Coffee Talk With The Cajun Mamas: New York Adventures
The Big Apple through Cajun eyes! When we recorded our bucket list episode, little did we know an opportunity to visit New York City would arrive so quickly. This trip combined business with pleasure as we earned seats at the strategy table with our company's leadership team while exploring the city of our dreams.
From our very first moments in NYC, we put our street smarts to the test. When approached by a suspiciously helpful "taxi service" at the airport, we trusted our instincts and found the legitimate cab line instead. As we proudly declared throughout our journey, "Cajun Mamas ain't gonna be fooled!" This set the tone for an adventure where we navigated the city safely and confidently, despite warnings from friends back home about muggings and scams.
The authentic New York experience came alive through food, transport, and unexpected discoveries. We savored enormous cream cheese-laden bagels from a police officer-approved shop, rode the subway like locals (complete with a rat sighting!), and discovered a magical vintage flea market that felt divinely placed in our path. Between visiting iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building and solemn moments at the 9/11 Memorial, we learned valuable lessons – like the absolute necessity of comfortable footwear and why carrying Junior's cheesecake around all day in summer heat isn't the best idea.
With help from our New York-transplanted Cajun friend, we navigated the city with confidence, even spotting celebrity Geraldo Rivera on Fifth Avenue. Bryant Park became our favorite urban oasis, and we found joy in having no strict schedule – just the freedom to wander and discover at our own pace.
Have you ever visited a place that exceeded your expectations or faced travel challenges that became cherished memories? We'd love to hear your stories! And while planning your next adventure, remember our sponsor Cajun Family Traditions for authentic Cajun meats that bring Louisiana flavor to your kitchen, no matter where you call home.

Speaker 1:We might even. There's different kinds of sausage too, like the green onion one, and they have one that's like mild. They have one that's a little more spicy. Anyway, it's all good, and Cajun Family Traditions got a good slogan. It's called now that's Cajun, that's Cajun and uh, and it's Cajun. Mama approved, yes, this episode is going to be. Oh, we're gonna just gush for a little while about our trip to New York.
Speaker 2:Yes, so remember when we did this vacation bucket list thing? Uh, we did it not that long ago and we talked about vacation dream trips and I didn't even tell y'all that my bucket list was New York. But I told her you know, I really want to go to New York one day and I don't know when we're going to go, if we ever going to get the opportunity to go, but I'd love to do that. And we were invited to New York. Yes, not long after that episode, it's true.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So we went. Really we went for work, but we went to play too. But with our limelight business we earned a spot at a table with our CEO and our home office team and a select few other beauty guides who earned this trip, and we got to shape the future of our company. We got to be on the decision-making process for several things top-secret things that we can't share yet, but like products, compensation plan, all kind of things and it was a complete honor and privilege and a dream come true for us to have been working so hard and for so long five and six years each we've been with this.
Speaker 1:We've been with limelight and to have a voice and a say so, and just, it was a dream. It really was a dream come true. Our meeting was like a full day on monday, but we went in early, we went in on the friday and so we got to play friday afternoon, all day saturday and all day sunday, yes, and we frolicked as much as we could in the park about the city and it was like I'm so excited just thinking about it because, like every once in a while I'll be at home and I'll be like man.
Speaker 2:I really kind of wish I was in bryant park right now. I really wish I was eating a big liberty bagel, right now you know, but it was just, it was such a special thing, and so, god you know oh, so god, it was so god, such a god thing, and I was like why are you doing this? And he's like well, because you know because, you've been a good and faithful servant that's what I like to think.
Speaker 1:That's what you like to think. You know well, or?
Speaker 2:maybe because you needed a break and you deserved to have a little break, but I don't know. I just everything led up to it. Everything worked out. We earned it, it was just it was so much fun.
Speaker 1:You know, god just keeps showing off for us, because I feel like a lot of these things that we're getting to experience together Like what, what, even, like we both earn things together and it just makes it that much more special it does to be able to go to New York with your best friend.
