Delicious LifeStyle - Cochon

A friend of mine from out of town sent me a link to a NYTimes article about restaurants in New Orleans.  The article itself is a little hokey, but let's be honest - pretty much everything about this city (including this site) is somewhat hokey.  Otherwise, it highlights one of NOLA's most attractive attributes - the sheer number of top-notch restaurants around town.

As a law student of meager means, I have yet to patronize most of our best restaurants.  But I have managed to swing by a few, including my favorite Cochon.  The fact that the co-owner/chef is my landlord has something to do with my affinity.  But I think the restaurant's national attention speaks to the quality of food they put out.  Here is another NYTimes article published during the playoffs (Stephen is the one on the right).

What do these photos have to do with eating out?  Nothing.  But it's exam week and I haven't been outside in awhile.  Deal with it.

Tulane Crawfest

Tulane today is having their annual Crawfest on the quad.  Simple setup: lots of delicious crawdads, a solid lineup of local bands, and free admission for students.  As exams are breathing down our necks, most law students aren't able to fully enjoy the day - but I got more than enough crawfish and sunshine to satisfy my needs.  NOLA always has a good way of relaxing me when I could easily be stressed out of my mind.
