He's 6-3, 140 lb.  My other son (the bald one) is 6-5, 160.

Wow.  Leanness must run in your genes!  Did you not raise them on Buffalo Pizza, Wings, and Subs???

[Doohicksie]

The two of them together don't weigh too much more than I do.....  ?

If I found a genie bottle and got 3 wishes, they would be:

1.  I could eat anything I want and stay at 6-5, 160.

2.  All the food I ate came from Buffalo.

3.  Don't give a $hit.  Keep your wish.

What is awesome??  Being alive.  Retired.  Good health.  No money worries.  Loving wife.  Sitting on the balcony watching a light rain with a beer posting on Sabrespace. 

You had me going right up until the last one.

New Orleans.  The Big Easy.

I have business here on Monday morning.   MrsNeo and I decided to make a weekend of it, so we flew in yesterday morning.  She’s never been here.  Yesterday was The French Quarter, Frenchmen Street and a Po Boy and Jambalaya, a Satchmo Festival and a visit to the Jazz Museum.  Crawfish omelettes, jazz at breakfast, Arnaud’s for Drum Pontchartrain, Hotel Monteleone and The Carousel Bar for a Sazarac and a Vieux Carré.  Finally, Bourbon Street with me wearing a blazer and MrsNeo in a cocktail dress, grinning, then laughing, as beads came her overdressed way.

Today, a walking tour of the Garden Distric and its homes, flowers, architecture and history.  Then, the mighty Mississippi and the powerful waterfront.   Beignets and Coffee Au Lait at Café Du Monde before dinner at Mr. B’s.

There’s so much time to do things when you're older and not hung over!

If you’re a foodie or a music person, come.  Oh, do!

PS ...  They LOVE their Saints!  Almost a “Bills:Buffalo::Saints:NOLA” feeling, emotionally.

To really experience the food, go to the non-touristy places.

Is that taqueiria still open in the French Quarter? 

Make sure you breakfast at the Ruby Slipper at least once.

Hell yeah Ruby Slipper

[Neo]

Of all the freaky coincidences.  I opened my iPad and logged in to SabreSpace about a minute ago.  At the same time, my food arrived ....  at The Ruby Slipper.  I’d not heard of it.   We just stumbled in after a Garden District tour!   Destiny ...

Not sure about taqueiria.  We may learn, tonight.

We had a great dinner at Commander's Palace if you want to get more bougie (there's a dress code) and enjoy drinking a Sazerac or six. 

[darksabre]

OH! OH OH OH! Go to Cochon Butcher. For the love of god, go. 

[Neo]

OK, OK ...  I’m out of time for this trip!   Business dinner, tonight, meeting tomorrow, and then flying home.   But ...  we will be back!   The history ...

Ruby Slipper and Cochon Butcher are fantastic choices. I'm seeing you are short on time, but you must also visit frenchmen st. The Spotted Cat, cash only!

6 years ago today we landed there for our honeymoon.  I want to go back just for the food.  I wish I could remember the name, but the best meal we had was some random hole in the wall that we would have never found unless the hotel (Omni in the French Quarter) mentioned it.

Whenever I travel for work, I wear my BIlls or Sabres tshirts or hoodies. In Frankfurt Germany I met a family from Buffalo that yelled Go Bills when they saw my hoodie. They invited me to dinner and had a nice evening. Turns out they were from Lancaster not far from where I grew up in Cheektowaga. At the airports in both Amsterdam and Brussels I ran into Buffalo people. Last week I was in Athens for work, I went down to the Plaka district (super touristy, gold shops, markets, right near the Acropolis) I had my OneBuffalo 716 shirt on and I saw a woman poitning at me and the family waived at me with some thumbs up. Traveling home, two people at the airport said Go Bills, one was a stewardess. Buffalo people are every where and not afraid to call it out.

Sounds like you're having a great time.  I lived in NOLA for a few years and hit some of those same spots.  Remember many times walking in the Quarter with a Lucky Dog in one hand and a beer in the other.  Fun times.  Just don't fall for the, "I'll bet I can tell you where you got your shoes" trick!

Laissez les bons temps rouler !

This is basically my adopted son, Wilbroad..... We shared a wonderful moment together today, he found out that I am covering his tuition and that he'll be able to finally go to college next week, he aspires to be an engineer. He told me he was feeling hopeless and that his world was losing meaning until he heard of the news, he has a difficult time smiling, but his joy was so overflowing that we both had tears flowing! This place is heart melting.
