Heh. Yup, Heather, that was my point - one worry that never rears its head in NOLA is good eating.
A quick side-trip on Nilly!2004: Just heard back from Ayelet who, as it turns out, doesn't keep kosher herself. But she recommended Tel Aviv Strictly Kosher Market, Glatt kosher meat, poultry and deli. It's at 2495 Irving, which is about seven minutes by car.
Woot! I can feed Nilly.

Okay. Now I'm starting to swounce.
Wow, Heather, that sounds amazing.
See, to me, those two posts are just lists of stuff. The best part is just being there. You really have to see this stuff in person. You have to walk down the grooved steps at Lafitte's, you have to eat a muffy, you have to see the people and taste the food. You have to be able to hear the 4 or 5 different kinds of music within a block.
It is a really incredible place that would be all that more incredible shared with Buffistas.
I've heard good things about the Maison St. Charles.
Finally got my F2F pictures downloaded from my camera. Turns out it just needed a new battery. They're nothing special, but I thought I'd share them anyway. Here they are.
Oooh, don't forget the Court of Two Sisters, where the food is at least as good as K-Paul's and they have a jazz brunch on the courtyard patio.
Ooh, I've eaten there. Yum-my.
NILLY - I've spoken to several DCistas, and many of us are willing to chip in for a train ticket to Washington from New York (I haven't even heard from everybody!).
I've checked Amtrak, and the student fare (you are a student, yes?) is about $125 ($148 for non student), and I already have that much in "pledges". If you would like to come to DC, your travel and accommodation can be covered, you've been offered several couches, and even an actual room!!
