We’re eating our way through New Orleans with the #NewinNOLA crew.
Venues this week were Laurel Street Bakery, Bouligny Tavern, Hansen’s, Bacchanal Wine, Seki Sui, Sucre, Mona’s, Cafe Adelaide, Cochon Butcher and Dat Dog.
And we had a massive intake of food (cheese!!) Saturday. So good and so bad.

Our New Orleans food adventures 5/20/13
New Orleans is a foodie city and we eat out quite a bit. It helps us give good recommendations when our out-of-town visitors ask us where they should eat. Here’s some photo evidence of our culinary adventures this past week or so.
Check out the full post on Storify for the prettier version of the photos.
Advice for having the best Bacchanal Wine experience
We had our first experience at Bacchanal Wine  last week through our latest #NewinNOLA meet-up. We had the perfect weather to sit outside under the trees, drink wine, eat cheese and meet new people.

Plus, we got to mark another restaurant off of Eater.com’s list of 38 Essential New Orleans restaurants that we’ve visited.
Hope you are able to join us for our next meet-up and eat-up. Our gatherings are geared toward new residents, but we welcome everyone. We’ll post details soon about our next gathering.
We had several people give us tips before we went to Bacchanal and we learned some more while we were there. If you have more advice, we’re all ears. Leave us a comment.
Tips for getting the most out of Bacchanal Wine:

Zombie Harlem Shake video made in New Orleans
A zombie version of the Harlem Shake video meme? Yes, please. New in NOLA’s Laura had to check things out first hand.

I’m a huge fan of gratuitous selfies — it’s gotten to the point that I’m convinced the only person who knows how to take a flattering picture of me, is me. And I have absolutely zero shame about posting my self portraits to Facebook. My good friends indulge me with a smattering of “likes.” My tolerant acquaintances greet my bursts of vanity with silence.
On the last Saturday in February, however, my pic du jour elicited a radically different reaction.
