The Ruby Slipper Cafe on Canal Street in New Orleans

The Brawny Sherpa and I are heading toward St. Louis Cemetery #1 early one morning, walking away from the tourism of Bourbon Street and closer and closer to the real New Orleans on Canal, when we discover the magic of the Ruby Slipper. It’s not quite a diner, not quite a bar, but it is a throwback to old New Orleans. I wish we’d gotten here by streetcar. I wish I’d worn my own ruby slippers. I have a delightful breakfast here anyway, with bellinis and biscuits and grits. In fact, we have two breakfasts here. We are so entranced we visit twice. We’d be regulars if we lived here.
