We first stayed at Patti and Jerry's home last May when my older son graduated from Loyola in May and our family came to Nola. He's staying just a few more months until he leaves for overseas for his new job, so my younger son and I visited him from Florida for the weekend.

This place feels like home already. Although we could have gone out more, we decided to just relax and stay in the general area (we've been to Nola several times) and hang out mostly in the house. It is so comfortable and it's huge! It's a great place for us to bond since the two boys and I have been scattered in different countries/cities for the last couple of years. I will not repeat all the great things people have already mentioned in previous posts -- great location, large and charming place, and of course, Debbie the Potter (and finder of lost/left items). Last May, our stay at Patti and Jerry's home was so memorable since we were joined by my two aunts and it was sort of a reunion.

I keep missing the taco truck at Kingpin's, but I'll try it next time. In the mornings, we like to have a light breakfast at Manhattan Jack. And I love the ice cream from Creole Creamery -- forgot the name of the flavor but it is green and has absinthe (did I read that right from the sign?). I like to visit Debbie at her pottery shop to see what she's firing up lately. We had tapas at Baru on Magazine since our first choice, Rum House, was closed. On the way back to the Florida Panhandle, we always go to the Vietnamese part of town about 20-30 mins. away and get the steamed meatball buns at Dong Phuong. They are on Chef Menteur Highway.

Patti and Jerry -- I will not stay anywhere in Nola except for your house on Perrier! Debbie - thank you for my pottery and company!

Best,
Cici
