I've got an account in Slidell. It's close enough to New Orleans that I could go over there after work, but I'm not really brave enough to walk around the French Quarter by myself at night. I've been many times, so I'll be ok skipping it.
I've driven through Slidell, but never spent time there. Any NOLA area Peas have suggestions for me? My favorite thing about that part of the country is the food. I love cajun food. I love seafood. If there's anything non-foody for me to do on that side of Lake Pontchartrain, I may have time in the evenings. Will be there Monday-Thursday, but staying by the airport Thursday night.

We sometimes stop in Slidell on the way home from New Orleans to eat at Copelands. It is a New Orleans-based chain, but their shrimp ducky (I get it on angel hair pasta) is one of my all-time favorite dishes.
I'm no help on what to do in Slidell - the only times I have traveled specifically to Slidell were for outlet shopping and to visit bars and daiquiri barns when the drinking age was lower in LA. There is a Mardi Gras store visible from I-10 that I have been tempted to stop in and browse.

There is a Mardi Gras store visible from I-10 that I have been tempted to stop in and browse. Outlet shopping, that's a good plan, and I haven't been to a daquiri bar in a long long time. That might be fun. Do they still have drive-through daquiri bars? I used to stop at Copeland's every time we drove through Hattiesburg, Mississippi, which was once or twice a year on our way to Florida. We got one in Little Rock a few years ago and I almost never go. I don't know why, because I do love it. |

The swamp tours are in Slidell and are really fun! We like the Honey Island one
