It is 10 minutes to downtown / 10 minutes to Magazine / Napoleon restaurant corridor - La petite, lillete, saffron etc. Less than 10 to El Pavo Real - better Mexican in town, excellent posole and good drinks.

Desserts are also terrific. Pistachio cheesecake and apple crump are awesome. Some apps are disappointing- sweetbreads, crabclaws and chain like lettuce wraps. Soups and salads are really good and fish dishes excellent. Grilled octopus is best appetizer. Cucumber cocktail is best pre dinner drink.
I think we actually caught him while on the 19th hole and it was pretty apparent at the time. Didn’t understand it then and never will. You don’t hire a top executive of any entity that generates the kind of revenue LSU football does because it looks good on paper.

Or Ms Linda’s Yacamein in the main food area by Jax.
Can’t beat Vaucresson’s hot sausage poboy in Jackson square.
Definitely unique, and fun. Chicken Grande and Cacciatore are my favorites.

Yes - Until they are sentenced they are under the custody of US Marshalls Service. The custody transfer from US Marshalls service to federal bureau of prisons occurs after sentencing. US Marshalls service houses prisoners at Nelson Coleman in St Charles Parish, St Tammany Parish Prison, and St Bernard Parish prison primarily. Women I think might be limited to Nelson Coleman and St Tammany Parish. Neither is a nice place to stay.

re: Review: Evviva, Bywater, Nola

It’s very good. Marcus Jacobs is top notch. Miss Margie’s and his pop-ups at Pal’s on Monday’s. Had a very short stint at The Bell (which kind of like) before opening Eviva. Loved Wilcomb at Herbsaint. Her time at Gianna was not good. Tried to do the food of Lombardy and ended up with too many bland en brodo dishes. Gianna is much better now.

Anyway, the envivia collaboration appears to be working. Been three times since it opened last summer and better each time.
Thomas blocked the punt that ended up in a safety
To have lufu and not saffron Nola is a joke. Lufu is a decent lunch place that’s second best item is the wings. The briyani is not as good as Taj Mahal’s. It also has no ambience(in the old halal guys location) and below average service.
I agree we have more than 39 scholarship players on the roster. However, I’m not sure agree with your assessment. The team has no toughness. LSU has lost its identity. It won’t be easy to restore and won’t happen overnight. Will start with a head coach who is engaged on top of all aspects. The S&C program starts back in January will have to be Junction Boy-esque in terms of rebuilding toughness. I suspect those who got accustomed to Kelly’s hands off approach may not like the new approach and transfer out. It’s a cultural change.

Also lack of dynamic pass rushers hurt. Gooden injury, reliford and butler in addition to Whit’s injury came at worse time. Baker is solid - not great.

Peche and Herbsaint have excellent old fashioneds for restaurants. Bar Tonique is a great value. Sylvain is pretty good and great value at happy hour.
You can get one at Jewel, but try the night tripper instead- an excellent take on an old fashioned.

Not missing much at Il Supremo. Not as good lately/ not in same league as others. The a la vodka pasta is some of the blandest I’ve ever had.

It was coach Pete initially who hated Canada and planted the seed with O that he needed to run him off. Canada did pull rank. Aranda attempted to mediate for a while but it was pointless.

It was against byu in the superdome
This is a great list. For wine shop (not bar) I would add Keife & Co on Carondelet and Howard. They might have tastings for the event. Single ladies of age range you mention, try the Polo Lounge at Windsor Court. The mayor is in France so she won’t be there.
It’s dead everywhere including Georgia and California. It’s why Trump announced tariffs on films produced internationally. Vancouver and Croatia are particularly popular for the big studios.

re: Best Upscale Italian in NOLA

You are absolutely correct Rizzuto’s sucks. Went there recently on a weeknight - red sauce was burnt, thin and cheap tasting. R&O’s has better sauce on its chicken Parmesan poboy. The beet salad I had was one of my worse dishes in recent memory. Had been prepared days in advance and refrigerated. The steens vinagrette was the consistency of slime.
