Yuki Izakaya

Yuki Izakaya on Frenchman
Went with Jackie and Christopher (her son)
The place is a bit quirky with old Japanese movies projected on the brick wall and rows of Maneki-neko (golden cats) above the bar
Enjoyed curry ramen along with umeshu (plum wine)
Christopher really enjoyed his first bowl of Japanese ramen and shumai dumplings
Jackie enjoyed her Shoyu pork ramen along with hot sake

Hurricane Issac's Aftermath

 
Downed trees all around Uptown
 
Most large enough to leave some damage
Entergy trucks in every neighborhood
 
Tree limb repairs all over

Fallen branches and small trees on every corner

Boarded up houses

Empty grocery stores
