A gem of a property tucked into a neighborhood in transition, this property is situated in a prime locale only a few short blocks from the legendary “St. Charles Avenue”! Since our hosts allowed us to bring/store our bikes inside the gated property, we were able to zip down St. Charles Ave., sipping and sampling the various food & beverages on offer there, as we viewed the many wonderfully decorated mansions en route to the Audubon Park (our turn around point). As this green space spans several city blocks deep, we had an adventurous ride through, then made our way back via the neighborhoods in “Touro”, “Fauourg”, and “Lower Garden Districts”, popping on/off “Magazine Street” (which is also choked FULL of delights & amenities). Being wine aficionados, we were stopped into the “NOLA Wine Merchant” and met the proprietor, “Jeff”! Here, there are plenty of great quality wines on offer for exceptional prices… not to mention the very personalized shopping experience! While on Magazine Street, be SURE to try the empanadas King Cakes @ “Empanola” and check out the antique shop to stock your throwback bar w/LOTS of antique decanters and glassware! On the last day/before heading out of town, we stopped into “The Vintage” (on Magazine St.) for some world-class Beignets and coffee, served up in a venue from another era! What a great trip…. We’ll be back for more soon! XOXO NOLA!!
P.S. The chickens out back were the proverbial “icing on the cake”! :)))
