On a related note, if you’re looking for an authentic New Orleans dining experience, you can’t do better than Bourbon Street Hideaway. My wife and I shared date night there sans the children several months ago — a truly memorable experience! The food was exceptional, atmosphere cozy and comfortable – the waitstaff met our every need.
Share the Bourbon Street experience with your special someone – you won’t be disappointed!
