a full stomach & a happy heart. that pretty much sums up our wonderful vacay in new orleans. so grateful to have my sister & my benny boo & my sweet husband all in one wonderful place.
new orleans is full of amazing craft cocktail bars. impressive bartenders, ingredients of which you've never heard, & art & science together in one beverage. we loved it. bellocq was first up.
this super swanky hotel bar captures the essence of the pre-prohibition time. cobblers {classic drinks with fresh seasonal fruit & crushed ice}, fancy cocktails, & great spirits.
julie really wanted to check out the historic cemeteries in nola; however, we were really bad at planning ahead on this one. so our monday afternoon consisted of walking around outside of the cemetery. but it was still quite impressive.

this is totally legal, by the way.}
oh! we also got the chance to thunder up in the big easy! #wearethunder.
we took julie & ben to the oldest bar in the us, lafitte's! delicious hurricanes & a super old, historic bar. right up our alley.
& our favorite bar in new orleans, bar tonique. this place is absolutely fantastic. it's rustic & historic & classic. with original brick walls, chalkboard menus, & an amazing bartender, this was a true treat. we went twice. & had we been there longer, we would've gone many more times. it was so fun to sit at the bar, chat about the delicious drinks, & watch the bartender with all of his concoctions. a treat.

of course we stopped by the carousel bar at hotel monteleone, my first car's namesake.
a stop at the musical legends park in the french quarter rounded out our trip. celebration cigars for the boys & a beautiful evening for all.
love love,
