Operation: No Quarter/CBD was a bit of a flop as, outside of a sojourn to our potential cake maker in the Marigny, we stayed well within familiar confines. The gang finally all converged together at Herbsaint with Melle and D-Nice being shocked beyond belief that jbrotherlove was in town too. That was a scene that Tiffany, Michelle, B, and I had experienced the day before but had to keep quiet.
#secrets!
The rest of the day was filled with drinks, food, and constant laughter. The 7 of us were boisterous and joyful and probably obnoxious at every destination, culminating with our dinner at La Boca on Fulton. We arrived early only to be greeted by the host, Orestes,who made us anxious with his helpful suggestions...to go somewhere else. He legitimately was trying to be helpful but it came across as dismissive, at least to our inebriated ears. We did eventually return and had a helluva steak dinner to end our night and a wonderful time.
And all of this was before 11pm.
Will we do it all over again today? My wallet and my digestive track surely hopes not.
But this is New Orleans.
