Parasol's

Okay let's get one thing out of the way.
Parking here sucks.
It's on the corner and close to a residential neighborhood.
But please don't let this keep you from coming here and trying it. Walked in and a super sweet gal named Carla took my order.
She recommended either the firecracker or the beef sandwich.
I wanted the broiled beef sandwich so here we go! Y'all this thing is delicious.
And messy.
You need a girl and knife to properly tackle it.
But sadly the little to go plastic knife and fork wasn't able to conquer it.
So I ate it deconstructed.
No sweat.
I improvised and overcame.
Had fries on the side which were run of the mill fries but had a nice seasoning on them. The gravy is salty.
Very very salty.
But also very very good.
Take a water pill if you need it before hand, because you'll eat the whole dang sandwich. Carla stopped me and asked how I liked it and gave my feedback and then said "next time you need the hot muffalata" so, when I'm here in Feb guess what I'm getting.
You guessed it.
That. Carla is a sweetheart and made the experience great.
See you soon!

We gave this location 4 stars.
The parking spots were very tight and we were told they can't garauntee a parking spot, I'm guessing they have more rooms then spots, would have been nice to know this upfront, once we parked, we never drove again except to leave three days later.
The service was very good.
The free breakfast was decent.
There's a lot of stuff/restaurants within walking distance.
Our last full day it rained all day, bought cheap throw away ponchos and kept trucking and so did a lot of others, this is New Orleans after all.
We came mainly for the food, glad we did.

I have always loved this Irish Channel bar and in particular their roast beef Po'Boys.
They roast their French bread and cook their own roast beef.
It's simply delicious.
I have been going to this location for over 50 years and have to say it's as good as always.
