Jazz Fest
Forgive me if I am a little distracted today but we leave for Jazz Fest in New Orleans tomorrow and I am so excited I can’t focus! I’m looking forward to soaking up the New Orleans vibe, hearing some funky beats and gobbling up some tasty treats!
Things I want to see, eat and hear in no particular order:
Stevie Wonder, Crawfish Monica, Kermit Ruffins, Beignets, Po’boys, Muffuletta Sandwich, John Butler Trio, The Gospel Tent and maybe this guy! If you have any suggestions for a New Orleans newbie please comment!
(thanks to photographer Monica L. Shulman for letting me use your photo’s!)

You’ve got to go to Port of Call on 838 Esplanade - the edge of the French Quarter. Its a local hangout. The place is a bit of a dive, but they have the best burgers, baked potatoes (no fries) and specialty drinks.

Awesome thanks! We’re staying in the French Quarter and I’m all about the dive hangouts!
