New Orleans In Pictures

OK, it wasn’t balmy. And it turned out that this was Wrestlemania weekend in NOLA, which meant the crowd was even stranger than usual. Still, it was New Orleans. And I'm still here.

“Backspace," my kinda restaurant. 

Street signs.

If this website doesn’t work out my next gig will be as a New Orleans street poet.

Lil Wayne amid a sea of paintings in the Hotel Pontchartrain. Artist is Ashley Longshore.

Midnight beignets at Cafe du Monde. Yes, I ate three. Don't judge.

No matter what you do on Saturday night, you should find a pew on Sunday morning. At least that’s what my daddy always told me. I found mine at the Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France. 

Isn't she adorable? My New Orleans-based webmaster, Carlie, who also happens to be a street-smart tour guide.

Red shoes go everywhere, but they like New Orleans the best.

More news from NOLA tomorrow.
