That time again…

We are back in New Orleans for the 4th of July holiday. Even though we don’t hangout at the French Quarters anymore we still are able to get our beignets fixings down the street at the Morning Call Cafe. This establishment is located in the center area of City Park, New Orleans. The beignets are as good or better than the famous Cafe De Monde at the FQ. 

Being that it is a holiday I was surprised it wasn’t so packed. Maybe we came later and missed the morning rush. They are open 24 hours a day except on Christmas.  

  
 

Jailbreak 8.3

I performed the latest Taig 8.3 Jailbreak and and the following later they released the 8.4 version. Since I don’t plan on taking advantage of the Beats music service I will stay with the version I’m running. All seems stable enough since I removed IntelescreenX. That particular app tweaked bricked my iPhone twice before I narrowed down the offending app. 

  

Bony’s BBQ…

We went and checked out this BBQ joint just around the corner from the hotel we’re staying at.

The food was really good and the setting was just right. I think this place caters more to the downtown lunch time crowd as there wasn’t too many evening patrons. The place did have the perfect setting for the nightclub scene since it had a bar that ran the length of the floor. I asked the waitress serving us if it was a club during the night and she replied at one point it used to be with the previous owners but not anymore.

Any Southern style BBQ is not complete without having a generous serving of cornbread. I ordered three extra pieces that my wifey snagged and coated with honey and butter.

I have to give props on the BBQ chicken it was probably one of the tastiest I’ve ever eaten. When I do travel to the Southern states I rarely order BBQ chicken if fried chicken is part of the menu. If it’s a chain type of restaurant I may pass on the chicken dishes anyway as I’ve eaten at most of them.

Warriors did it!

After the Golden State Warriors won the their second NBA championship in forty years. I had to dig out my Warriors team card of the 1975 team. It’s going to be a classic in this area now, probably get a good price if I were to ever sell it. Naaaaah!! 

There are cards in the background that probably date back to the late 50’s to early 60’s.
