I can't think of a better place to spend the Christmas Holiday. Walking down Bourbon Street on Christmas, listening to a young brass band play "Stand by Me" on the street, Mardi Gras beads hanging from trees in the Garden District. There was something crude and romantic about the way the city lit up for the holiday. From midnight on Christmas day to 3:00am, I explored the jazz bars around Frenchmen st. and made it over to Mimi's to watch DJ Soul Sister spin soul and R&B records. It felt like being in a fantasy land, if that fantasy land had Christmas lights, $3 beers and James Brown records. Special thanks to the Roosevelt Hotel (pictured below) for the most spectacular indoor lights display.
