The Louisiana State Museum has an exhibit of New Orleans beverages from bourbon to Barq's. A cocktail museum opened recently. A Southern Comfort Museum is in the works. And a group dedicated to the many cultures of Southern food is looking to collect oral histories from the city's bartenders.

But more importantly

But then, you might expect liquor exhibits and bartender history in a city where a top attraction is Bourbon Street. OK, it's named after some old French rulers. But they're not around any more. Bars are. The 13 blocks of Bourbon Street include at least 20 bars and cocktail lounges.

And most important of all

and the "go cup" -- plastic cups kept at bars so that if you leave without finishing, you can take your drink with you.

Nothing like a city that makes its own gravy when in rains and has a singular preoccupation with alcohol and food.

All of La (except the dry parishes) allow go-cups. You can even get a daquri to go at a drive thru.... and while you can't drink it while you drive, your passangers can.
