I once had a three-way make-out with 2 self purported witches in passing on bourbon street. That appealed to younger me somehow. Now, I’d seek out what they call barbecue shrimp- though not cooked on a grill, and maybe ride a riverboat with a belly full of French doughnuts.

Going on a swamp tour, doing a walking tour around the French Quarter, walking around Audubon Park if you’re near there, and the WWII museum is good too. The French Quarter also has lots of art galleries and antique stores.
Magazine street in Uptown is also solid for shopping/antique stores.

Feel obligated to say food stuff because I’m from NOLA haha so here’s my favorites for anybody else interested:
- Beignets: New Orleans Coffee & Beignet Co
- Po Boys: Parkway Tavern (normally has long lines) or Guy’s (more locals)
- Short list of restaurants: Atchafalaya, Brennan’s, Restaurant R’evolution, Arnaud’s, Upperline

Honestly New Orleans is not really a city of activities, you just spend your time walking, exploring, shopping, going from bar to bar (not in a wasted kind of way, just leisurely stopping for a beer whenever you want). Lived there for 4 years and go back annually and the only thing I plan are my restaurant reservations lol, everything else is just kind of hanging out in the city

Sculpture garden in City Park is excellent. Beer gardens all over the city (not fq) are fun. Julia Street galleries are good.

Just got in the Direnzo Mondial and I'm blown away by the quality and "feel" on the wrist, especially with the integrated bracelet. It's not my favorite dial, but feels great on the wrist for $700 and noticeably above other microbrands in my collection (Zelos, Traska)

Thoughts on a late 1st year going in-house? I'm getting close to an offer with a decent corp, in a dream location (Miami) with equal or slightly increased salary (cravath scale). My story is unique because I had significant experience prior to law school that makes me somewhat marketable to the company. While I'm well aware of my limited practice knowledge, I don't feel like I'm actually learning in my current role anyway. I also have zero interest in making partner. Is this too soon to jump?

Should I give my junior the matter?
