Mike Sheda: Great bar, Great Music, lethal hand grenades (if your into fruity rum drinks). I always try to get here when I'm in town for a set or two.
Eitan Lidergot: Try to catch Big Al singing. Typical bourbon street bar with beer, liquor, and hand grenades.
RcLA: You come for the hand grenades + Big Al Carson!

Laur Lo Ski: Although the stairs are far too steep for older patrons, this was the perfect venue for Cirque du Soleil offering amazing views for everyone! The food and bathroom locations were top notch as well!
ESPN: If a ball drops into your lap while at the game, it's probably because Anthony Davis just swatted some guy's shot.
HISTORY: The arena is home to the Hornets, Tulane NCAA basketball, & the Sugar Bowl Basketball Classic. In the days after Hurricane Katrina, the arena played a pivotal role after the Dome suffered damages.

Aaron Miller: By far my favorite Starbucks in metro NOLA. Sit on the patio-it's the best on a warm NOLA day.
Amy Smith: Lines are often long in the morning. Fun fact: this was the first Starbucks in Louisiana, and the building is a former art gallery.
Brittany Brady: The new renovations look great. Definitely the busiest Starbucks in the city, but understandable because it's the best.
