New Orleans Louisiana | A 4-Day Visual Retrospective

A Visit to New Orleans Louisiana | A 4-Day Visual Retrospective 

The VooDoo Mart on Canal Street in New Orleans LA

In the French Quarter in New Orleans LAI just spent 4 full days in New Orleans for the Council of Residential Specialists (CRS) and National Association of REALTORS (NAR) fall meetings. Numerous meetings and long conversations with new and old friends made for a very full schedule with limited time to get out and see the city.  

But several jaunts out for food (The Upperline Restaurant, the Acme Oyster House, G. W. Fins, Mulates) and to poke around the French Quarter for a hour before the CRS Inauguration and buy a mask for the event provided an ample source of visual memories, some of which are captured here.

New Orleans in an amazing city of diversity and well worth a visit. THose of you who have been there know what I mean.

Upperline Restaurant in New Orleans - A Delight for the Senses

Upperline Restaurant in New Orleans - A Delight for the Senses 

My visit to The Upperline Restaurant in New Orleans the other night with friends was a delight for the senses, combining two of my passions. 

Upperline Restaurant in New Orleans LAThe Upperline Restaurant was a perfect marriage of art and great food in a delightful old building. Owner JoAnn Clevenger is a charming host, restauranteur, and art collector, and you know immediately you are in for a treat upon entering.

If you can steer your eyes away from the walls that are crammed with an eclectic collection of art spanning decades from local and regional artists to peruse the dinner menu of Creole and contemporary cuisine, you're sure to find it hard to decide what to have. 

Our service was outstanding, and the food exceeded expectations, despite being led to expect great things. The photos, hopefully, do at least some justice to the flavorful creations at The Upperline Restaurant.

The 3 course menu at $38 is a fabulous way to enjoy some of the best The Upperline has to offer, with choices for each course.  And of course the best way to enjoy is for your friends to order different dishes so that all can share and enjoy. With an excellent wine selection, you are ensured an outstanding culinary experience at The Upperline Restaurant.

Press a Button and the Elevator Tells YOU Where to Go

Press a Button and the Elevator Tells YOU Where to Go 

I'm at the Marriott in New Orleans for the Fall meetings of the Council of Residential Specialists (CRS) this week. Cool place to be but not much time to enjoy the sights. 

The elevator at the Marriott New OrleansThe elevators here are pretty sassy. You press a button and the elevator tells you where to go. Not in the literal sense...LOL. 

You enter your floor number on the keypad and the system will tell you which of the 7 elevators (A through G) will be yours.

That elevator arrives, you get on, and it takes you to your floor. No buttons to push, no thinking, and unless it is crowded and that particular elevators is going to more than 1 floor, there's no stopping on the way. 

You do have to make sure you take the right elevator because you can't change floors on root - no buttons, remember? It's been fun watching people get on and say "please press # X for me" or "Where's the button?"  The system works well, and the elevators are pretty fast. There are a lot of people going up and down and I have never had to wait more than about 15 or 20 seconds. 

At least that's one less hassle to worry about at a crowded convention hotel. We won't get into the wireless issues. L
