Antoine’s was closed. The bar was open but not serving food.

 

 

First Napoleon House. I’ll give a mixture of photos from now and when I came by earlier.

 

This was the home of the fifth mayor of New Orleans, Nicholas Girod. In 1821 Girod prepared the house to be the home of Napoleon Bonaparte who was to be rescued from Saint Helena. Napoleon became ill and passed away before the recuse attempt.

I still gotta finish New Orleans But this is what’s happening now

Next the Carousel Bar at the Hotel Monteleone. It took three attempts for me to get a seat at it. I had one of their cocktails they invented called the Goody.

 

The Bar is on a carousel. It makes a revolution every 15 minutes. Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams all sat here.

I did a time lapse video. I believe the actual time was around 45 minutes. This is in 33 seconds.

Lafitte’s blacksmith shop. The oldest building in the country currently used as a bar. I love

going at night when they are using minimal

electricity. The place is lit up by candles.

Thank you for your fantastic review of New Orleans!  Love that place!

Pirates Alley Cafe. This Alley is where they say pirates used to meet. The light post represents the closest church, state, and bar are to each other in the country as this is next to St Louis cathedral and behind the cabildo. It’s called cafe because you can’t have a bar there. It’s constantly under threat of being closed because it’s a bar named cafe.

Okay. Time for a ghost story.

 

LaLaurie Mansion 1140 Royal Street

Owned by a crazy woman who tortured her slaves. In 1834 there was a fire believed to be started by a slave that was chained to the oven.

 

When putting the fire out slaves were discovered starved, tortured, chained up. They were taken to the cabildo for medical treatment.

 

As word spread an angry mob gathered around her house and ran her out of town. It’s believed she returned to France where she died about 15 years later.

 

The house was recently owned by Nicholas Cage but he lost it in a bankruptcy. 

 

It’s supposed to be the most haunted house in New Orleans. They say you can feel negative energy just by standing too close to it.

I have to admit. I didn’t buy into this ghost business. My original plan was to buy a scary mask, do this video, and turn the camera on me to scare y’all. I decided against it. Or I forgot to order the mask...either way. 

 

But this is weird....This is at 1am..nobody else is around.
