NOLA Unfiltered: A Quirky Travel Recap 🎭🐊

🌆 French Quarter Basics The heart of NOLA! Walkable but wild at night—bars, jazz clubs, and voodoo shops. 2 days = perfect to explore it all. 🍽️ Must-Try Bites 🐊 Alligator Meat: "Wait, this ‘fried chicken’ is gator?!" (Tastes like chicken, but Cajun-spiced!). 🌿 Swamp Tours No gator guarantees (they’re wild, after all!). Our luck: Guide snatched a 2-year-old gator mid-tour! Held it for 40 mins until it stopped resisting 😂. 🎷 Jazz & Game Lore Preservation Hall: Book early online! Latecomers get terrible seats. RDR2 Fans: NOLA = Saint Denis IRL! Spot: Jackson Square (at night: psychics replace tourists). Lafayette Cemetery. Oak Alley Plantation. 🍗 The "NOLA Wings" Lie No such thing as "New Orleans wings" (sacrilege!). Closest vibe: Fried chicken @ Luke (with Cajun spices). #NOLA #TravelTruths #GatorTales #JazzOrBust #RDRIRL 🎺🎮
