radiatorhums Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 A friend and I are going to be in New Orleans for 5 nights at the end of next month. We'll be staying in the French Quarter (don't know much about it, he booked the room). Any suggestions for craft beer, vegan food, general sight seeing / tourist stuff and record stores would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcha Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 You will love the record shop sisters in Christ. It’s 100% up your ally. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aquarium was really cool, but I was 10 when I went. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Craft beer? Just drink straight liqour in the street. I ate so much amazing food when I was there, but I couldn't tell you were I got like any of it. Because, well...I was drinking straight liqour in the street. They're kinda silly, but the "haunted" walking tours are fun. It's a cool way to see some shit and hear some local history and murder stories. aopps42 and radiatorhums 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tour guide was a giant dude who used to be a bouncer at hardcore/metal shows. So I would have been confident of my survival odds...assuming I wasn't the first to die.

Ah yeah, I'm familiar with them! I'll make sure to add it to my list. 4 hours ago, Bladewillisisdead said: They're kinda silly, but the "haunted" walking tours are fun.

Courtyard Brewery is really good, but it is down near the WW2 Museum and the Convention Center. Brieux Carre was great as well and is just outside the French Quarter. If you walk east from Jackson Square you pretty much run right into it. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Search 'New Orleans' on the board. There's been several threads started and I always comment. But, meh, I'm too tired. Records: Euclid Records (Bywater neighborhood): largest store in the city. Worth looking at for the volume. Two stories. They have some hard to find stuff. Domino Sound (Marigny neighborhood): a record collector's store. Small but lots of a variety and reasonable priced. Definitely go. Seriously. Sisters in Christ (Uptown, near Audubon Park and Zoo): worth going for punk/hardcore but definitely not the variety that the others offer. Skully'z (French Quarter): smallest shop in the city on Bourbon Street. Scott is the owner and the nicest guy ever. He gets lots of new releases and you might find a gem in the bins. Go if you're nearby. The Mushroom (Uptown by the universities): Doubles as a headshop. Lots of garbage/thrift store records. I've found some gems they overlooked but it's a waste of time a lot of time. Nola Mix Records (Uptown on Magazine near CBD): Lots of great 45's with variety but not much punk/hardcore. Disco Obscura (Uptown off Magazine, near Nola Mix): Boutique shop with mostly reissues. Joey Buttons owns and he's a sweetheart. Peaches (Uptown, Magazine St, up river): Fuck this place. Waste of fucking time. Ha, there you go. I like records. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 beignets and chicory coffee at cafe du monde is a must, hole in the wall places to eat are usually better than the highly advertised tourists spots. Camelia's is a great greasy spoon diner and it's looks like it's still there since I last went 15 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Fuck the line at Cafe du Monde tho. We got beignets at a random little cafe and they were dope as fuck. Are you vegan? Because so am I but my girlfriend and I were like "Fuck it, we're eating seafood this week" and Coops was the fucking shit. Dat Dog had a dope alligator hot dog.

somethingvinyl Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Yeah, Cafe du Monde is overrated. If you're out at like 2 am the line is short, though. Edited July 20, 2018 by somethingvinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one of the better parts of traveling is tracking down new vegan places to eat at. I've got a pretty nice little list going right now.
