Restaurant by airport in New Orleans for New Years Eve? -

We are spending Dec 12 - Jan 1 in New Orleans this year. It is our second trip during this time frame. Our flight leaves on the 1st and we thought we would stay out by the airport our last night. Can you recommend a good place to eat within easy cab ride of the Hilton airport? Or, should we just plan on eating at the hotel?There is NO bad food in New Orleans we have discovered - even hotels and gas stations! :-)

I can t think of any appropriate restaurants really close to the airport. Perhaps one of the other regulars on the New Orleans section knows of some, but I think it s all chain restaurants close to the airport.However, Drago s is in Metairie and is much closer to the airport than downtown:http://www.dragosrestaurant.com/Another choice would be Andrea s, which is also in Metairie:http://www.andreasrestaurant.com/Reservations are important.Bon Appetit!

Florida swimming December thru January? -

How warm is the water in the Florida keys? We live in TN and want a beach vacation. Is it warm enough to swim and snorkel and where at in FL would you recommend for this?

It s plenty warm in the FL Keys to swim in December and January. You can sunbathe, too. The air temperature is usually in the 80 s in the daytime and sunny. Key Largo has good snorkeling and Pennekamp State Park is wonderful. Here is a link to some places to snorkel in Key Largo:http://www.thefloridakeys.com/keylargo/d��

I visited my grandparents in Boca Raton a few years back - in late January. That part of Florida that time of the year, the locals say that only the Canadians go swimming in the ocean that time of the year. While it was not overly warm, I did find it o.k. to swim. However, I am Canadian.It does get warmer as you go further south. So if you re not Canadian, make sure keep going down to the keys.
