I've been to New Orleans many times but have only ever heard of Preservation Hall. Tonight, that all changes.
We arrived at 6:30 to stand in line for open seating (standing room only) tickets for the 8:00 show. We weren't the first in line, but we did get tickets. Tonight's show featured Shannon Powell, the jazz drummer extraordinaire. It was only a 45-minute show (for $15...not bad) but it was long enough to enjoy the music and get a feel for "real" jazz.
After the great show, we were starving. Our plans to have muffalettas at Central Grocery were thwarted when at 6:15pm we found out they closed at 5pm. So we found Cochon Butcher and had fabulous sandwiches (including pork muffalettas for some).
Le Pig Mac: Two all-pork patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles (sweet pickes), onion, on a sesame seed bun. Yummm!!!
