Spoiler alert!
When you work in the restaurant world you A) work a lot. B) sleep a lot. C) do not eat a lot.
This leaves little time for exploring/eating your way through a new city, taking pictures of said city and/or blogging about said city for all interested parties back home.
So I apologize, said parties, for the lack of recent Nola documentation. With the exception of strong, black coffee and tasting food on the line at work, I have not had much room for anything other than the aforementioned A, B and C.
I have managed to do some abbreviated exploring close to home on my days off! Highlights include:
Cochon and Cochon Butcher. More on that later…a certain housemate of mine promised to divulge the culinary dreamery of those two.
Rue de la Course coffee shop. I ventured over into the Carrolton neighborhood and sat at this delightful spot for four hours catching up on phone calls and sipping black coffee. They had a great sandwich and dessert menu too, as well as free wifi. Sitting outside in the sunshine with a cup o’ joe in January doesn’t get any better.
