Because I’ve driven to Louisiana many times (and to make last-minute planning easier and save a few bucks), decided to drive to New Orleans for Peers Conference. Just hitting the road now! See y’all tonight.
@manton if you need to make a pit stop in Lafayette on your way back I can recommend some places not too far off I-10!
@cbirdsong I may drive through this time, but we do visit family in Lafayette pretty often so I'd love to hear the recommendations!
Quick stops near-ish to I-10: - Rêve Coffee Roasters- coffee, cocktails, a few pastries
- Carpe Diem - espresso, gelato, crepes
- Black Cafe - coffee, sandwiches (has a drive-thru)
- La Papa Loca - Mexican/Honduran comfort food (slow service, best ordered ahead)
- Spoonbill - casual Cajun-ish food, tiki cocktails
- Pop's Poboys - what it says on the tin, and the best ones in town
- Johnson's Boucanière - Cajun-tinted BBQ
- Patacon - Venezuelan (slow service, best ordered ahead)
- Rusted Rooster - breakfast/lunch sandwich place
- Broaddus Burgers - burgers, fries and other stuff you'd expect with that
- Taco Sisters - healthy-ish tacos/burritos/etc (has a drive-thru)
- - Cafe 20.3 - greasy spoon type sandwiches (has a drive-thru)
Further in:
