Take a day trip to Nottaway Plantation in White Castle. Drive the county roads through the little Bayou towns. Cruise both sides of River Road. Drive down to Cocodrie — it’s feels like the end of the earth.
Thanks for the ideas!! How do you say that – Co – co -dree?

It’s a very nice start. Hope you caught Kermit’s last gig at Vaughn’s. You absolutely must have the Uglesich’s cater a dinner (and have Paul’s Fantasy or the soft-shell crab http://images.egullet.com/u2/i1125.jpg).
Don’t forget Casamento’s;)
And, please promise to never say “N’Awlins” or “the Bywater” — EVER!!!
Love Casamento’s and am definitely craving their special oyster cocktail sauce. Yum! And 100 percent agree to the evil N’awlins. Likes nails on a chalkboard.
