We ate at home early Sunday evening so we could walk across the street to La Pomme d’Eve, our little underground bar that shows NFL RedZone. We watched football, although very little of the Saints game, since it had no playoff implications, while we enjoyed Havana Club rum on the rocks.
There is just something different about Havana Club. Even the cheapest three-year-old white rum version is smoother and more flavorful than any other popular brand we get at home.
And there is something different about La Pomme d’Eve. Located in a deep underground in a vaulted cavern, it is open only sporadically. We were the only customers in the place the entire time, but a large bouncer/doorman stands at the street entrance to screen patrons as they enter.
Like I said, there is something different about this place. But the Saints won.
