Uptown Gems & Downtown Treasures: Vincent's Guide to the Heart of New Orleans

Hi, I'm Vincent! For those who haven't had the pleasure of meeting me at David's, I'm the guy behind our social media buzz, the orchestrator of online orders, and a familiar face for our in-store sales. But before I found my calling with the beautiful pieces at David's, I was mastering the art of style as a hairstylist. Turns out, the leap from fashioning hair to curating jewelry isn't that far – both require an eye for beauty, detail, and the latest trends. Today, I want to share a slice of my world outside the store, highlighting two spots in New Orleans that resonate with my soul: Superior Seafood for a touch of indulgence and The Historic New Orleans Collection for a dive into our city's rich past.

Superior Seafood: My Happy Hour Haven

There's something magical about the uptown clink and clatter of the St. Charles streetcar, guiding you to one of my all-time favorites, Superior Seafood. Nestled in the heart of New Orleans, this gem offers a Happy Hour experience that's become my personal ritual. Picture this: you're sitting back with a $5 glass of wine or a frosty frozen drink in hand, a $9 half-dozen of the freshest oysters you've ever tasted before you, and the comforting aroma of fresh French bread wafting through the air. The atmosphere is jazzed up with tunes from a live piano player, crafting a vibe that's as inviting as it is unforgettable. And the value – oh, the value! Superior quality at unbeatable prices. It's my go-to for unwinding in style.

The Historic New Orleans Collection: A Dive into the Past

Venturing into the French Quarter, the heart of our city's history beats within The Historic New Orleans Collection. This isn't just a museum; it's a portal to the past. Greeted by a massive digital table right in the lobby, you're offered a bird's eye view of the French Quarter as it stood over 150 years ago. And the best part? It's free. This digital marvel is your entryway into a world filled with stories, artifacts, and a deep dive into New Orleans' rich cultural tapestry.

Why These Spots?

My life revolves around experiences – whether it's savoring the culinary delights of New Orleans or immersing myself in its historical undercurrents. Superior Seafood and The Historic New Orleans Collection have become extensions of my journey, enriching my days with flavors and knowledge. They're pieces of New Orleans that I carry with me, much like the timeless jewelry we cherish at David's.
