I'd also recommend Central Grocery, if you don't mind long lines and like muffelatas. Sitting down and eating one while sitting on a bench by the river walk is a favorite pastime of mine.

It's so vibrant and full of history. It is a place I always tell people to visit if they go to New Orleans. Also, if they get the chance, check out a funeral procession. Always an interesting sight.

The jazz funerals really are a unique sight. We learned about those in my Music Appreciation class.

Yep. I listened to a fair bit of jazz, for funerals or otherwise, after that class. My professor kinda opened my eyes to it.

It is your destiny to eat all of the world's spicy pickles before they launch the nukes at the sun. You are the world's only hope.

Well, not our only hope. There are plenty of pregnant women who are eating pickles left and right.

Cuddle party
A cuddle party or cuddle puddle is an event designed with the intention of allowing people to experience non-sexual group physical intimacy through cuddling.[1]

Cuddle parties are described by organizers as "workshop/social-events" that give adults an opportunity to "give and receive welcomed affectionate touch in a no-expectation, friendly setting, according to your needs, desires, interests, and boundaries." Cuddle parties are described as nonsexual events and commonly kissing is not allowed.[2]


Oh my gosh, I had no idea this existed... haha
