Dispatch From New Orleans

Where's Zeus?

Zeus is relaxing in front of Ralph's on the Park, a very fancy restaurant across from City Park at 900 City Park Ave. This highly respected restaurant serves what is called "contemporary Creole cuisine." That includes such dishes as turtle soup, baked oysters, Cajun Scotch eggs and Vietnamese-style calamari. See the menu. It's typically a dinner place (with complementary valet parking), but there's Friday lunch and Sunday brunch.

Where's Zeus?

Today, we begin a new feature in which we follow Zeus around New Orleans to see what he's up to. Here, he strolls beside a pavilion at City Park. During summer squalls, when Zeus slows down his pace to sniff and such, the park's picnickers retreat to this pavilion and others conveniently located in the park.

You can read about the park here. The park's website says the park gets more than 14 million visitors a year. But I wonder: is that including dogs? I think not.
