Oh, New Orleans, you are a wonderful town! And as a foodie, I must mention some great spots we ate at. For the first time I stayed in the arts district, this gave us access to walking to different areas of the city I hadn't explored before. For starters, sis + fam arrived before us so they got to eat breakfast at Surrey's Cafe and Juice Bar, which they relayed the info about. And of course we had to go.

The place is small and eclectic. We waited a cool 20 minutes, but that was on a weekday, it does get thick. We all got dishes and shared; I tried eggs, potatoes, french toast, coffee...and who know's what else?! It was however, delicious. A yummy breakfast spot. photo sourceFor details click here>>> Surrey's Cafe and Juice Bar
To close off our trip we headed to Cochon for dinner. I noticed this restaurant as we were walking to some club that it was in the cut. I suspect Cochon was closed that night because I didn't really see anyone, but the night we went, maaan, we waited atleast an hour. When we got called in, we were seated in a large table near the back. The restaurant was beautiful, simple, with wood tables and some paintings. Very urban farmer-ish. Best way I could describe it. I wouldn't be surprised if this was at some point a warehouse. The menu had a variety of stuff, but none was chicken. As you would guess pork is the main thing here, which I don't eat. They did have gator though! But I didn't go for that neither. I opted for some side dishes. I found the cucumbers and herb to be particularly delicious. We also had dessert, vino, but most importantly a lovely experience.
