Breakfast: The Old Coffee Pot

Posted by Rob on Mar 26, 2013 in Featured Slider, Restaurants, Travel | 0 comments For breakfast today we sought out a well-recommended location in the French Quarter called The Old Coffee Pot - an original restaurant of old New Orleans established in 1696. The establishment’s history was evident in the historical paintings and objects located throughout the restaurant. Maureen and I ordered “the Plantation Breakfast” — two eggs any style, ham steak,...

RT3: NOLA – Muffaletta & Rib Room

Posted by Rob and Maureen on Aug 28, 2011 in Featured Slider, Restaurants, Road Trip, Travel | 1 comment Today, Sunday is our last full day in the Big Easy. We are determined to try a N’awlins classic, the muffaletta sandwich. Research tells us that Central Grocery is the originator of this sandwich. This is highly disputed by Frank’s, an Italian eatery a couple doors down. Since Central Grocery does not feel it is necessary to open on a Sunday, we choose Franks. Who has the best Muff?...
