French 75 is a required haunt. I prefer Arnaud’s over Antoine’s, but that’s me. There is a draw to New Orleans. Hopefully you wandered to St. Louis #1 to greet Marie Laveau. That cemetery is wonderful...even though the masses are scared of it, eternity lives in its energy. I pay respects, but never request a boon of Madame Laveau. And, if you found the lovely ladies at Erzulie’s too., their altars to Papa Legba and Erzulie are sights to behold. Its not all love and light, but therein lies the draw. The joy lies in the balance. Color will be painted on the gray. Skepticism becomes magic... I wish you the wonder of the 4th decade...
Yes- I've been to New Orleans almost one hundred times in my life- definitely love the Marie Laveau vibe, but preferred the original shop (it's moved/ changed quite a bit over the decades). We tend to hang over at Voodoo Authentica with Balthazar and team;)
This is wonderful!
Thank you, Audra!
