| Halloween Highlights |

In many parts of the country Halloween is strictly for kids. In New Orleans, you need only to still be in touch with your inner child. This year the city's gigantic costume party on the Saturday before was back, with thousands of costumed revelers filling the Sports Arena next to the Superdome. My personal "best of" costume award goes to the group wearing overalls over T-shirts silk-screened with "E-coli Farms: Spinach to Die For."
Halloween night we headed into the French Quarter for dinner at Muriel's, next door to the St. Louis Cathedral, chosen in equal parts for its amazing cuisine and for its strategic location in the heart of costume clad celebrants filling the streets.
There were folks of all ages, some in costumes that they'd obviously worked on for weeks, and some that had just thrown on anything that could be remotely called a costume—an orange wig, a rubber nose, a recycled Mardi Gras mask—just so they could be there and feel like a part of the scene.
A good time was had by all. |
