Checking out some new spots
I always enjoy checking out the new restaurants and bars in the city, especially the ones that are owned by smaller groups or individuals. This weekend provided a great opportunity to hit quite a few of the newer spots in the city. Chuck and I started our Friday at Brady’s Wine Warehouse for a beer…

The Storm Before the Storm
Wednesday, July 10, was an interesting day in New Orleans. We woke up to a severe thunderstorm warning so I did my usual morning routine and got ready for work. About 20 minutes before I planned to leave, the thunderstorm started. So I decided to hold off driving my little, low to the ground, car…

A little ATL love
Chuck and I made a last minute decision to hit the ATL for a quick July 4 getaway. The idea was to hopefully see some friends and hit a Braves game. We only accomplished one of those missions, but that’s ok. From walking around my old ‘hood of Midtown and checking out all of the…

Vegas, we did it again
I don’t know why but the more Chuck and I go to Vegas, the more fun we have. And this past weekend was the best so far. Getting a free room never hurts and with that savings we were able to enjoy ourselves at some restaurants we’ve been wanting to check out. As per usual,…

Walking on sunshine
Every day I try to get out and exercise, and living here in New Orleans allows me the opportunity to get outside a lot. And although I have tried to do this in every place I’ve lived, I’ve definitely been more active outdoors the older I’ve gotten. A day walking outdoors, along the Mississippi River…

Festin’ & Golfin’
The final weekend in April is always a busy time in New Orleans. Between JazzFest and the Zurich Classic, the city is full and there are two awesome options to check out. Plus, the NFL Draft is going on and every true New Orleanian is interested not only in who the Saints draft but where…
