Wander off the main part of the Loop, go south a little bit more, and enter a world a few blocks away in space, but light years in attitude. Situated in a seedy part of town is Buddy Guy's Legends, the best place for blues music in the city. World-class performers such as Eric Clapton have been known to show up unannounced to jam during the late night hours. Buddy Guy, no slouch on the guitar himself, often performs as well. Get there early (it tends to get crowded) and order dinner. The New Orleans Cajun food is as good as the music. Specialties are the Crawfish Etouffe and Andouille Sausage Jambalaya. A local university recently acquired the property this famed bar is located on, and Buddy Guy's may be forced to move. However, the owners hope to find a new location within three blocks of its current site.
