Dixie White Chocolate always seemed to be in short supply, but given that people are growing more willing to experiment perhaps it could become more popular in the future. - Stan Chocolate City had a distinctive bitter element - as opposed to the ultra-smooth Dixie.

Dixie White Chocolate always seemed to be in short supply, but given that people are growing more willing to experiment perhaps it could become more popular in the future.

I wonder how similar Crescent City Brewhouse's Chocalate City Ale is to Dixie Brewery's Chocolate Moose Beer. I'll raise a pint of Abita to all of you!

We have gotten to know Danny O'Flaherty quite well, having been to his wonderful Pub about 4-6 times a year for the past 10 years. We attended a "benefit concert" by Danny in Rochester, NY in October and Danny told us the Pub will not reopen. He and his family have relocated to Texas where his wife is from. Yes, it is sad. Danny is a wonderful performer and a terrific person. We will miss not being able to see him in person on our future trips to N.O.

Chocolate City....now that's hilarious. I've seen some fun play on words that brewers have used to name their beers, but this one's near the top! "bitter", eh?

The coming months will tell. How many former residents return, how many musicians return, etc. Convention business may be the most important element in determing what direction things go, and realistically that means 2007 bookings. Let's hope the Jazzfest crowd is closer to normal size than the Mardi Gras crowd. It still won't be pretty walking around outside the Fairgrounds - a hard hit area. - Stan At this point I would use the phrase “hanging in there” before “recovered.”

Wonder if it's permanant. Honestly though, I never saw many people there anyway. Still kinda sad. Good to hear the rest of NOLA seems to have recovered nicely.
