The yaka mein looks good. I just don't like the egg put in it. I don't like eggs in general.

The English turned around and left; hence the neighborhood known today as "English Turn".

Most of the architecture in the French Quarter is actually Spanish. After the French built the original city, the territory passed into Spanish hands. The city was almost totally destroyed by fire, and so it was rebuilt under Spanish rule.

The current site of Metairie Cemetary (not in Metairie) was originally a race track. Also, Race Street in the lower Garden District was named because it was planned to be one end of a racetrack in that neighborhood. The track was never built.
Actually, the French Quarter is Spanish Colonial and looks more like Cuba than Spain.

I've never been to Spain, but I've been to the Caribbean and few times and nothing else reminds me more of New Orleans than Jamaica and The Bahamas.
