re: NOLA drink checklist

There is literally nothing wrong with Carousel. In fact, I'd say it's an awesome place for a visitor. Is it where I go for a cocktail that will change my life? Nah. But in terms of quality, atmosphere, and experience it has to be appreciated. I'm not going there for a great cocktail on a Wednesday night, but in terms of letting someone from out of town experience something decidedly different, I feel like it's a solid stop.
