I seriously miss New Orleans already! This year I visited a few new places and of course my favorites like Deanie’s, Erin Rose, and Felix’s. I was able to try Acme Oyster this time,twice actually and braved the line both times. Now I can finally make my judgement as to if Acme is worth the wait or if you should just go to Felix’s across the street with shorter to no lines. I honestly like Felix’s just a little better but Acme was definitely tasty. I was also able to check out some great music and do a little shopping.
