Re: French Quarter Hotel Suggestion

I would suggest the Renaissance Arts hotel about a half block from Emeril's. Outstanding decor and La Cote Brasserie is the in house restaurant. Rooms are very nice and you can get a good deal. Just spent a weekend there as we are from the northshore. Great time. Short stroll to Emeril's, great dinn...

Re: Now that Pearl Jam has played Jazzfest...who

Personally I was hoping for an Iron Butterfly or Strawberry Alarm Clock set.

Re: JaMarcus Eats Himself Out of the League

Ok, so he takes his 20 million and goes home.

Maybe not so dumb after all (or dumb lucky).

Re: Time to Buy a New Car---HELP!!!!!!!

g9 - Rouge is a good choice. Nissan has been coming up in their quality levels and they're getting a little more stylish. I recently went with desire rather than sensibility. Bought a Dodge Challenger. Love the retro design and the ride. More heart than head decision. I'll probably pay for it in the...

Re: Time to Buy a New Car---HELP!!!!!!!

I can't see Toyota surviving this...no matter HOW much money they spend on advertising and public relations. I wouldn't touch one of their cars with a 10 foot pole.

Had the hanger steak, DC had the top sirloin. Both outstanding. Wine was the Malbec and the Cab. The Cab. was outstandin...

Re: Time to Buy a New Car---HELP!!!!!!!

If you visit Edmunds.com, you can enter the specifications of the car you're thinking of and get a "TMV" price, which corresponds to the average of what consumers are paying in this specific area. You can use that number as a benchmark. Next send an email to the Internet sales manager of ...
