Found a new place for after dinner cocktails – Evangeline on Toulouse and N. Murat – it’s in my hood and it wasn’t Pal’s (with it’s smoky weird crowd) and it wasn’t Ralph’s (with it’s smoky Yat crowd). I can’t remember the owner’s name but G and I had run into him at Ralph’s a while back and he told us about his new place. <\/p>\n
I spoke to a guy there who has spent every Christmas in New Orleans for the last twenty something years – he is trying to convince his company to let him be virtual so he can move here.
