| During a group trip to New Orleans in 2017 in which we ate in only nice restaurants, we often passed branches of Willie's Chicken Shack. We declared that if there's ever a great airfare to the Big Easy, we were coming back for the chicken! |
 |
| That happened this month when Frontier Airlines offered the trip for $19 each way! So yesterday we took the trip for fried chicken! |
 |
| Downtown New Orleans looking south towards the Mississippi River with mild temperatures in the low 60's. |
 |
| Street cars still run along Canal Street. |
 |
| With an early morning arrival, the first stop of course was Café du Monde! |
 |
| For hot beignets and hot chocolate! |
 |
| Lunch time arrived a few hours later and it was time for Willie's Chicken Shack! |
 |
| With numerous locations around the French Quarter, you're never too far from a Willie's! |
 |
| How was it? Meh. It was ok; not bad. But not worth a trip specifically to get it. |
 |
| So what to do to kill some time in New Orleans? Bourbon Street, of course! |
 |
| The first stop the Courtyard Bar at Café Beignet. |
 |
| Home to numerous statutes of famous musicians. |
 |
| Live band "Steamboat Willie" was playing Dixieland Jazz. |
 |
| My group enjoying some frosty cold ones at the bar! |
 |
| One of the few locations with live music in the afternoon. |
 |
| Bourbon Street was still torn up with construction. |
 |
| A visit to Bourbon Bandstand was next. |
 |
| Live band "Doc Lovett's Louisiana Remedy" was playing Rock and Pop hits. |
 |
| They were actually pretty good but when they didn't know any Calvin Harris tunes, I knew it was time to leave! |
 |
| It was a quick day trip but that's how I roll. A good time was had by all! |
