I love the Elysian Fields Inn It's a little more expensive, but really terrific. It's right off of the highway and the airport shuttle stops right in front. It's a 10 minute walk to Marigny, and a 15 minute walk to the Quarter.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I am certainly partial to people staying Uptown, because that's where I am and the side of town where I think the better restaurants and bars are. The St. Charles streetcar is just up one block from the inns on Prytania.
Uptown forever! Downtown never! (j/k) (kind of.)

It's slightly amazing to me that the Uptown attitude is not just native, but is transferred to the transplants.

Ahahahaha! It's more anti-FQ, really, than anti-rest of downtown.
It's all about the logistics of navigating the city and the fact that lots of residents (regardless of length of life here) think the FQ is not a fun place to hang out, so it becomes a natural barrier.

Oh, sure. Though I do miss O'Flaherty's pub, which was on Toulouse near Decatur, and was an awesome place to hear live Irish music.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Gary and I went to O'Flaherty's to see Beth Patterson one time we were in New Orleans.

Yep, that's where I saw her the first time.

O'Flaherty's isn't there anymore? Although my pub was the Kerry.

No, Katrina killed off O'Flaherty's, though I think they'd had some challenges before that.

Aw, sad. I probably knew that at some point.