Speaker 2:That was something, because like there's not I mean there's friends that go, but like not that work in conjunction like we do, and it was like they asked both of us so, and that was like when we went to Mexico and we earned that trip.
Speaker 3:I'm like we earned it, like Mexico and we earned that trip.
Speaker 1:I'm like we earned it like together, and we weren't obviously the only ones that earned it, but it was just like I just feel like a big God wink. Oh yeah, oh yeah, Totally.
Speaker 2:Let's go ahead and talk about Mr Dwayne Chasson and we'll open up this whole entire discussion from top to bottom. All right, Mr Dwayne Chastro is a fleet and sales associate with Barker Buick GMC in Houma, Louisiana. You know buying an automobile is a big decision.

Speaker 2:We fly to New York and then we get off the plane and get our baggage. Oh, tell us what happened okay.
Speaker 1:So we are walking toward the carousel to pick up our baggage and we are approached by a man. Uh, he was nicely dressed, you know. He was look clean, shaven, nicely dressed. And he was like, uh, do y'all need a cab? And I was like kind of off, put just because he came up to us right away and there was nobody else around. But I'm like, yeah, we're gonna need a cab. And he's like okay, when you go get your bags, come back to me and I'm gonna get a cab for you. My name is Frankie, my name is Frankie and I was, and Sarah was like looking at me, like are you serious? Like you, could you trust him and said we ain't going back over there.
Speaker 2:I know I looked at her like I am not going anywhere and this is what we talked about. Yeah, you know, we talked about how we wasn't going to get into a bind like this and here you are Just saying, yeah, sure, ok, I'm coming back.
Speaker 1:I was like no, I just told him not to him away. I was happy yeah, we ain't getting no, going nowhere with Frankie. No, we didn't. So we got our bags and we went outside and cause I knew we had asked a friend of ours that lives in New York I'm like should we get an Uber or should we get a cab? Which one's cheaper? And she said just get a taxi. Okay, uber's way more will be way more, and they have a whole line of taxis waiting and they're clean and there's nothing wrong.
Speaker 2:We didn't even have no smelly. Did you have smelly?
Speaker 1:I think you said there was might have been a little bit, but it was wiped down. You know it was vacuums, it was very clean.
Speaker 2:I mean, it was just the same as an uber, except for probably 30 cheaper yeah, probably.
Speaker 1:But um, so we go outside and I'm looking for the cab line and there's a police officer right there and I asked him. I'm like hey, is it safe to just go get in line and get get a cab? And he's like, yeah, the lines over there. I said OK, because we just were approached by somebody that wanted to get us a cab. And he's like really, and I was like yeah, and he said where we're at, and so I pointed back in there and he said, okay, thank you, ma'am. And he went to go find that man. This man was trying to scan and I was like, are they trying to abduct us or? And, yeah, my friend was like, no, they were just trying to get you to pay a lot more for a ride, because you don't know, no better because you don't know no better so we listened to her, I'm like no, kj, mama, cajun Mamas ain't going to be fooled.
Speaker 1:You hear me, we ain't going to be fooled, you can't fool us.
Speaker 2:Couldn't fool us then, no, no, we didn't get fooled the whole time. We didn't.
Speaker 1:No, nobody scammed us.
Speaker 2:We didn't get mugged you know, like everybody's, like be careful, you're going to get mugged.
Speaker 1:And gonna get mugged and I'm like I didn't see not a one mugging. I didn't see nobody mugging and I didn't get moved correct. Of course we didn't stay on the streets late either. No, we were in bed by 10.
Speaker 2:Yeah at least, and we wouldn't, walk on the streets. I can tell you that we was just uh. Latest we stayed out was when we went to time square yeah which was the first night we got in. So once we got to our hotel safely in the cab, um we went to. We like we just took our. I don't know, did we walk in our swampy clothes?
