During those infamous dog days of summer, New Orleanians traditionally retreat over the Lake to enjoy the Northshore…kayaking, boat excursions, sunning on nearby beaches and fishing in the Gulf. Water sports are the main event! Those city bound can always visit Audubon and City Parks or the countryside to relax on the front porch in the cool of the evening. If you are particularly fortunate, you can observe a happy hour in a batture house on the Mississippi Levee and watch the river traffic as the sun sets. Favorite foods always include the delectable Louisiana shrimp, from cocktail to gumbo. It’s hurricane season beginning in June, especially down at Pat O’Brien’s in the French Quarter. So be prepared!
FEAST for the EYES! THE FOOD COURT Paintings of New Orleans Favorite Food and Dining Experiences ….Catch your favorite New Orleans dish or server at the Cafe du Monde! Many of these paintings fit into the “Smalls for the Walls” category, a size which can be placed almost anywhere.
