Mapping Out The Perfect New Orleans Picnic

With spring fast approaching, our friends at Gridskipper put together a handy map of places to shop for the perfect gourmet picnic in New Orleans. This is, after all, an ideal time to take in NOLA before the heat gets too unbearable. The map includes Donald Link's genius butcher shop, more than a few legendary local establishments, some booze purveyors, and a po' boy shop to end all arguments. If you're thinking about a trip to the Big Easy any time soon, or just want to take a virtual stroll among the southern green, please do check it out.

Your guide to a perfect lazy afternoon is right this way.>>
