A pint with our walk. Of course!

In search of sustenance, we finally found a bar. Food was great and beer was even better. Also, they had great home-grown artwork around of celebrities. Definitely seemed like the local hang out and everyone was REALLY nice.

yeah, I could see us coming here again

Frenchmen - Day

So we never really thought we found Frenchman. We had to ask to make sure we were in the right place. Not too much to look at during the day. Not busy, quiet, short street. Good murals and you could tell it had a meaning for later. 

Stopped in at 13. Open air bar, was like a garage with the doors wide open. It was a beautifully sunny day some shade and a breeze and a drink. I was sold on the special sign though - frozen Irish coffee - how can you pass that up? 

MmmmMMM MMM!

There is a pelican in this picture!

One for the bar, one for the road, grabbed my second Irish coffee, and we were off again.

Chick chick chickkkken!

Hey Bulldog!

Someone told us this would still be open...

Headed into teh Bulldog. Full on Halloween everywhere. Granted New Orleans does Halloween right and over the top. A woman next to me was trying to buy the prop of a serial killers tools to wear as a corset. Hmmm. 

In the meantime, we were tasting beer after beer after beer. We had a million little plastic shot cups surrounding us on the bar. I asked the bartenders if they did flights, and they said no, but they let us try everything! and they had tons on tap, so we had lots to choose from. You should have seen the mess. I don't even know what we settled on in the end. Found some great locals to talk to. One guy told us all about the restaurant scene, Tyler and him talked shop about the restaurant biz. He recommended Coop's to us, which backed up Rachel's suggestion. Talked about the levees and the damage and what part of town was what. he mentioned that he was only about 5'8", so if he could see over the levees, they probably weren't as high as the town gov't said they were. Bartenders were awesome. They said that every Tuesday, they had a special beer on tap and gave away beer glasses. I said - so, if it were Tuesday, which glasses would you be giving away? Since we are not going to be here.He didn't quite get it until Tyler said, So what she is saying is what can she walk away with? 

He got it, and was kind enough to go look, and brought two glasses back to give us! What niceness! I don't know what else he had, but these seemed like the best of the lot, so I'm super excited to add them to the stash. Will have to take pics and update this. 

Awesome chalkboards. Would like to see sans severed head. 

Complete efficiency.

Ha, I found these hilarious. Sorry if it's just me. Nope, not sorry. So funny!

Hey Bulldog! Gimme some money!
