You're listed to Beyond Bourbon Street, an insider's guide to New Orleans.

Beyond Bourbon Street is the podcast where we explore the food, music, culture, places, and people that make New Orleans unique.

Whether you are planning a trip, living in New Orleans, or simply wanting a taste of the

Crescent City from wherever you are, you've come to the right place.

And now, your host, Mark Bologna.

Hey, y'all, this is Mark. Welcome to episode 241. Today's episode is a question and answer show,

but it's also a celebration of our 10th anniversary. The last show was titled Holiday Hodgepodge

and was a mix of things to eat, drink, and see this time of year. If you missed it, go back and

give it a listen. I think you'll enjoy it. Before we jump in, let me talk about the people that make this show possible. Our friends at Two Chick's Walking Tours were recently awarded the Trip Advisors' Traveler's Choice Award, which is presented to the top 10% of tour operators in the world. This is a designation that earned every year since they've been in business, which is a noteworthy accomplishment, to be sure.

Take advantage of their well-designed small group experiences, as well as their private chores.

Please consider them when planning corporate or personal events.

Major publications such as Southern Living, Harper's Bazaar, and Marie Claire all recommend the small company's offerings be included in a well-planned New Orleans itinerary.

They have tours in the Garden District. They have a really neat and unique tour of the Carrollton

neighborhood. They do tours in the French Quarter, and they can customize to anything that you're

interested in. So if it's a different part of the city, if it's a cemetery tour, whatever it may be,

they've got you covered. They do a great job,

and as always, they keep their tour small. So the maximum number of people that they will put out

on a tour is 12, but if only one or two people sign up, they'll go out with a smaller group as well.

So it's really intimate. They're really knowledgeable, all the tour guides.

They just do a great job, so keep them in mind.

Our next sponsor is Accidental Cajun Experiences.

Accidental Cajun Experiences is an immersive culinary tour led by chef James Cullen that takes you into the neighborhoods and behind the scenes.
