not MY mama’s…

Sadly, I cannot recommend the peanut butter and bacon burger at Yo Mama’s. If they got a better bun, less peanut butter and more finesse on getting people’s cooking time right or even getting it close, I could change my mind. But why would they care about one or two or even four local people’s point of view.
They are, in tourist terms, in the catbird seat.
Bartenders are excellent. Tequila list looks good too. Bondage stuff is weird.

The official cheap drinks/good bathrooms/bookstore map on its way…

Thank you research team, Jennifer, Greg and Larry.

I wondered if she would change this…

I had a feeling that KGP (City Council for the FQ) was going to allow solar panels. Look-if you want to get picky about it, then take the Victorian bric brac off and lose the indoor bathrooms and kitchens! Solar panels should be taken seriously, even by those French Quarter residents who think charm comes from roofing materials. Push or pull those huffy residents screaming all of the way to the 21st century whenever possible and keep our old city vibrant rather than becoming a total anachronism no one can afford to live in.
