Apparently, according to this great story over at CNN, it was still possible to get a decent drink in the centre of New Orleans over the past few days, in the finest decadent traditions of that city.
That must have really annoyed the self-loathing creeps who opined that Katrina was some sort of Divine Punishment for the city’s libertine, jazz-loving past. Screw ’em and make mine a tequila.
Thanks to the eagle-eyed Reason Hit and Run blog for the pointer.
You don’t think some poxy little ole’ hurricane is going to stop the bars serving in the Big Easy?
I spent an night in New Orleans in ’88, spent 3 hours walking the streets and didn’t find a single bar or restaurant– must have been in the WRONG part of town!
