We started our day eating at Eat New Orleans. It was a walking distance from our hotel. (everything in the French Quarter is walking distance from us) There is free wifi in our hotel room. We checked out the menu online before we went there. We waited for about 20 mins to get seated. We shared 4 dishes: crawfish pie, eggs cochon ( kinda like an eggs benedict but with pullled pork), catfish dauphine (kinda like eggs benedict but with catfish) and breakfast trio ( grillades, shrimp and grits, eggs and biscuit).
I like the crawfish pie the best. It was warm and comforting. It reminded me of lasagna: melting cheese on the top and a warm stewy filling. There were three tables that got sat after us and ordered after us. They got their food before us. We waited 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We were hungry and pissed off. Dont go there. Service sucks.
After breakfast, we went to our first tourist attraction: Spring Fiesta House. It is a house from the 1800's. It was really neat to see how people celebrated christmas in the 1800's.
We finally took public transportation. We took the streetcar down to the Riverwalk ( a pier with shops and restaurants). It was really neat to see the shops.
After walking around for a few hours, we went to eat at Mothers. it was a recommendation from a few friends. It was like a take out restaurant. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. The best item i ate there was the bread pudding. It was nice and warm.
It was back to the hotel for some rest and relaxation before we went to celebrated the new year. We went to the Riverwalk again. This time to watch the fireworks. It was on 15 mins. We then walked on Bourbon St to get back to our hotel. It was more of a zoo then the other days.
Time to call it a night. Have to start our day early tomorrow.
