Before World War II, what became Eastern New Orleans consisted mostly of a few small scattered communities in a large expanse of undeveloped land. The area grew in population with major suburban style development from the 1960s to 1990s. In 2005, the area experienced devastating flooding in the levee failure disaster during Hurricane Katrina. Recovery has been slow,[url=http://parajumpersjacketwiki.blogspot.com/][b]http://parajumpersjacketwiki.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], and 6 years later the population is still just a fraction of what it was before Katrina.
Little Vietnam [1] is a Vietnamese neighborhood in Eastern Orleans Parish; take Chef Menteur Highway (US-90) past the urban area to the area from Michoud Boulevard to Alcee Fortier Boulevard. There is an exotic collection of Vietnamese shops, groceries, bakeries, and restaurants. New Orleans boasts some of the best Vietnamese food in North America, and the restaurants here are generally very reasonably priced.
It is pointless to try and get around this area without a car. The principal highway is of course I-10, which most travelers use to rocket through the area without visiting,[url=http://monclerjackedeutschland.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerjackedeutschland.albirank.net/[/b][/url], but US-90 (Chef Menteur Hwy) cuts through or just south of the populated areas, and is the route to take to Little Vietnam or eventually all the way to Fort Pike. Bear in mind that this area is huge-about the size of the entire rest of the city. Plan to be driving for quite a while if going to Fort Pike, closer to the Mississippi State border than it is to the French Quarter. While officially within the city limits, the fort is some twenty miles distant from the urban area, on Highway 90 towards Slidell, at "the Rigolets", a water pass into Lake Pontchartrain. Interesting well preserved old fort built in the 1820s, saw some minor action during the American Civil War. Visitable by appointment only, to be scheduled between the hours of 9AM-5PM. $4, seniors kids under 12 free. This was the city's airport back before the arrival of the big jets and the new New Orleans International airport was built out in Kenner. Lakefront Airport still keeps busy with private and company planes. The 1930s vintage main terminal building and the nearby sculpture fountain by Enrique Alfarez are treats for lovers of Art Deco. The terminal's main fascade was freshly restored in 2010; restoration work on the interior is ongoing. This was formerly the site of the village of Michoud before it was absorbed into New Orleans, then a World War II Defense plant that made landing craft and aircraft, and since 1961 a NASA facility. Apollo Moon Rocket boosters were built here,[url=http://monclerjacketsuk.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerjacketsuk.albirank.net/[/b][/url], and in recent decades, the fuel tanks for the Space Shuttle. With the end of the Shuttle program, the future for NASA Michoud is uncertain. Meanwhile, visitors can park briefly in the little visitor lot on Old Gentilly Road, to look or take a snapshot of an Apollo Saturn V booster on display out front, a pair of smokestacks from the antebellum Michoud Plantation preserved in front of the main building,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Parka Woolrich Online Shop Woolrich Damen Parka Woolrich Deutschland Outlet[/b][/url], and what you can see of the outside of the Assembly Building from this spot. (Visitors are not allowed inside without advance arrangement and a sponsor, although on rare occasions limited numbers of the public are allowed in to part of the facility for special events.)Buy
B Windows Inc, 7391 Read Blvd, ☎ =1 504 241-2297. A small women's fashion boutique in an unexpected location, with clothing,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Outlet[/b][/url], handbags, shoes, etc. This is one of several Vietnamese shopping markets in the area,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Parka[/b][/url], fun to browse for exotic ingredients, salted jellyfish, etc., or just to buy some weird drinks for the road. As a big plus, they sell fresh banh mi (sandwiches). For more tastiness, look outside the store for the Mexican taco truck that is usually parked there,[url=http://cheapsoccercleatsonlinestore.blogspot.com/][b]cheap soccer cleats[/b][/url], representing the area's new Chicano community, which moved in after Katrina to help with the rebuilding. Authenticity reigns over a cuisine that perhaps has a natural home in a city where French finesse similarly was applied to unfamiliar local ingredients against the backdrop of an existing exotic culinary tradition. The menus in the Vietnamese places are usually bilingual in Vietnamese and English. Eastern New Orleans also has a smattering of seafood, po-boy, and similar restaurants,[url=http://parajumpersparkamen.webmium.com/][b]http://parajumpersparkamen.webmium.com/[/b][/url], like most other sections of the city.
