Port of Call (Love the cook in the background smoking...)

It’s a Friday night and cocktails come to mind! Port of Call specializes in a particular drink called the “Monsoon.” This delicious concoction will cause a 200 lb man on an empty stomach to begin to see New Orleans as it really is: fantastic!

Part of the drink list. I'm ready to walk the plank alright...

Good god…and yes, I got a To-Go Cup. Walking around with one of these is a badge of honor among all the ‘hand grenades’ and stupid ‘yard’ beers that Nebraskan college student/tourists always seem to be carrying around.

Swept away by the Monsooooooon!

You’ll also notice the Turtle – the solid red, Tequila based drink that you see in the background. Folks, take note – that’s a SMALL that you see.

Surprised this picture isn't blurry...

Well, that’s about it from Port O’ Call in NOLA. I’m moving on to the other places now. I’m a bit wobbly and there’s 3 of everything, but damn I feel good in the big easy!

Good Googily that's quite a burger there, Sir!

As a half Irish, half Russian born on St. Patrick’s Day, a trip to New Orleans for the occassion is somewhat….unreal. No that’s not the word. Amazing. Yes, that’s it.

If you’re like me and particularly enjoy enormous burgers and stiff drinks, the Port of Call on Esplanade Ave. in New Orleans, LA should be your first stop. In fact – it was!

Within 30 minutes of touchdown, I was downing one of these guys. Comes with a baked potato even! Look at what happens when you actually put her top on!
