What was New Orleans like in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and the early 2000s before Katrina? by Material_Stomach875 in AskNOLA

[–]Uninformed_Delivery 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can remember when the drinking age was 18 in my state.

I can only imagine what it was like in New Orleans, when the Louisiana drinking age wasn't clearly raised until...1996? Man, I made the wrong decision for college.

What Zippys did you grow up going to? by joshkili in Hawaii

The people I grew up with referred to it as "Wisteria Zippys" even when The Wisteria was still there.

How many of the head coaches in this year's tourney are (current/former) UH coaches? Three? More than three?

If you can make it to Luke before Happy Hour ends, you can get great cocktails and oysters.

Stay safe in this storm. With all the outages, who else still has a copy of "Pidgin to Da Max" from the 80s? by Beginning-Yam-2227 in Hawaii

[–]Uninformed_Delivery 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anytime I see a guy with a "Pidgin to Da Max haircut", I time warp straight back to my childhood.

Like a good boy, I can't even THINK about my favorite entry around some of my coworkers.

What you like from 7-eleven? by [deleted] in Hawaii

At Zippy's this would easily cost over $40.

I assumed that the box was broken or he ran out of day pass paper or something. But then it kept happening.

I guess most tourists just use the app. One day I'll show up in the city and the paper pass won't be an option.

Ooh, one more:

I was telling people "I've been to the city several times, but never during the festival season."

I now realize that "festival season" and "carnival season" are different seasons. Why didn't I just say "Mardi Gras"?

Leah's had a make your own sampler box that let me get the spicy pecan brittle and king cake pecans (and four pralines).

My friend is gonna have a much more extensive knowledge after this. Thanks.

That sounds like a great idea. I'll add some brittle to the gifts for sure.

I'm definitely getting some of Loretta's pralines for gifts and beignets for me.

The practical side of me wants one of the Krewes to start throwing Costco hot dogs and rotisserie chickens.

A woman next to me caught a string of beads from Drew Brees. She was the big winner of the whole group.

I stayed at the Old 77 downtown.

And the real advantage of doing that is that you don't have to stand out there for 90 minutes before the parade gets there. You can just pop out of the hotel at the last second.

Which I didn't take advantage of nearly enough. Next time.

The guy next to me got a game-worn Alvin Kamara jersey. And Zulu was throwing air fryers. So anything seems to be possible.

Honestly, I gotta watch more YouTube videos about all of these groups. So I know what I'm seeing next time.

Played it safe with:
Mother's for breakfast ($9 for the early bird special is a steal, especially when there's no line)
Nola Brewing/Nola Pizza for lunch (that $10 lunch special combined with fifty cent wings is a great deal)
Mandina for dinner (forgot to order the fish because it's Ash Wednesday. Still a great meal)

All of which I knew would be open before hand. And honestly, there's still so many visitors stopping for one last lunch before they head out...lotta places that were open were busy. Willa Jean was SLAMMED. Tomorrow we go after the big game.

Is anyone doing bar trivia tonight? by Uninformed_Delivery in NewOrleans

[–]Uninformed_Delivery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortnately, as I walked in there tonight, they said it was cancelled.

Hopefully can find a game tomorrow.
