[QUOTE="IEEEWreck, post: 74637, member: 617"] NOLA is an incredible city, maybe my favorite in the US. The culture of one of the oldest cities in the new world is readily apparent, but at the same time people walking down the street look each other in the eye and exchange greetings. I've never encountered so many friendly people genuinely proud of their city. I went there on my honeymoon just a month and a half ago, and once we made it clear we were interested in the real NOLA and not Bourbon street tourist crap everyone was really nice and shared their favorite things. Heck, a pharmacist at the CVS we went to for my wife's allergy medicine took 20 mins to lay out the best 3 options in like eight categories of things. I'd add that any of ya'll southerners really ought to try the creole food. It's incredibly familiar, but different and wonderful. An example: crowder peas stewed with okra as, I think, a thickening agent. I'd suggest finding the praline connection. Get the meatloaf- it's like meatloaf and a bowl of gumbo all at the same time. That place also has amazing pralines, which you should be eating a lot of. Tujague's is a really awesome, 100 year old restaurant right off Jackson Square. Go there because it's beautiful and because the beef with horseradish is both not what you'd think and really, really good. Also I'd strongly encourage you to check out Frenchman street. Most places there aren't super strict Jazz like you'll get at preservation hall, but it is all really good and some of it's pretty darn interesting. For what it's worth, I had a supremely wonderful experience at Antoine's. New Orleans has the same culture of a cosmopolitan South that Atlanta (at our best, at least) does. I think any Tech man or woman will find the place very comfortable. [/QUOTE]
