Suggestions for a New Orleans Weekend Trip
 

I've got the travelling itch. Haven't been anywhere in a few months and I'm
ready to hit the road.
I've never been to New Orleans and have thought about making a short
excursion there. Of course New Orleans is famous for it's food among other
things. What restaraunts would you recommend? I would really like to eat
some good cajun food. Some gumbo sounds really good.
Also, if I stayed over on a Sunday, what churches in the New Orleans or
Southern Mississippi area would you recommend.

Mothers is must.

Where is Mother's and what do they serve?

Have they opened a lot of places up yet Bro. Epley? You might want to email or call the Chamber of Commerce there Hesetmefree. Phil Jones might know, as well.

I can't remember if it is called Two Sisters or Three Sisters, but they have good cajun food.

There is another place but I can't recall the name of it right now, but the line is always long ways around the building.

The Cafe Du Monde for beignets and hot chocolate....or coffee

PS. Make sure you know where you are going. Some areas are unsafe to say the least.

Since Katrina things have really changed there. I know they tried to get the bigger restraunts and tourist attractions open. We still have a lot of folks here in East TX. from New Orleans. Now of course Emeril's place would have cajun food. I haven't been to Mississippi in years. Still if you are going to the coast region they too were affected a lot by Katrina. Not sure about churches, are you looking for UPCI churches?

Boomm notes Nah Arluns would be the last place he would visit again.

I will be traveling from West TN, so I will be going through Mississippi. So any
church in the Southern Mississippi or New Orleans area might be doable.

Well I was a teenager the last time we visited relatives there. We did visit a church in Laurel Mississippi, I think.

You might be able to find a few churches in New Orleans though.

Will do a search for y'all.

Am not sure if all of these are up and running though. I just did a search and this is what I found.

Here is a good guide to restaurants that are open and good from a native New Orleanian. The guy who writes this is a food editor for the paper. http://www.nomenu.com/RestaurantsOpen.html It is very current.
The Metarie Church pastored by Br. Parker is a good church. I have not been to Br. Cupit's church in years. I know the building was destroyed by Katrina. Also, Br. Sartin's church on the West Bank of New Orleans is a good church. Hope this helps.

YES YES YES it is a must!!!!!

Acme Oyster House

I guess... mostly Acme is just overpriced if you go to the one in the French Quarter. It is a tourist trap.

Mother's serves some po boy dat make you slap yo mama... jus don' espec no special treatment from da "girls" behind de counter! :D

Galitoires is back open as well.

As for churches in New Orleans, good luck. Bro. Parker's is in Metairie and is a good church. I am not sure of the status of Bro. Cupit's church. Bro. Bryan's on the North Shore in Slidell is a good church.

The only church I have been to in Louisiana was in Bogalusa when I was a little girl. I don't even think we ever went through New Orleans.

Mike Lollard is also in Metairie pastors a good church.

We were through there in July and most of the resturants are open. Mothers is a MUST!

Yes....first stop Disneyland....then drive down the coast of S Cal to Sea World. Take a boat out to Catalina then fly back to NO if you want

Cafe Maspero is a must ........ have ssen it many times with lines to the end of the block waiting to get in ...... The prices are great, the food is great ..... just remember it is a cash only establishment

While I was working in New Orleans I frequented this establishment several nights a week.
