Spotted Cat Music Club, New Orleans

 

Live music at it's BEST!

When my boyfriend and I went to NOLA for Mardis Gras, a friend told me I HAD to go here. I am SO glad he did! I LOVE this place! One, it's on Frenchman street, which is my favorite area in New Orleans, and I went back every night I was there! Best place for local, live music! GO THERE!

Adding to my Trip Advisor review above, I want to say, that I noticed The Spotted Cat often on the show Treme!  It was great to see it so honored and revered in a show about the people and the music of such a wonderful city!

Praline Connection, Frenchman Street

More than pralines!

Ok, there are so many things to love about this place! One, it's on Frenchman Street! Two, the service is really great! Three, the FOOD! Not necessarily in that order, either! I've been there for dinner and let me tell you, the fried okra is perfect! Last weekend, while walking around Frenchman street, my boyfriend and I had a sweet tooth! We went in and had sweet potato pie, coffee, Bailey's and something call a "shoe soul" That thing, well, I want another one now!!!

House of Blues New Orleans

Perfect concert venue!

Although I LOVE New Orleans, I had yet to go to House of Blues. We went last spring to see my partner's favorite musician, Matisyahu, and I am SO glad we did! We first ate dinner outside on the patio, on a gorgeous spring night, to the super fun sounds of a local blues band, who's name eludes me at the moment, but boy howdy, their sound does not! We then made out way in to the concert venue, and decided to upgrade out tickets to VIP so we could go upstairs. We hung out inside the lounge for about an hour, sipping fabulous cocktails and enjoying the 80s cover band, and people watching. As everyone made their way in to the show, we followed suite. The views from the balcony area and the sound were superb. We had so much fun, and danced so much, security came and asked us if we would like to be close, and guided down a few steps. THAT made out night even MORE special! Can't wait to go back! Will be there for Mardi Gras and again for Matisyahu! YAY!!!!! <3
