Day 33, New Orleans, a street off Bourbon Street, Cornstalk Fence Hotel

The car is fixed? Well we got it back at 6:05 this eve.

We just got back from Brennan's. jerr


Post for Michelle G.
Brennan's, the restaurant where banana's Foster was invented. Among the many we have had, these were exceptional.

















This statue reminds me of the German-Bohemian statue in New Ulm. It shows the immigrants as a family, this in marble.





Commemorates the components of this area, Indian, religious and French.







Café Du Monde, the originator of the beignet, (ben yay) and flavorful chicory flavored coffee. A French donut without a hole and tons of powdered sugar.


YUMMY, says Jerr!!











Flowers reminded me of mom and her love of the petunia of the pink variety.








This hour program was a hoot. The piano player put on a good talk and tickled those keys quickly. The clarinet was also a joy to listen to, he looked caught up in the music beat and maybe something else to make his eye's buggy.















Café Amilie as we were walking by we thought, this looks like a nice place to eat lunch. As it turned out it was the courtyard of the Princess of Monaco court years ago. Shirleens roast beef sandwich on ciabatta bread was great, I had a cup of crawfish gumbo and a muffaletta sandwich, comprosed of ham, provolone, red pepper, green and black olive compoye on toasted ciabatta bread.

We took the St. Charles streetcar and went through the mansion quarters as you can see by the house below.










Shirleen had a filet mignon with a crispy potato wedge mashed potatoes, carrots and a cabernet reduced orange sauce.



I had a filet mignon accompanied byfried bananas in a warm creamy horseradish. Both great, not many better.
