2014 Trip - Day 4 - October 6

We started our day once again a Wink's Bakery, where we split a breakfast sandwich and an order of buttermilk drops. What a great place and everyone that works there seems to be really nice also.With a couple of coffees, our bill was 12.00.

After some roaming around the French Quarter, we decided to head over to Dragos for some chargrilled oysters, the first dozen was so good, we ordered a second dozen. Even though this was suppose to be a light lunch, we found that we were pretty full by the end of the second batch. With a couple of sodas, our bill was 50.00 pre tip.

After some more roaming about the French Quarter and resting some at the apartment, we decided just to split a club sandwich and pick up a couple of pieces of cake from The Quartermaster (sometimes referred to as The Nellie Deli), with a couple of sodas our bill was 18.00.

2012n Trip - Day 13 - October 15

We left as early as we could to go to Sam's in Metarie to get my flat fixed. After that we hit a few thrift stores and when lunch time came we went back to Crabby Jack's for another fried green tomato/shrimp remoulade po boy. There was a mix up with my order and they thought I only wanted fried green tomatos & shrimp as a side, so they remade it as a po boy and only charged us the side price, so with two drinks our bill was only $11.00.

Speaking of thrift stores, only in New Orleans will you see a member of the world famous Preservation Hall Jazz Band walking around in one carrying a child's rocking horse.

We at supper at Mona Lisa - as usual, two side salads and a garlic bread pizza - our tab was $21.00. We picked up a couple of pieces of cake for a late snack at The Quartermaster, which sort of made the day come to a circle, since we started the day at Sam's and The Quartermaster buys their cakes from Sam's.

2012 Trip - Day 9 - October 11

There's not much to report today, since I was stuck inside with a twisted ankle. I had 1/2 of a croissant left from Haydel's. Peggy caught up on the washing. We got lunch across the street at The Quartermaster, also referred to as the Nelly Deli. They make a great triple decker club and with a couple of pieces of cake, our bill was $14.00.

My ankle got a little bit better and we ventured out for supper and found flyers for Cosimo's on Burgundy. Since they delivered we decided to order from them. This was probably a mistake, since the burger was tasteless, although the chili cheese dog was pretty good. The two meals cost $15.00. Guess I should have just gotten something else from The Quartermaster....Live and Learn.

Before we came back to the room, we decided to walk by the car and found that it has a flat tire....first I'm crippled and now the car gets crippled!!
