A good deal is any deal where both parties are happy with the outcome. Sounds like a winner from where I'm sittin!

By the way, if you like good fresh seafood (softshell crab, boiled mudbugs and shrimp etc..) try Deanie's in Bucktown. You'll get some of the best food in town and avoid the overpriced special event prices in the city. About any NOLA native can tell you how to get there. Another great place in Metarie is Charly G's at the end of Vets. They serve great regional cuisine, are more expensive but also participate in the Idine program. Another good Idine restaraunt is the Ernst Cafe in the Warehouse Dist. It's across Canal Street from the Quarter on the river side of the CBD.

Have agreat time in the Crazy Crescent!
