Hey there, everyone! This is Jessica from DomesticatedMe.com. Today, I'm finally
sharing my New Orleans vlog. As some of you know, I went to New Orleans a couple
of weeks ago for a quick weekend trip and I'm really excited to share what I
saw, what I did and mostly what I ate during my time there. So if you like to see
a little bit of My New Orleans then let's get started!
I'm fortunate enough to be married to a New Orleanian so I get to travel to New
Orleans a few times a year and this was a quick weekend getaway for me
My first stop was to a vegan restaurant called Seed. I learned about it from a
fellow YouTube NextUp er - Jasmine Rose
She's a gorgeous beauty vlogger and she happens to be vegan. She fell in love
with this restaurant during her trip this summer and so I knew I had to try it.
The first thing we ate were there nachos which had cashew cheese and cashew
sour cream.
It's so good that even my meat eating husband loved it. I had the
raw Pad Thai as my entrée. It had carrots and cucumber noodles and was a perfect
summer dish.
My husband had the pan fried eggplant po-boy with a side of kale. It was all very
flavorful and really delicious. I'd recommend it to anyone
We also ate at what is probably my favorite restaurant in all of New
Orleans Baru. Baru is a wonderful Latin and Caribbean restaurant on
Magazine Street.
My favorite dish there is the Guacabello. It's avocado and mushroom on large
tortilla chips. We also had their black bean and kale empanadas as well as the
Louisiana Camarones al Ajillo. We tend to stick to their tapas but they also have
delicious entrées.
No trip is complete without a visit to the French Quarter. I love heading there
to shop, eat, people watch and just walk around.
The city is full of photoshoot potential which is why I always shoot an outfit of
the day post while i'm there.
Here are some behind-the-scenes footage of an outfit shoot that I had in The
Quarters. You can see this look and Catalina's outfit of the day post on
DomesticatedMe.com. I'll link to both posts in the description box below.
Speaking of shopping. I always go to one of my absolute favorite New Orleans stores.
It's called Lucy Rose on Magazine. One side of this store has clothes and
accessories and the other side has all their home goods. I always pick up at
least 1 decor piece before I come home.
It's a tradition of ours to go to at least one John Besh restaurant in every
visit. This restaurant is called Luke on St. Charles Avenue. Here we are enjoying
their shrimp etouffee, roasted vegetables, jalapeno grits, crab omelet and fried
chicken.
New Orleans is the perfect place to go antique shoppin. We always regret that
we can't actually bring any of the pieces home with us. One of our favorite places
to window-shop is Discoveries on Magazine. They sell amazing refurbished
or upscaled pieces with really unique and fun twists.
