If I could go anywhere today...

I'd go to New Orleans!

It is cold and dreary here in Fort Worth today and I would love just to get away for the weekend. Alas, only in my dreams!

BUT...if I did get to go, this is what I would do.

I would eat lunch here:

I love Johnny's. Ethan and I ate there a lot on our honeymoon. They have a TON of options. It's really tiny so you're crammed in there with other people. The food is so worth it though.

Then, I'd eat dinner here:

Cafe Adelaide is amazing! It's the restaraunt in the Loews Hotel:

I've never stayed at Loews, but it looks beautiful. The food at Cafe Adelaide is delicious and very different. I recommend the Ahi Tuna on crab sticky rice or the Shrimp and Rosemary Grits. Yum.

Then I would have dessert here:

And I would eat this:

And drink a lot of Cafe au Lait (decaf!). I like Cafe du Monde at night the best, but I'll never turn down a beignet!

But, I would still want to eat red beans and rice at Acme:

So I would have to spend the night!

Here, at the Quarter House (where we stayed on our honeymoon):

Or here, at the Country Inn and Suites, where we stayed for my sister's wedding. The hotel is really cool inside:

OR...I could stay here, at the Ambassador Hotel. It's an old coffee and sugar warehouse and the rooms are huge:

In between all the eating, I would wander around shopping at my favorite, WISH, and of course, LUSH:

And anywhere in between. There are so many cool art galleries, shoe stores, boutiques, antique shops, and if I'm with Ethan, book stores, and of course the French Market.

At some point we would find a place to listen to a LOT of jazz!

So, that's it. That's what I would do today if I could!
