Wandering through the French Quarter in the pre-dawn hours, my friends and I came across the Tropical Isle at Orleans and Bourbon streets. The neon lights and flags made for a lively atmosphere, at least for that time of the morning. It looked open for a moment, until we noticed the closed sign on the door.
