New Orleans: Drive By Shots & Photo Walk
Commander Palace is one of the most famous restaurants in NOLA.
Pretty Victorian
For Sale.
Must be an important house, there's a plaque on the fence.
Plantation shutters
In my mind, this is the quintessential New Orleans house.
Squirrel stopped in the middle of the road.
When the drive by DIY tour of the Garden District was completed, we went to meet our friends for lunch at the Riverwalk, a shopping and eating area by the river front. Not wanting to pay so much for parking lots, we drove around looking for metered street parking. We found our spot a few blocks away, giving me the chance to do a photo walk on the way to our lunch.
We parked at the Peter's Street. I took a photo just in case I forgot where I parked.
Love the mural.
Yellow windows
More yellow windows.
Across from the Riverwalk Marketplace is the famous Mulate's, one of the restaurants most locals recommend to visitors. Pity we didn't get to eat there.
