Definitely don't miss the Cafe du Monde. Eat a beignet for me. I hate to bring up the M word, but the muffalettas at Central Grocery are excellent.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

Stay away from Bourbon Street - you'll hate it. Super tacky sports bar /titttie bar places.
'Cept for Laffite's which is at the end near Bienville, I think. I never remember what streets things are on, only how to get there.
Also if you want to look at pretty shiny things go down to the silversmiths at Toulouse and something or another, just down from the hotel, my friend Cynthia works there and she tells me about all their little pretties (Thought about explaining a story about a silver cow creamer involving my senior paper on Woodehouse, and then thought better and deleted).
ETA-
If you get over by the Convention Center, there a place called Mulates that I like.
Yes!

Also, go to the Cafe du Monde (next to Jackson Square) for beignets and cafe au lait.
I want a beignet very very much now. I hope you're happy with yourself, DX, because there isn't anyplace in Seattle that I know of that I could get one.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Did it involve Aunt Dahlia?

Ginger, is there still a Cafe du Monde in Underground Atlanta?

DX- I'm sure part of the paper did, but Cynthia helped me type it on an old word processor, and it did not like that phrase. Perhaps I'll invite her to the F2F and let her tell the story. She does it better.
Jilli, here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
t copy-pasting like mad
Y'all rock. Just like I knew you would.
Kristin, I'm meeting -t for a drink at the St Louis on Thursday night, so I can definitely check out the Prom space. Is the hospitality suite this year a suite suite, or is it a meeting room? 'Cause I can check that out too if you want.

So now I just need to find someone with a deep fryer who will make them for me. Hmmm ...

I don't think so, DX. However, there's a place called Huey's on Peachtree that makes a beignet that may be as good as the Cafe du Monde's.