Ba Mien Restaurant,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Deutschland[/b][/url], 13235 Chef Menteur, ☎ +1 504 255-0500, [4]. Tu-Su 8AM-7PM. Vietnamese. While often overshadowed by the ravings inspired by Dong Phuong, this is still a great option, with a nicer atmosphere inside-brighter, more spacious, etc. The minty house specials are in particular worth seeking out. $8-33. 8AM-5PM daily. Pretty much the city's standard bearer for banh mi sandwiches, both traditional Vietnamese style and those influenced by the New Orleans po' boy tradition. And perhaps the New Orleans tradition could take a page from the Vietnamese menu-so called "po' boys" in New Orleans often run close to $10 (not really fit for actual po' boys), while you can't find banh mi over $4. For banh mi purists, note that they eschew cilantro here. $2.50-5. M-F 10AM-6PM, Sa 8AM-6PM, Su 8AM-3PM,7PM-11PM. Soul food combination; the chicken is good,[url=http://giuseppezanottiweddingshoes.webmium.com/][b]http://giuseppezanottiweddingshoes.webmium.com/[/b][/url], the waffles are good,[url=http://peutereyjacket.webmium.com/][b]Ricarda Christina and Peuterey Jacket With Front Pockets for sale[/b][/url], and the price is right. The location is a little hard to find in the giant parking lot, but trust that it is there. $7-12. Tu-Sa 10:30AM-4PM. New Orleans is a Creole town, and it's hard to find really excellent down home Cajun cooking within the city limits (as opposed to New Orleans Creole dishes which sometimes have a "Cajun" label stuck on them for visitors). A glance at a map ascertains that 8480 Morrison Rd is indeed in New Orleans, but your taste buds will tell you you're down in Acadiana. We're talking housemade crawfish boudin, smothered rabbit, shrimp etoufee with cornmeal-crusted catfish, and incredible blackened redfish. The full meals here will likely set you back less than $15 a person. The drive from Central New Orleans is fairly short when you compare it to the distance to Cajun Country. $6-14. Tu-Sa 10AM-6PM. When you go to New Orleans, and you find a shack that says "seafood" on the side, and it has enough people packed into and snaking out the front door to alarm a fire marshall, you better come to the party hungry. The crawfish, shrimp,[url=http://cheapsoccercleatsonlinestore.blogspot.com/][b]cheap soccer cleats online store[/b][/url], and crab boils are excellent, as are the profoundly over-stuffed po' boys (if it's in season, they do a soft shell crab po' boy). Bottom line is that if you like seafood fresh, fried, or boiled, you should go way out of your way to find this place-if you are claustrophobic, bring someone else with you to go inside and order. Picnic tables out back. M-F opens 5AM, Sa-Su opens 6AM. A good little Vietnamese-owned bakery with fresh, handmade donuts, popular cakes,[url=http://cheapsoccercleatswithfreeshipping.webmium.com/][b]soccer cleats for sale[/b][/url], some diner options, and a bunch of assorted sandwiches and po' boys available. $3-10. (a short drive east of Lakefront Airport),[url=http://duveticavestesfr.halod.com/][b]Doudoune Duvetica Femme online[/b][/url], ☎ (504) 248-6700. Another great bet out east for local seafood, fried or fresh, along with some other New Orleans standards. Deanie's on Hayne is not to be confused with the Deanie's in the French Quarter. Unsurprisingly, those bacon-wrapped shrimp taste really good. Tu-Sa 3PM-10PM. Four star dining rears its handsome head right by. the Pontchartrain levees east of the Lakefront Airport? This is a surprising location for such a fashionable restaurant, but Dish boasts some really impressive high-end Creole cooking. The upstairs piano bar/cocktail lounge/dance floor spills out onto the rooftop deck,[url=http://cheapsoccercleatswithfreeshipping.webmium.com/][b]http://cheapsoccercleatswithfreeshipping.webmium.com/[/b][/url], with an impressive view over Lake Pontchartrain. Late night entertainment ranges from casual jazz to live bands to DJ nights. $15-35.
