New Orleans food is as good as thier music.....
#1 Uglesich's with thier shrimp and grits, crawfish balls, fried green tomatoe's, grilled catfish, bacon wrapped shimp served with sweet potatoe, firecracker shrimp, fried oysters,
we did 10 app's and no main's as the owner agreed that was the best way to taste...
#2 Frankie & Johnny's (see below)
#3 Mother's: Po-Boys, Etouffee's
Went to Peristyle which had some good dishes and a super chicken dish and Herbsaint which also had some super dishes (gnocchi app, short rib app) but the other dishes were just ok but we tried only a small part of the menu.....
Want to try next time: Irene's Cuisine (rumored to have soft shell crabs served over crawfish linguine:>), Jacques-Imo (place looks cool, next to maple Leaf Bar and I hear the food is better than ever), Pascal's Manale (local's fav), Dooky Chase (Creole super star some say), and oh so many more.....

NASA is expected to announce this week that it has proved the existence of "dark energy", a cosmic force that counteracts gravity and will keep the universe expanding forever. The announcement will effectively demolish the theory that life will be wiped out in a "big crunch" when the universe collapses, and should end decades of academic dispute.

Flexcar's fleet of rent by the hour vehicles includes Toyota's gas-electric hybrid
Prius. I rented one ($6.50 per hour, flexible rates) for a test spin. Cute, comfortable, quiet, clean and peppy off the line.

i saw
zipcar advertised in the subway yesterday. seems like it could be a good idea. you pay a monthly fee and then you have access to their cars, which are parked all over the city for $6-12/hour with a maximum per day cost $60-90. which is still cheaper than a rental. no gas, insurance. plus the monthly fee covers your rental charges.