Speaker 2:I think we walked in oh yeah, we did we didn't change and uh, because our room, our room wasn't ready yet and we went to, uh, empire state building, empire state. It was the only place we paid to go in and it was like 50, but worth it, you know, worth it for the views you have, for sure you have to do something touristy while you're there.
Speaker 1:Right, that was our big touristy moment. I feel like it was, because the rest of the time we just walked and happened upon things and frolic and stopped in and got coffee.
Speaker 2:You snorted, snorted okay, so then we, we did go, we met, we met up. No, no, no, not yet in par state building I'm gonna tell that story and then, uh, it was horrible, we hadn't walked.
Speaker 1:I felt like we hadn't walked that much, but our feet were killing, us killing, and we thought we had brought our comfy shoes.
Speaker 2:We thought we were in our comfy shoes yeah, correct, but an hour into the walk we figured out that that was just not the case. No, so we went to Ghirardelli and we got us a little chocolate and spent way too much on that.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that was a yeah the most expensive little piece of chocolate I had ever bought.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and so and it really wasn't anything different than you could have got at the CVS a whole bag of them, Anyway. So we're sitting there and across the way is a footlocker, and I look at Koa and I'm like, hey, listen, I don't want to spend a whole lot of money, but I got to get some shoes. We have to get some comfortable shoes. I don't know what I'm about to pay.
Speaker 1:Meanwhile we see in every single person walking in tinny, tin, comfortable shoes and I don't care what I'm about to pay. Meanwhile we seeing every single person walking in tinny, tinny shoes. Yeah, nobody had fancy shoes on, not a one. Even if they had on a business suit, they were in tennis shoes. So I'm like, because we had bought dresses, we had brought dresses with us like cute little summer dresses and stuff, and I'm like that's not not gonna look good with tennis shoes, but it does not matter. Like literally nobody cares, no one looks at you for what you're wearing over there. You see it all. So we sure did go get us some tennis sneaks.
Speaker 2:we did and we rocked them all over New York yep and there was that story. I don't care and I didn't. We didn't pay more than we'd have paid over here for them. Yeah, you know, but I respect the nice placement of that shoe store.
Speaker 1:It was in prime placement for us. That day, I feel like it saved our entire trip. Yeah, for sure, it saved our feet, which made us happy Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's the first story we have, mm-hmm, but we're going to talk about our friend, how? Uh-huh?

Speaker 1:She grew up in Acadiana, just like us, and she's been living in New York, for she's a world traveler, her, but she's been living in New York for what?
Speaker 1:12 years, I think she said something like that 13 years yeah so she knows her way around, and so of course, we had to do a little skit with her, because she likes to do skits where she plays like she's a Anthony's Cajun receptionist, marie. So we called into St Anthony's office and we asked for help so we wouldn't get lost in New York City, and St Anthony and Marie sent us a guide, a tour guide, and it was Megan, and we all had our little Gorday Soleil hats on walking into Manhattan, and let me tell you what nobody gave us a second look, not a second look. There's no need to be embarrassed because nobody cares literally nobody cares.
Speaker 2:They're going about their business and that's it.
Speaker 1:So yeah, she took us around and you got to have your first subway ride. That was so fun. The subway is the best way to travel in New York and listen, if you want, to those. Oh my god, the subway. I'm gonna get mugged. It's so scary, it's nasty, it's gross. Maybe in the like 80s or 90s or maybe at night you know, but I've ridden it at night night before and it wasn't. I mean maybe not 2 am, yeah, but it's not bad.
Speaker 2:We just had the best experience, and that is one thing that was my favorite thing I know we did was ride the subway. I mean, I think I probably would have had a heart attack and anxiety attack if I had to figure out which one we were supposed to be on.
Speaker 1:But that was that was my job, she was maps.
Speaker 2:Google maps did me right, did us right yeah so don't worry about that so she, she did all that. But we rode the subway for the first time. And not only did I ride the subway for the first time, but when we were getting on the subway for the first time and not only did I ride the subway for the first time, but when we were getting on the subway, about to get on it, I saw a rat in the subway running not in the subway but no, in the station, yes and scurrying along. You couldn't tell me nothing after that. She was like a ride. Yes, there's a ride. I had the authentic New York experience.
