Coming to see the Choo Choo was fun. The really cool part is there are multiple things you can do at this location. Check out the historic train station, the Choo Choo and grab breakfast or a coffee at the Frothy Monkey which is inside the station. Or if it is later in the day get dinner or cocktails at Nic and Norman's (Norman Reedus of Walking Dead). Or walk over to The Comedy Catch or SONGBIRDS GUITAR AND POP CULTURE MUSEUM.

Good food and views of the river. One of my favorites. Lunch or dinner. The crab cakes, blackened shrimp & po-boy are our favorites. They have a full bar. The only down side is you do have to pay for parking. I think it was $6-8. If you park along the street you still have to pay but it is like $1 per hour.
