So I am relaxing at my parents' house in Florida after my NOLA bachelor party extravaganza.
We got in Thursday night staying at the Astor Crowne Plaza on Canal and Bourbon St. We were going to take the first night and go easy, 'scope the place out.' This was, apparently, code for, "Go Buckwild."
We started by cracking open a bottle of The Balvenie Portwood. It's a 21 year old single malt, $200 bottle. It was fucking incredible.
We then went for dinner. We stopped at Felix's Oyster house, and proceeded to have some of the best oysters I have ever experienced. I have only ever eaten raw oysters, but this place had an open flame grill with some sort of breading sent from the gods to make the grilled oysters just incredible. My main dish was crawfish étoufée, which was really good.
The bachelor wanted to see what the strip club we had chosen had to offer. The Penthouse New Orleans is the best in the city, and we specifically chose that one. We stayed for a while, dropped a little money, and then left to see what Bourbon St had to offer. The bachelor is already married (long story involving a surprise wedding) so he couldn't get lap dances, but was content to watch all of us get bewboozled. Here he is about to make my buddy David (the most awkward, nebbish Jew of all time) be awkward around a very hot stripper.
We then proceeded to go into all the strip clubs in NOLA. Rick's Cabaret, Scores (which we immediately left upon getting to our table and discovering a jizz stain on one of the chairs), Rick's Saloon, Thin Lizzie's. Literally all of them. And none were as good as Penthouse. We would return to Penthouse every fucking night. I saw too many boobies.
After we toured bourbon (drinking at every establishment), we decided to also "scope out" the casino. Craig (the bachelor) literally lost $40 at a gimmick slot machine before all 8 of us made it through casino security. He then lost $260 more at roulette and a Poker table game before he abruptly got up and declared that he had drunk too much and needed to get to the hotel with the quickness. On the way to the hotel, we made direct eye contact with a college aged girl peeing in the street.
Next day, we got up and had Chicory Coffee and Beignets at Café Beignet. This was a transcendent experience.
After breakfast, we walked to the World War II national museum on the other side of the Warehouse District for some incredible exhibits. They had a Nazi propaganda exhibit on loan from the Holocaust Museum that was especially worrisome. The displays they had at this museum were just epic.
That night, we went to the Waldorf Astoria Roosevelt Room for Sazeracs, which are a famous whisky drink that was invented there. Very good.
Back to the strip club we went. We stayed a long time this night. To end the night, we walked down to the other end of the French Quarter to Frenchman St to see some live Jazz.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
