Reveillon
We spent Saturday night in New Orleans, and Sunday morning after mass we headed to Avenue Pub for some lunch. I had a duck sandwich that was fantastic. We spent in the afternoon walking around the French Quarter ducking in and out of some of the art galleries. It was an absolutely beautiful day.
On the way back to the car we swung by the Aquarium of the Americas to look for the brick there with my name on it. I was sort of discouraged at first as there were many, many bricks. However, Maureen was able to find my brick. It was pretty cool; I had not seen it in a long, long time.
We headed over to the Dickey's around 6:30 and hung out while all of our dinner companions collected. It was great, as always, to see everybody. After while we headed towards downtown to go eat Muriel's.
They seemed to be a little behind on reservation seating, so we spent some time in the bar. They made a tasty dirty gin martini. Yay, savory cocktails. When we sat down the Reveillon menu looked good to me. I had duck confit with a pumpkin risotto for an appetizer, a fresh Louisiana citrus salad, a bone-in veal chop with crabmeat and oyster dressing for an entree, and then pain perdu bread pudding for dessert. Overall a fantastic meal, and I think we all enjoyed it.
We decided to stay in New Orleans that night as it was late and were both tired. We had a great time and look forward to continuing the tradition as the years go by.
