One more

I'm doing one more post on my trip because I think this one deserves its own one.  An Italian restaurant off the beaten tourist path, a sort of a hidden secret, Tony Angello's is a lovely place in New Orleans.  My parents have been going back for quite sometime now, and they have originally found this place through our local American friends.  The owner, Tony, and his staff remember my family and greeted us fondly upon our arrival.

The food and drinks were good, and the atmosphere great.  However, the reason why I wanted to do my own post about Tony Angello's is that this place was completely destroyed by hurricane Katrina and its aftermath of floods.  As we all know, New Orleans suffered a lot from Katrina, and like many other places, Tony Angello's suffered, too.  The floods were so high that you could only see the top of this restaurant's roof, the rest of this quite big building was under water.

Tony Angello's was closed for a couple of years after the hurricane.  It was rebuilt again and now the restaurant is a lovely, thriving business again.

What a nice evening we had.  :-)
