We made reservations for lunch at Commander's Palace. This restaurant is a New Orleans institution. We had never been before - so we were looking forward to a treat!
Our good friends, Tom & Kris, suggested that we make our reservations for the Garden Room. It was really beautiful. Great suggestion! Thanks guys.
The "$.25 Martini Lunch" is supposedly the best kept secret in town. It isn't well advertised - unless you go the website. We had a delicious meal - and a couple of equally delicious martini's. I couldn't believe our bar bill was only $1.00 ! Amazing!
After lunch we took some pictures outside the restaurant - and then headed across the street to the Lafayette Cemetery.
After our visit to the Garden District we headed back into the French Quarter for one last walk and look around the city that we love SO much!The gorgeous St. Louis Cathedral -
And a final photo from Pirates Alley.
We have been home for two weeks. We already miss the Crescent City. We're planning our return visit - probably sometime in the summer of 2011. Our hearts are always renewed in the city that we love so much!

What history ~ the architecture is very European, especially the pirates alley. I've loved your NOLA posts!!
Your photos are GREAT and really capture the spirit of your vacation and of the city. What a fab get-away!!
Loved New Orleans, and I can't wait until our return in 2011.
Twenty five cent martini?!?
As if I needed any more reason to go! I really, really want to go.
