grandmaR Says: We drove towards New Iberia on Louisiana State 182 from Jeanerette, and along the Old Spanish Road with all the big pretty mansions on the bayou side. Eventually we got to Shadows on the Teche and all the signs said to go to the visitor's center across the street first. But...

Freddie's Not Yet Famous BBQ: Don't Miss out on Great BBQ
Budy587 Says: Great food at Freddie's Not Yet Famous BBQ Restaurant. The homemade BBQ and sauce made my tripgreat in New Iberia, La. They have inside Dining as well as outside dinning. The atmosphere is casual and cool looking. Feels like a one of a kind experience. BBQ Ribs or BBQ...
Ryan's Steakhouse, Seafood and Bakery: Buffet Chain
grandmaR Says: I was unaware of this chain (I thought it was a local place) until after we ate at this one in New Iberia. It is apparently like the Golden Coral, the difference being that you can get the meat on the buffet in addition to at the counter. The restaurants are from PA to GA...
The Pelican Grill: It's one of my favorite.
Tshoop Says: I don't know why I like this new reatuarant, but I do. It's a nice atmosphere small, but cute. The food is really nice, great location, and good prices. The Uncle's BBQ burger. Uncle's BBQ sauce is a local sauce with a unique flavor, try it, it's kind of spicy.
Lagniappe Too Restaurant & Café: On Main Street
grandmaR Says: We did not eat here because it was not open, and I am not sure if that was because of the hour/day (it was Saturday close to 4 pm) or if it is permanently closed. The stores on either side were for sale and I do not know if they were a part of this restaurant or not. It is...
grandmaR Says: We had dinner at Duffy's Diner. This is something like Bert's (diner) in Mechanicsville MD except with Tabasco sauce and red beans and rice. A family run operation which is very cheap and good. They have drive in service too, but they are not open on Sunday. They advertise...
I haven't actually been to this theatre. I think it closed during the time we were in the area in 1960. The walking tour website says: "First opened as a movie theatre in 1930 by the Sliman family, the theatre closed in 1960 and stayed dormant and unoccupied until 1994, when a total restoration began following its donation to the City by the Sliman family."
The New Iberia website says: "State Representative Bo Ackal initiated efforts to acquire funding to preserve this "Art Deco" gem and restore it to its useful purpose for the community. As a result of these efforts, the City received a State Capital Outlay Grant in 1995 for the proposed project and work began in 1997. The doors of The Sliman Theater for Performing Arts opened in 1998, since then the theater has established itself as a quality venue for performance art.
"The Sliman Theater is currently host to the widely-acclaimed musical concert series entitled Louisiana Crossroads, presented by the Acadiana Arts Council."
I took the picture from the parking lot next to the theatre, and some of the pavement was mosaic tile probably from a former building that stood there.

Gift Shop: Connected With Shadows on the Teche
grandmaR Says: There is a gift shop at the Shadows visitor's center, but they don't have any on-line purchasing. I didn't buy anything there, so I can't give you any other information about it. If you see or know of a book that you want, you might try phoning them. They do have other...
Stained Glass by Harvey: Tattoos?
grandmaR Says: I took this picture because the tattoo parlour was one of the places that were open on Saturday approaching 4 pm. I have been completely unable to find anything about this place or the stained glass place next to it on the internet. So if anyone recognizes it - please let me...
grandmaR Says: There are little signs with red antique cars on them all over Louisiana marking Scenic Byways. The New Iberia website says:"The Bayou Teche Scenic Byway follows a meandering moss-draped, oak tree-lined course through lush vegetation into the geographical heart of Acadiana....
grandmaR Says: The boardwalk runs along Bayou Teche beginning at the end of Weeks Street, behind Shadows-on-the-Teche, and continuing to Duperier Street Bridge. This short boardwalk has informational signs along its length that talk about the use of the Teche to float logs to market, and...
grandmaR Says: A friend of mine and her sister-in-law and I visited St. Martinsville one afternoon. Bob didn't go so the first time he went was in 2004 when we re-visited New Iberia
grandmaR Says: Another thing we did one Sunday was to go down to Morgan City to watch the Blessing of the Shrimp Fleet.
grandmaR Says: One of the little excursions we made was to a mansion in Franklin Louisiana called Oaklawn. At the time we visited, Oaklawn was in DIRE need of paint. I do not remember whether we went inside or just visited the gardens.The manor house (c 1837) was originally the home of an...
grandmaR Says: Getting to Avery Island was easy - the road was paved and well signed. At LA 329 junction, turn right. Stay on LA 329 until you reach Avery Island. Bob remembers going halfway there and then turning around and coming home. We have been unable to figure out why.There is a...
Shaft28 Says: Although you won't see any gator's in New Iberia's Bayou Teche - you'll see them on the menu.Here'a picture of our totally cool groomscake we had at our wedding in New Iberia. Truly a new thing for this West Coast boy. Getting married!
Shaft28 Says: This picture is from the upstairs of the Gougenheim building in New Iberia. A big hall downstairs, and beautiful accomidations upstairs. I think 9-10 suites.Across the street past the parking lot is the Bayou Teche. Not the best pic of it, but gives you an idea how close...
