06. Pardi Gras Street Fest
Saturday, January 19th, 2019
The big event for the day was the street fest. We basically block off a section of Bourbon Street and have a big party in the street all afternoon. I first heard about Mike Serio's Po-Boys because they were on Food Network and their mufaletta beat Bobby Flay's. I tried a po boy the other day, which was awesome. Today I was ready to tackle a mufaletta. It was really good, though I think I prefer the po boy. No matter what, this is definitely one of my favorite places to get a quick meal in NOLA.
After lunch I stocked up on drinks for the street party and headed over. I was mostly paying attention, so again, didn't document much of it. Tony joined me again for this and got to see some of the trop rock artists. The weather was gorgeous - easily shorts and t-shirt weather, which made me really happy since it was single digits and snowing back home.
I went to Pere Antoine for dinner. This was not one one of my favorite meals. It was slow, and the food was so-so - I got a surf and turf po boy and the beef portion was really dry. After a long day out on Bourbon Street and a long time at dinner, I decided just to check in early.