Speaker 1:Only thing missing was a Ninja Turtle.
Speaker 2:Yes, and actually my little nephew, wayne, shout out. Wayne Mott was like hey, what you going to do over there? You going to see some Ninja Turtles.
Speaker 1:You going to see a Ninja Turtle or what? And listen, I saw Splinter. You saw Master Splinter, so why not?
Speaker 2:and I was like when I told him that he thought I was lying probably, but I'm telling you, wayne look, it was big miss koa did we see yeah, we absolutely saw a big rat next time I go I'm gonna look for this. I didn't see no turtles now no, but the rat we got, we sure did all right and then. So we went out to Little Italy and we had, we had an authentic cold brick oven pizza, which was wonderful.
Speaker 1:And then what else did we eat? That was authentic New York. We had the bagels. We went to Liberty.
Speaker 2:Bagels.
Speaker 1:And look, when we walked in this place, there was so many cops, nothing but New York's finest. I said this is the place, this is where the locals eat. This is going to be the best bagel we ever had. And it really was.
Speaker 2:It was and we wanted so many of them and she was like, well, I don't know which one I want to get, and I'm like, let's get what we want, a few. So we ended up getting three bagels, and they're big though y'all Huge bagels. And when they cream cheese them with shmear, there is like at least two inches of shmear in there At least. Okay, I wish I could eat it right now. I know so good, all right, and let me just tell you about the cops in New York.
Speaker 1:They were all good looking there must be a requirement like they are all in shape and all good, looking like New York's finest, like you said, and they fine. You felt real safe.
Speaker 2:I did feel real safe not because not that I don't feel safe around unfortunate looking people, but I was like okay.
Speaker 1:New York. I see you. You I felt safe just because there were so many of them right there and I'm like look, nobody's mugging me today, baby.
Speaker 2:Not in this bagel shop. No, Not in Central Park either.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's another thing. Somebody had commented oh my God, y'all went to Central Park. I stay, I avoid that area. I'm like why, why? It was beautiful and there beautiful and there was a lot of cops there, but we got our little bagels and we found a bench with a great view and we had our breakfast there and it was just magical now let me tell y'all, though right next to us was somebody blazed up okay, that was everywhere everywhere we went it smells like funny cigarettes because it's it's legal there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay. So I had another friend, big sexy text me. He was like I don't, I hope I don't get messed up from a contact high over here, it's everywhere it's everywhere and I'm like, yeah, we smelled it yeah so yeah, but right next to us eating bagels, you know it was just like like that's how come people avoid each other?
Speaker 1:Because, like you, just that's not your vibe.
Speaker 2:So you just go about your business. It wasn't none of my business. He won't do that. That's fine with me. I'm gonna sit right here and enjoy myself and eat my bagels, and eat my bagels.
Speaker 1:So that was just. We even did a little window shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue. That was fun, yeah, but was fun, yeah, but we didn't want to touch anything. No either. No, you just go in and you look and you like how much for that, like for that I don't know, some of that stuff.
Speaker 2:I was like I wouldn't wear that?
Speaker 1:that's icky. Yeah, I wouldn't wear that anyway.
Speaker 2:No, funky looking, no, but it smelled good in that store it smelled like money, smelled like good, good money, and I was walking in with my sling bag on, looking straight like a tourist, oh, and I had, like my Junior's cheesecake hanging off of my bag which, by the way, you walk around with a cheesecake to bring back to your hotel. We couldn't eat that cheesecake. This is what we looked like. We were like debating over whether or not we could eat the cheesecake that had been out all day long.
Speaker 1:In the heat, in the heat, the cheesecake that had been out all day long in the heat, in the heat walking. Don't went to mass with us. We did take our cheesecake to mass. We went to mass at saint patrick's cathedral and what we show did take our cheesecake in there and I'm like, why did we walk around with this all day? We can't eat that. I went to communion with my cheesecake and then we couldn't eat it.
