down and out on the streets of new orleans street musician cafe maspero

the hard life of a street musician on a cold new orleans day.  he was revived with french onion soup from Cafe Maspero stood in line for around 30 minutes to get in for their "traditional New Orleans sandwiches" (Muffaletta).  food was a bit salty, but it was cheap and it was warm inside.  the food revived the kids as they had crashed from all that sugar for breakfast.  The place was also once used as a slave exchange.
