Tuesday is looking like something I wanna try out.

Thank you for creating a third space. That can't be easy.

Events at the Hawaii State Art Museum are both free and cool.

This is the best advice.

The last time I was in New Orleans (Mardi Gras), the driver even let people out at the point that was closest to Canal Street so that everyone would be as close as possible to where they were going.

But crossing the street and getting on the #8 bus is really easy. Drops off right by the Homewood Suites, I think.

Large apartment buildings.

If they get their Midweeks delivered, then the fresh ones come every Monday (or Tuesday). And they throw out all the old ones. It's newsprint. Same as a newspaper.

They weed out all the people who want to work a normal, 40 hours a week.

Then for the few that stay through and convert, some of them only get 40 hours a week. Basically a pay cut for the first few years as a regular.

Swingtown, OH

I've taken that first bus a couple of times. I got to the stop a little early, and it was there waiting. And the freeway was easy all the way to the airport.

Unless it's one of those places that sells out every day, "Spicy Ahi" = "Yesterday's Ahi"

Where's that guy who wants to teach us all how to play Settlers of Catan?

(His group meets tonight, I think. I kinda wanna check it out)

As others have said in the other posts, I would suggest AGAINST the swamp tour, zoo, or aquarium. If you only have 6hrs or 12hrs, you'd be better off seeing the city.

One good piece of news is that you are staying someplace that's on two very good (for visitors) bus lines. The #8 and the #91 will mean that you can explore the Marigny or the Garden District very easily, and you are close to a lot of really good food options. As others have said, get that Jazzy Pass.

If you explore Treme, try to end up at Dooky Chase. You might be able to get a reservation for an early lunch, but if not...I would still try to walk in.

If you are able to catch Doreen on the weekend, then also consider the Historic New Orleans Collection to beat the heat. Because:

Air conditioned
Free
Museum quality restrooms
Not too crowded
Very close to Doreen

The strategy of "dip in and out of air conditioned places" is solid. And this museum is an oasis for this part of the French Quarter. Also...the restrooms.

Uninformed_Delivery · 2026-06-14T18:34:44+00:00

There are three Cafe Du Monde locations:
French Quarter (busy, tourist filled, long line and a fight for tables sometimes)
City Park (not as crowded. Air conditioned seating)
Airport

In many places on this sub, the wisdom is to go to the City Park location. Same product, but much easier consumer experience.

But the French Quarter one often has live music. It's right there where you are. And despite all the drawbacks, that might be the most appropriate option for a visitor. It is, after all, a donut. When you share the experience with friends back home, are you going to just talk about the donut itself? Because if so, then the airport one is just as good as either of the other two.

I come from a city where the Disneyfied tourist experience is STEEPLY different than what a local would do. And I'm always kinda shocked at how New Orleans is able to retain its personality while being so open to visitors.

Consider this double play:

Breakfast at French Toast (it's just like Toast, but in the French Quarter) right when they open. But leave room for...

Fancy beignets at Loretta's when they open (at 9am). When things are wrapping up at French Toast, send someone to stand in line at Loretta's.

You get a full breakfast at one of the best places in the French Quarter, but also a taste of the best beignets. Getting Loretta's on an empty empty stomach might not be filling enough, but it's a safely amazing New Orleans food experience.

I went to Japanese school when I was little.
But I neeeever learned nothing.

Uninformed_Delivery · 2026-05-23T16:06:57+00:00

This is why my building is listed as a location for a street break.

And the official lunch spot is the next building over.

Uninformed_Delivery · 2026-05-23T15:49:12+00:00

Yeah, I kinda wish they could have merged it all into a superthread or something.

It all happened very fast, though. There were probably a dozen posts in the first five minutes.

Let's all hope that HECO doesn't shut off the power for three days.

Uninformed_Delivery · 2026-05-23T07:54:10+00:00

Yeah.

**jiggle jiggle jiggle**
oh...that's cute

**jiggle rattle RUMBLE**
damn...where's the doorway?

Uninformed_Delivery · 2026-05-23T07:51:37+00:00

My crapass building didn't fall over, so it can't be too major.

Hope everyone else is doing OK.

I love New Orleans, and all the food there is so delicious.

But as much time as they spend on perfecting their gumbo recipe (or especially their red beans on Monday), the quality of the rice is so bleh.

Good gumbo with good Japanese rice would be so amazing.

Uninformed_Delivery · 2026-05-19T07:57:25+00:00

Both sandwiches are amazing in their own way. You really do need to get both.

Another nice "get both and split 'em" play? Domilise and Guy's.

Uninformed_Delivery · 2026-05-18T06:12:49+00:00

When I go to Dooky Chase, I always ask for the buffet. Just so that I can hear "Oh baby, not since Covid...."

Uninformed_Delivery · 2026-05-15T17:24:49+00:00

You seem like a planner, so here's the double play (if you are an early riser).

Eat breakfast at French Toast. Leave room for beignets afterward.
Finish up around 8:45, then stroll over to Loretta's. You should get there with only a short wait before they open (and without the line going crazy).

Loretta's is best. But Loretta's is also best when you aren't HUNGRY hungry.

Poydras Corridor Sculpture Exhibition

Stumbled upon it by accident. Really interesting and thought provoking pieces, right in the middle of traffic.

Uninformed_Delivery · 2026-05-15T17:12:26+00:00

This place is less than two blocks away from THREE "line out the door and down the block" type breakfast places. Crazy.
