20. The heat melted us so we fought back with refreshing Mediterranean food. We bopped on over to @CourtyardNOLA for the tastiest gyros we’ve had so far in New Orleans. Plus, the AC was nice and cold.
21. Tasty bread & sauce on this beef/lamb gyro at Courtyard Grill. #nola

23. New in NOLA’s Margaret and Chapman introduced us to Cajun Seafood. Read about the Broadmoor restaurant on NOLA.com. It serves up boiled seafood and some Asian dishes. You buy the seafood by the pound and take it elsewhere to eat.
24. Hit up Cajun Seafood in Broadmoor for dinner tonight. #nola
