Being an artistic city, there are many public murals in New Orleans, however, here are just a few to highlight.<\/p>\n

I was unaware of these, having never been to Ralph’s on the Park<\/a> until recently (view up close versions if you take the virtual tour on this link). These murals located in the downstairs dining area are painted by Tony Green<\/a>, a very talented artist and musician, who happened to be my parents’ French Quarter neighbor for a time while they had their condo across the street and since he visits Venice, Italy annually, he knows my cousins — small world, indeed. These capture an era gone by but still alive with New Orleanians’ eternal party spirit. The contemporary Creole cuisine, by the way is fabulous!<\/p>\n

\"Murals<\/a><\/p>\n

As an aside, another restaurant to recommend (and there are countless exceptional ones in New Orleans too many to mention) would be Herbsaint<\/a> (check out the murals that I missed seeing). It’s a New Orleans staple but I had never eaten there. My good friend Shauna and I took the afternoon to experience their fine cuisine and I thought it most fitting since the Louisiana Legislature had just voted the Sazerac<\/a> (made with Herbsaint) as its official state cocktail.<\/p>\n

I love this realistic clarinet mural that I see almost every time I venture downtown. It’s painted by Robert Dafford on the side of the New Orleans Holiday Inn Hotel and makes the best use of the non-punctuated, elongated horizontal wall space and again, captures that New Orleans living-life-to-the-fullest spirit by referring to its music.<\/p>\n

There are many more but I’ll mention one other, the Luzianne Tea Mural<\/em> near Camp Street, downtown. I was in a rush so I couldn’t stop to take a picture this time but I was able to find it on Dogbert10’s Flickr images<\/a> of iconographic New Orleans’ Neon signs and locations.
