City House Hostel - New Orleans

I went to New Orleans, LA at the end of June for the Libertarian National Convention. I was ballin' on a budget so I stayed at City House Hostel in the French quarter. It was really a nice and very affordable place to stay. Nestled inside a walled-off second story portion of a parking garage, it didn't look like much from the outside.

I took this picture late on July 2nd walking back from the convention with my iPhone 7. This is actually the exterior of the hostel. Many streets in NOLA, particularly in the French Quarter, look like alleys. The city certainly had it's own unique beauty though. The ambient lighting was especially surreal.

I love the French Quarter. Our trip to NOLA was pretty alcohol-heavy, so driving was out of the question a lot. A lot of our trip revolved around wandering around the FQ

What did you think about the food? I wasn’t impressed honestly but maybe I just had unrealistic expectations.

I was very impressed with the food, but I'm not a reliable source of judgement. 1) I've found I have a very unique food interest i.e. things I find good most others do not. and 2) we were on a very tight budget so we only ate real local food a few times. Those times we kind of splurged on nicer places. Other than that we were surviving off the typical sort of cheap food you can get anywhere.

So, the food we had was really good, but given it was our only opportunity to really try it we actively sought out places that we knew were going to be really good. I'm bummed to hear you had a different experience though! Although, I can see how the expectations can be a factor. I somewhat forgot they are known for that

That’s probably where I went wrong. Mostly just ate at the cheaper pubs and restaurants. The best thing I had there though was the food truck outside the Hyatt Regency. I went to daisy dukes and had the alligator sausage and it tasted just like a store-bought beef sausage.