Speaker 2:When she got back, she, she was like hey Siri, how long till I can eat my cheesecake in the sun?
Speaker 1:Yeah, how long is it safe to eat cheesecake whenever it's been out all day and they're like eggs and something else. No Botulism.
Speaker 2:So we threw it away. We did Sadly we did I really wish I would have ate that whole thing and just made myself miserable at the time.
Speaker 1:We were trying to be good so we wouldn't be miserable Lord.
Speaker 2:Oh, my, okay, and so that day too, after mass, we're walking back onto the subway. And who do we see?
Speaker 1:We saw a celebrity, y'all. We did and someone you probably would have never thought of because I never would have thought. We had our eyes open and Megan told us, especially in the area we were in, like Fifth Avenue, she's like watch, you're going to see a celebrity. Tell them who it was.
Speaker 2:And Koa looks at me and she was like, is that who I think it is? And I was like it absolutely is. And it was Geraldo Rivera. Okay, and we just like, oh my god, geraldo, Geraldo, and like I don't know if he heard us like kind of girling you know fangirling, but he just kept on going on his way. You know, he was just a walking and I was like, oh my god, we saw Geraldo yeah, we showed you, so we got to see a celebrity another thing off of our checklist.
Speaker 2:All right, well, we're wrapping up this episode, um, but, um, we're gonna talk about mr duane and then we'll end it up, okay, okay, on a good note okay not that this entire thing wasn't a good note yeah, if y'all can't tell we had a great time.

Speaker 2:there I did, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But, yeah, I would like to see a broadway play. Yeah, um, I would like to. We tried to go to battery park and sit, see the statue of liberty, like, not go. We didn't want to go and spend a whole lot of time because we wanted to walk.
Speaker 3:We wanted to do other things, yeah and um and battery park was closed.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it was pouring down rain at the time it was so um that didn't work out and we didn't walk across the brooklyn bridge, so we could do that next time, maybe.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, we did get to go and see the um ground zero.
Speaker 3:Yes, uh like the monuments there and that was super solemn.
Speaker 2:It was like everything is so loud everywhere you go, but there it's not. It's quiet, it's very quiet, like the water is just you know. It was just beautiful too, and they even put like we didn't know the significance of the rose, but when it's the person's birthday that their name is by, they put a rose by their, the person's name yeah, we saw a rose and I was like, oh, somebody came and left that that's nice.
Speaker 1:and then we overheard a tour guide saying if you see a white rose, it's because it's their birthday.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm like oh my God, Goosebumps, yeah, yeah. Well, I stayed with goosebumps the whole time because it was just like in that area you know was such horror.
Speaker 1:Yeah. You know, that changed the course of history.
Speaker 2:It changed everything it did Yep.
Speaker 1:Everybody remembers where they were.
Speaker 1:I think for 9-11. Yeah, so after that day. Then. Oh, let's talk about the parks real quick, like I had. So I forgot to preface this, but I have been to New York before but it had been many, many, many years. But when I went, a friend and I me and my friend Annie we had gone and we found Bryant Park and it's just like the quaintest little I say little, it was pretty big, yeah, but the best little place to sit and just people watch and it's near the public library, which is a beautiful building. So it's like a grassy knoll, surrounded by beautiful skyscrapers and buildings, and we just, I just it's got a vibe, it's got such a vibe. I love Bryant Park and just to sit and we had a sip of coffee and we saw a robot vacuum, I mean a robot grass cutter machine.
Speaker 2:Yes, a lawnmower. We were making a video and a coffee talk and we saw it and we both died laughing, just busted out. You know, because we were like I cannot believe this is real right now, and I know this might be something you see all the time, but these little girls from Church Point their husbands, get on the lawnmower or walk the lawnmower.
Speaker 1:We definitely don't have robot grass cutters.
