As my mind settled in from pre NewYears eve festivities, the crew and I headed out to enjoy Nola's cuisine and vibes before the fireworks at midnight. We decided to have some drinks at a dive bar and then head to the delightful Royal House Oyster Bar to fill the guts before heading to the water to watch the fireworks. Walking to the bar and enjoying artwork in the French Quarter we ran across "The violin lady" on the corner blazing up some inspired tunes that quickly garnered an audience.
After some head bobs, a few tips and smiles, we made our way to the Royal House. During our 15 minute wait to get seated we were treated to a wedding march!
The first thing that blessed the table were the crawfish patties, they were light, flavorful and resting on a lake of house sause. I could have easily eaten four of these po boy style.
Next up was an oldie but goodie, oysters on the half shell in all their brined goodness. This worthy appetizer (or main dish depending on your level of gluttony that day) is accompanied with lemon, horseradish and a spicy house sauce. You won't know whether to laugh or cry with joy, so I recommend you do both and go to town on these goodies.
After some good laughs that were made harder with wine, I played it conservative with the shrimp platter and cole slaw. The shrimp, hush puppies and fries ended up being a great decision because it was good beer drinking food.
Party pit stop and then on to the water!!!!
And then I realized..
Better get to the main event.
We survived.
