We walked from Jackson Square to the French Market and stopped to get a balloon from a street performer along the way.
The French Market is market consisting of several buildings full of vendors. Although there is a roof, the sides are open. Part of the area is dedicated to food vendors and part is set up flea market style with booths for vendors to sell their wares.
We sampled several foods along the way and can now cross "eat alligator" off our bucket list. The alligator was in the form of a sausage on a stick. it was very greasy and pretty spicy. It wasn't bad but I have no need to eat it again. been there, done that.
Back onto Bourbon Street
We had lunch at Bubba Gumps. The food was good but expensive and I regret eating at a chain instead of a local place but we were hungry and it was there.
And, back to Jackson Square for more street performers
You just cannot visit New Orleans without trying a beinget, a fired pillow of dough sprinkled with powdered sugar. And the famous tourist spot to indulge is the Café Du Monde in Jackson Square
