New Orleans Nov 2019 Day 5

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Chilling
Decide to venture into French quarters and the river walk and it's surprisingly crowded for Thanksgiving day

We stopped for breakfast at KingFish and enjoyed a Thanksgiving breakfast southern style.
Jambalaya Risotto, collard greens and sweet potato hash with sausage for Thanksgiving Breakfast
Then we head to Cafe du monde to get a touristy Beignet.
There are 2 lines, one for eating in and one for take out, both equally long. And Bill is pretty grossed out by the sheen of powdered sugar on the table.. hahaa.
eeeewwwww
And an indication this is now a tourist trap? all the waiters/waitresses are chinese. The dough is also under-fried and taste slightly bitter.

We then walk down the river front to the warehouse district
The selfie with the inverted letters
I like this pic. The fountain that appears to be spouting water under the bridge
Interesting sculpture
We were also told by at least 3 locals that Brothers (a provision store) near our apt has the best fried chicken. We had to compare with Willie Mae and hands down, Willie Mae wins. But it's also $15 for 3 pieces vs $4 for 3 pieces

That evening we went back to 30/90 and had an awesome time listening to music and enjoying happy hour oysters and shrimps.
Thanksgiving Po Boy, $0.50 oysters and $8 peel and eat shrimps. Yum
The band is very good and quite humorous as it's Thanksgiving and they are really just out playing for a good time. It's the first time the 2 of them duet together on the guitar and it's quite enjoyable!
