IFT New Orleans (Part II)


Riverboat Casino

Of course, not all of Adrian's trip was work related. He took a short tour of the City late in the afternoon. Adrian's last visit to New Orleans was during his college days ;) Perhaps, he didn't remember much after the follies of New Year's Eve many years ago. It's not a bad idea to revisit.

Celebrity Homes & Restaurants

Brad Pitt's former home (as we all know, Brangelina ditched New Orleans for France)

The Lalaurie House which is Nicholas Cage's house. By the way, it's haunted. Perhaps, just right for a Ghost Rider.

Renowned voodoo practitioner, Marie Laveau's house

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville

Emeril's Restaurant, Nola

Snippets around New Orleans

The Cornstalk Hotel once accommodated guests such as author Harriet B. Stowe (Uncle Tom's Cabin), Hillary & Bill Clinton, Elvis Presley, etc.

St. Louis Cathedral

Creole House with lots of windows to see the tax collector and avoid him, of course!

Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, which is also New Orleans' oldest bar. Not very fancy, ain't it?!

Louisiana State Museum (also, the Cabildo) where the Louisiana Purchase was signed

Another haunted hotel

Funky Pirate Blues Club

St. Anthony's Garden - love the shadow effect!

Around Bourbon Street

Bourbon Street Striptease Shop

Day scenes...



Night scenes...



Dinner at Coop's Place

Jambalaya Supreme at Coop's (recommended by the buggy guide)

Maybe, I'll get to go to New Orleans one of these days.
