Episode 030, New Orleans, LA, Filmed May 2023
Hey y'all! We're Lauren and Clint. We've been married since 2016 and we have two pets, one 🐺 - Lilly and one 🐱- Leia. Lauren is originally from East Tennessee and Clint is originally from Kentucky, we met in Florida, but we now live in Nashville, TN. We love visiting new places and trying new things - mostly food! We hope you enjoy our adventures as we explore the US and more, collecting the most epic shot glasses we can find along the way!
Get the Skinny version of the Hand Grenade next time!! You get the same amount of alcohol, but it isn't as sweet and a lot better! My husband and I go several times a year. It's my favorite city.
Thanks for the tip!! and thanks so much for watching. We love New Orleans so much!
Much like the Pimm’s Cup, these videos are underrated!! Keep up the good work- this was excellent
Thank you so much, that's so nice! The Pimm's Cup is underrated for sure!!
Thank you for this video. Visiting in October. This is very informative.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!!
Thanks for sharing! Loved this video, thanks for keeping me entertained! Going soon to NOLA.
Thank you for watching!!
Great video thanks
Thanks for watching!!
Love the videos! There’s a gazebo bar/cafe near the French market that actually has awesome cocktails! The hurricane from there is one of our favorites
Well now we must know the name of this bar/cafe! Thanks so much for watching!!
My wife and I are visiting in Dec. This video helped so much!
Thanks so much! and thank you for watching. Hope you enjoy!
Been to NOLA twice now! Wife and I love it. We’re going for our third time next week and will have to check some of these places out!
Definitely let us know where you end up! Thanks so much for watching
I’ve got to try the frozen Irish coffee. Yumm!
It's so good!! Especially on a hot day. Thanks for watching :)
Hi guys! I just took my wife to New Orleans during Halloweentime and it was a blast, but dammit...I wish I would've watched your great video beforehand! These are wonderful suggestions, the ambience in those places looked great and all those drinks looked tasty. We did go to Pat O'Briens and the hurricane drink was very good. Went to Napoleon House (good food and excellent service!) and The Olde Absynthe House, but whiffed on Pirate's Alley Cafe which was sooo close to Place D'Armes where we stayed. BTW Halloween in the French Quarter is awesome! Cheers and thanks for the video, it makes me want to return to NOLA sooner than later!
So glad you all had a great time! Thanks so much for watching!!
I love Napoleon House. The staff was great. Hand Grenade is the best tasting drink I've ever drank. Of course, hurricanes and purple drinks get honorable mentions. Unfortunately, I can't stand the taste of absinthe, but the Pirate's Alley Cafe is really cool. Fun fact: You can get refills on Hand Grenades for $10 if you keep the cup.
Absinthe is definitely not my (Lauren) favorite, but it's a fun experience! Thanks so much for watching!
Great video. New Subscriber. We just moved to Mississippi. New Orleans isn't that far from us. I'm going to try all these drinks and make a video and shout you guys out. Stay amazing...... Mojo
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! We hope you enjoy New Orleans!

😂😂😂You’re the first person to catch Leia (our cat) hiding in our videos! She makes appearances in *almost* every one of them! She’s sneaky.
Bloody Marys are the best in Nola, I learned many years ago not to drink hurricanes! Too many in such a short time 🤢
Where is the best Bloody Mary? Clint loves them!
The Carousel Bar is probably the very worst bar that I ever visited. It's tiny, it's crowded with tourists 24/7, the drinks that we were served were amazingly bad. And the prices are a joke. And they are understaffed.
Note that in this video, they say that you have to show up at 10:30 am so you can sit at the famous rotating bar. Because there are about 12 stools at the bar.
My wife ordered a cosmopolitan and I ordered a blackjack on the rocks. I got (for real) about 1/8 of an inch of JD in my glass and my wife's cosmo was just a random glopping of random booze. I'd love to say what it was, but nobody would be able to tell you without a chemical spectrographic analysis.
To be fair to the bartender, they had ONE guy mixing drinks for 150 people, so he probably was doing his best.
You'll pay $25 per drink to have this joyous experience.
Hi! Yes, it is an 'iconic' bar and it is very touristy, no denying that! There are not many seats which is why we do recommend showing up if you are interested in securing a barstool without waiting. With the drinks, we had a great experience so I'm sorry to hear yours wasn't good! Thanks for watching
That isn't a Hurricane at the Bourbon O Bar! Wrong Color and not as many different Rums in it!
We agree that it is very different in color! But, they make it with fresh ingredients so that's why it looks so different. It was delicious either way and we love both hurricanes! Of course, there is nothing like the Pat O'Brien hurricane! Thanks for watching!
That is in fact the more traditional color, made with passion fruit juice. Not to knock Pat's, cuz there's are good too, but they use a mix that is more like Kool-aid.
OK lets go
Nice_ I like you guy's
Thank you!!
