave on the 6th. Anyone else going or been to this hotel?
not me, never again will i go to new orleans, well maybe just never to Tulane University, one semester was more then enough of that place for me...haha ok sorry didnt mean to come off so bitter, its a nice place to visit, i would just never want to live there or go to school there, well enjoy your trip....let me know if you need any good places outside of the French Quarter to go or eat at
Lived in New Orleans for 5 years (all through High School... used to be one of those band kids marching in the Mardi Gras parades that drunks love to throw beads at and yell to "Play a song, dammit!"). Anyways, it's a blast, have fun! Take some good pictures for the BBS...
Here is where I like to go in New Orleans: Food Vincent's (Garden District) - killer Creole Italian food Court of Two Sisters (French Quarter) - great Jazz brunch Pascal's Manale (Uptown) - where BBQ shrimp were invented Cafe Degas - (just outside French Quarter) - Creole bistro food Music Tipitinas (Garden District) - the original and the only one to go to. Be sure and rub the head of the statue of Professor Longhair when you walk in. It's good luck. There is also a cool package store/beer joint on the corner a block away. Rock N Bowl (Metarie) -bowling alley downstairs, blues/zydeco club upstairs. Everybody dances here, even if they are bowling.
New Orleeeans... Home of pirates, drunks, and whores! New Orleeeans... Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores! If you want to go to Hell, you should make that trip to the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp'! New Orleeeans... Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile! New Orleaaans... Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul! New Orleeeans... Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank! New Orleeeans!
Mardi Gras in NO is incredible, you have to go once in your life just for the experience. If I went back I'd bring my own supply of plastic beads, it's amazing how many girls will shed clothing for 5 cent beads. Wear boots, the filth on the streets on Bourbon Street was out of control.
preferably boots that come up to your knees. otherwise be prepared for all types of fluids to be splashed on your jeans...
Let's just say when I get drunk, I lose all my inhibition and do things in public I would never do otherwise.
Public urination is a crime. Chicks can show their boobs, but if you piss in a corner where no one can see you, you're getting a ticket.
The difference is, we want to see chicks' boobs. Whereas nobody wants to see, hear, or smell what you're doing.
