Must Do Sunday: Crawfish Boil at Neons
Okay, two of my favorite local things are coming with the thing I miss most about New Orleans!
From here in the Queen City the two elements in question are:
- Pho Lang Thang – finally we’ve got some classic down home Vietnamese cooking in this town! I moved here from a city with a large Vietnamese population and I had missed that more than almost anything. Number one stop on every trip to Findlay Market!
- The Famous Neons Unplugged – The living room of the OTR! Chilled out and fun with a brilliant courtyard and a solid bar. Little known to some a certain segment of the populace meet there to watch Dr Who…
From back home in NOLA? Crawfish! (As if you couldn’t tell that from the title.)
This trifecta is, as they say, full of WIN! You can be guaranteed that I’ll be there early, and if you can get me to stop eating long enough I might even teach you the proper way to peel a crawfish…
Trust me on this one. And no, I’m not getting paid or anything like that. I genuinely love both the places involved and if anyone in town can pull off this Gulf Coast tradition it would have to be the guys from Pho Lang Thang. As to hosting, only Neons and Mayday have the right vibe.
The details are here and the boil runs from 5to 8 pm.
I’ll see you there, just don’t get between me and the crawfish!
