Marie loved how the streets in the French Quarter were aligned in an orderly grid, which encompassed brick and cobblestone sidewalks with historical buildings sandwiched together. Each business sat neatly tucked beneath a wrought iron balcony displaying their wares or menu items. Christmas certainly came alive everywhere with the lights, red velvet bows, ornaments, and wreaths.
The restaurant they chose boasted of Cajun cuisine and French ambiance with aged rustic brown brick walls and wide planked wooden doors that welcomed everyone inside, as well as outside at the alfresco café. The red-ribbon lined garland was strung around the wrought iron gas light fixtures, which harmonized with the table and chairs along the sidewalk. The distant sound of zydeco music echoed throughout the street.
