When we first arrived in New Orleans, our first stop was lunch. We had just started walking down a street and this restaurant Johnny's Po-Boys was busy so we thought we would check it out. We ordered one shrimp po-boy and it was huge along with Jambalaya The po-boy was really good, and the shrimp was fried but the breading was different, kind of light.
In front is Jackson square the large park in the city with St Louis Cathedral behind. Jackson square has a lot of activity and they were getting a stage ready for the super bowel On the right hand side and between the square and the cathedral it is only a walking mall.
This is one of many street performers on the side of Jackson square. She is a mime holding a picture frame.
Inside the St Louis Cathedral the Louisiana philharmonic orchestra was practicing for a concert that evening. We stayed for a portion and listened, there was a women who sung opera beautifully.
This is the famous cafe that serves beignets (french doughnut) and coffee (no hot tea). People can sit down at a table and order or stand in line for carry out. The picture below Matt is standing in the line for beignets. Left of the picture the servers sit on chairs waiting for customers This cafe like most in this area has two sides open with no walls, due to the warm climate.
More music street performers.
Beignets.
We decided they are like small light funnel cakes with lots of powdered sugar.
Went through the French Market which is a collection of small food stands and people selling souvenirs.
