Was going to post this earlier but never came around to it.

Back during Wrestlemaina me and a couple of friends headed to New Orleans. It was a last minute thing so we didn't stay long.

The friend that bought the tickets only bought two for the pre-event. While that was going on I walked around 'Nola. With a little help from posters from here so I knew where I was.

I hit up a place called Manning's for breakfast then went over to the casino. Finally made way to Bourbon Street where there was nothing but bars and strip clubs.

Went to a few places and tried one of those Hand Grenades. I didn't get to spend much time down there but it was awesome.

I definitely will be returning.

TL:DR version- 'Nola was great

The general consensus here is it's an awesome place to visit but shitty place to live

You did pretty much the shittiest things in New Orleans and still love it. That's how awesome this city is.

You went to Manning's and came away with a positive impression? As long as you had fun, I guess

I didn't gain a true appreciation for New Orleans until I knew someone with a house down there. Previously I thought it was a fricking shithole because all I did was stay in the quarter. Now I have my favorite breakfast places, sandwich shops, restaurants, etc. It's a great city.

You should try and do some stuff that doesn't suck arse next time you're in New Orleans.

New Orleans greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness: No one give a frick. People might pretend every once in a while to give a fleeting frick, but they always fall back in to the frickless rhythm. It's a give and take. Love/Hate. Pick your saying.

I love going to NOLA for a couple of nights of partying. Don't want to live there, but been about 20 times and never not had a good time.
