Melanie and Eric are the perfect hosts. Eric shared his marvelous coffee with us each morning, while Melanie obliged us with dining tips and must-see attractions. Her love for her native city is infectious! For future visitors, I urge you to listen to Melanie's pointers. Because of her, my friend and I were able to bypas crowds during a busy New Years weekend and dine in comfort, sans line.
The neighborhood Gentilly is about a 10 minute drive from the Quarter, and although it has a slower pace, it's worth exploring. The unique architecture and friendly passers-by make for an enjoyable stroll to any of the scrumptious Gentilly eateries. Melanie and Eric, thank you for hosting Jenna and me. We will be surely be back!
