Here is my latest GoNola.com piece, a write-up of The Rusty Nail, one of the hardest-to-find bars in the New Orleans Metro Area.  A sample:

Good luck finding The Rusty Nail on your first attempt.  Seriously.  This place is less than five minutes from my apartment and it took me at least 10 tries over my first six months down here before I successfully made it there when actually looking for it.  The fact that its signage faces opposite the traffic flow on the one-way, dead-end street upon which it is located does not make too much of a difference when you take into consideration the fact that the bar is located almost directly underneath I-10 in a part of town with roads that almost surely inspired a man much wiser than myself to coin the term “pear-shaped” to describe unusual urban planning.

The place also happens to be one of my favorite bars in the entire universe, so please excuse me if some parts of the post get a bit fluffy.  I mean, the last time I was there, the bartender let me control the music.  Did you hear what I just said?!?! SHE LET ME CONTROL THE MUSIC.  Enjoy.
