Rjuncajun Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Another good drink to buy on Bourbon, The Hand Grenade. Like The Hurricane, be careful, things of alcohol in 1 drink. You can get those at The Tropical Isle. ANY of the Brennan's restaurants, John Besch restaurants are GREAT too, as well as Emeril's. There's a few places on Fulton St, which is near WWII museum that have Great food as well. Try to get tickets to the Saints game that weekend(they play the Cardinals that weekend, I'm going). Even if you're not a Saints fan, the games are AWESOME! Game Sunday's are very busy in the city. Walk-Ons restaurant/ sports bar on Poydras St, VERY close to the Dome is a good place to catch College Games on Saturday. Tipitinas is a bar with Great local bands. There really is a TON to do. If you have a place in mind that you need insight into, let me know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Early week forecasts are giving us a lotttttt of rain on Friday... Voodoo infamous for being a Mudstock type festival. I hope everyones prepared. This was a couple of years ago back when Slash played on Saturday: https://www.youredm.com/2015/11/01/final-day-of-voodoo-fest-2015-cancelled-refunds-to-be-issued/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Good news is GnR is day one, so it won't be impacted by other days. Also the previously forecasted thunder isn't present anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rd Wheel Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I'll be at the show (New Orleans is my home town so I'm flying in Thursday) if anyone wants to meet up at the festival. Also if you're looking for good spots to eat, Port of Call has a great burger. And don't miss out on walking around the Super Dome on Sunday if you're still in the city then. The Saints are at home this week and it's always a scene there. Edited October 21, 2019 by 3rd Wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rd Wheel Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 100% Parkway Tavern is the spot to go. Shortstop Poboys off Airline is also good because they have cane sugar soda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make a mean Ham & Cheese po-boy if you need a break from all the sea food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty69 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Any idea on parking? Is it paid parking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 4 hours ago, Rusty69 said: Any idea on parking? Is it paid parking? i assume you arent a nola native? the festival is held in our “city park”, a green space thats essentially our Central Park. everything around this area is residential parking. essentially its a free for all. Your best bet is going to be getting there and parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. Neighbors might offer a “premium” for a $20, but nothing you wouldn’t be able to catch sometime between 12-2. Friday is also usually the slowest of the 3 days as the festivals target audience is in class still 3-4 hours after the Festival opens @ 12. I could try to provide you with a top down map of the area and what streets I believe will be available to park on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
