Friday…in New Orleans

New Orleans…what can I say. Pookah had Spring Break last week and we took off to visit my in laws. Lucky me, New Orleans is only 2 hours away from my mother in law’s house, so a quick road trip was in order.

Our visits are always cut short to my favorite city and I long for the time when I can go and stay overnight. But in the meantime, I am satisfied with short happy fast moving visits with jazz bands in the square, strolls down bourbon street( where I had to cover Pookah’s eyes a couple of times), and good food.

Speaking of good food, my quest for Gluten Free options doesn’t end when we travel. A while ago, Tara from The Young Mommy Life, had introduced me to the App, Find me Gluten Free. I decided to try it out for New Orleans. Amazingly, New Orleans has LOTS of options for gluten free. The trick was: finding one that Pookah would actually eat.

The Palace Cafe ended up being our choice. Right on Canal street.

It was EXCELLENT. The service was wonderful. Of course, nothing on the children’s menu was gluten free but the wonderful kitchen and wait staff told us that they would modify anything on that menu so that it would be gluten free.

For that alone they get a A+.

No photos of the food, it was gone as soon as the smell of it went up our noses.

We walked off our food, played in the park and then headed home.

I love New Orleans and love it even more now that there are gluten free options for Pookah.

I can’t wait to go back….
