Crazy Whimsy Wacky New Orleans

The architecture and the history of New Orleans and the French Quarter is incredible.

Vieux Carre's Streets are full of galleries, decent caf�and vintage stores, you can walk from block to block and get an array of entertainment, from gypsy punks to statue men, to brass bands to classical violinists. Food in the quarter is expensive, drinks are not. Drinking is cheap and you are allowed to drink on the streets. N'awlins is known for its Hurricane drinks.

NOLA is a sultry, seductive city whose gardens reflect a rich history. Decadent nineteenth-Century buildings and courtyards provide an exquisite backdrop for exotic profligate vegetation. These serve as inspiration for all garden enthusiasts for exotic balcony gardens, or lush French Quarter design to inspire ardent gardeners.

Mardi Gras Beads New Orleans

What comes to your mind when you think of New Orleans' Mardi Gras? For some, it's the traditional fare of extravagant parade floats, exquisite masks, and beautiful beads. For others, the image that comes to mind is that of wild parties and the craziness that is NOLA's Bourbon Street.

Glass beads did not become a New Orleans Mardi Gras staple until the 1880s, after Anglo-American "krewes" had formed to organize the loose-knit festivities. Legend has it that the first parade participant to use beads was a man dressed up as Santa Claus; the ornamental strands were such a hit that other krewes picked up on the ritual. By 1900, when at least 100,000 tourists a year flocked to the Crescent City for Mardi Gras, beaded throws were ubiquitous.

Despite all of the other Big Easy souvenirs, colorful bead necklaces remain the most popular trinket passed out during the Mardi Gras celebration. They are now made with cheaper and safer materials like plastic and aluminum rather than glass. Traditional Mardi Gras beads are purple, green, and gold colors. The purple symbolizes justice; the green represents faith; and the gold signifies power.

Throw me something, mister!

New Orleans Bubba Gump Shrimp Co

Bubba Gump Shrimp: There's no more family-friendly restaurant on Decatur Street in New Orleans' French Quarter for delicious seafood, friendly service and an experience the whole family will enjoy. Bubba Gump Shrimp Co Restaurant & Market is the first and only casual restaurant inspired by the 1994 film Forrest Gump, extending to over more than 30 locations worldwide.

This family friendly restaurant chain themed on Forrest Gump's life, philosophy and love of shrimp, showcases memorabilia and photos from the movie, along with reproductions of script pages, storyboards and costumes. Channeling the irrepressible spirit of Tom Hank's iconic Forrest Gump, NOLA's Bubba Gump Shrimp company pays homage to the movie's Southern decor with a comfortable atmosphere and - of course - lots of movie memorabilia. Wall-sized murals, tables decorated with classic "Gump-isms" and signed photos make The Big Easy's Bubba Gump a fun restaurant for the whole family.

"MAMA ALWAYS SAID LIFE WAS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET."
~ Forrest Gump

A menu full of down-home cooking that Forrest would have loved completes Bubba Gump Shrimp's friendly Louisiana atmosphere.

New Orleans Hot Summer Night

Summer in New Orleans is like winter in Alaska. It traps you inside.
The hot and humid August air will hang on you like a heavy, steamy, wet blanket. Buy when the sun sets, everyone is itchy to get outside.

New Orleans follows the southern European architectural style of placing a patio at the center of a building. Often a plain facade hides a lush garden. A balcony or a patio offers a cool oasis, in all senses of the word, on a hot night. When the sun sets and the streets are quiet, grab a stool and sip a refreshing drink in silence and peace, and you can almost hear the clinking glasses of parched men who sought refuge and a cocktail long before Louisiana became a state.


New Orleans that means food, music, and long sultry, romantic nights, and after dark the night shift of flora comes on duty; especially in older neighborhoods such as Esplanade Ridge, Carrollton, the Garden District, etc with an abundance of night-blooming jasmine. The sweet deliciously scented air can be almost intoxicating.
