- We were standing in a grocery store (Breaux Mart) aisle looking at some spicy Cajun mustard, and the guy shopping for croutons next to us said, "Have you ever tried that? It's fantastic." Then he went on with his shopping.
- We were in a restaurant (Pho Tau Bay) one day looking at the menu, and the guy at the table next to us leaned over and said, "Have you ever been here? Try the chicken salad," and then continued conversing with his tablemate.
- We were standing outside a wine shop (Swirl) contemplating going in, and a couple sitting al fresco told us not only about a wine tasting there in an hour, but about a great new restaurant across the street (Lola's) where we went over and had dinner.
- You're not going to believe this one, but it's absolutely true! We were parking our car to go into a coffee shop (Rue de la Course), and a guy came out on the balcony across the street and called to us to get our attention. He then told us they were giving out $150 parking tickets for parking in that direction on that side of the street. We moved our car, walked up one block and saw a meter maid!
It's like people are nice here on purpose. In fact, the unofficial city motto is, "Be nice or leave!" and in our opinion they're actually living it.
