Thousands of Super Bowl fans were partying at Bourbon Street and dazzling and celebrity full parties on Friday night with less than 48 hours for the Super Bowl.
But four miles through New Orleans, a picturesque French restaurant in the relaxed neighborhood and largely residential of the Uptown became the center of the festivities.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift stun to the locals when they went to the sophisticated restaurant 'Lilette', which is marketed as 'the sexiest restaurant in the city'.
The cameras blinked, the hordes of fans gathered to take a look, and social networks fell fire with the same question: Are they really out of two nights before the Super Bowl?
Later it was learned that Kelce was not the only star of the Kansas City bosses in taking his eye off the prize. This is a business trip after all.
They joined Patrick and Brittany Mahomes in a private dining room, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the main restaurant full of stars where Joe Montana and Jennifer Coolidge were among the guests.

The quartet stayed for a few hours, but as his voice was run on social networks, Swifties hopes to take a look at his hero gathered outside to take a look.
Kelce and Swift left just after 10 pm, limiting a night that has left Chiefs fans worried about their mind, can focus on other things and not on the eagles of Philadelphia on Sunday.
The decision to leave has seen Kelce and Swift be accused of hypocrisy after both promised not to let external distractions affect their preparation for the game.
Last year before the victory of the Chiefs over the 49ers of San Francisco in Las Vegas, Kelce gave a fairly strong opinion of why players should not be away from home in the construction of a great game.
Speaking to millions of listeners in his new height podcast, the Chiefs star told his brother Jason: “We have a week, we do what we have to do, so we can celebrate in Las Vegas for the rest of our lives” .
He also arrived a few days after Swift was supposedly “worried” that his presence in the city could move Kelce's attention and the tresses of three turbas from the Super Bowl of the bosses.
According to reports, Swift wanted the game, and his accumulation, it was Kelce and his team, especially if they make history.
“Taylor doesn't want to be the center of attention,” said a source. 'She just wants to support Travis and help him concentrate on the game.
“She wants Travis to enjoy her experience in the Super Bowl week and be 110% for Sunday, since she is dreaming of him making history of the Super Bowl and reaching another dream of his, winning another Super Bowl and making a mob of three”.

But when leaving publicly only 48 hours before the beginning at the Superdome, Kelce has only put critics on red alert if the chiefs lose to the Eagles.
Chariah Gordon, whose fiance is the open receiver of the Chiefs, Mecole Hardman Jr., revealed in November that Andy Reid prevents a strict left touch at 11 pm to his players.
It seems that Kelce has not broken the rules of the team or the league, but it is the optics and practiced on Saturday as expected.
Should the two leaders of the bosses really be out and so close to a game that defines the race?
They have the opportunity to make history at the NFL on Sunday. No team has won three Super Bowls in a row, but now, if they lose, questions will be asked why Kelce and Mahomes were having dinner in New Orleans.
One thing we do is that Swift would not have stayed with Kelce at the Marriott Hotel in the Chiefs.
The NFL rules prevent the WAG from staying with their partners the night before the games. They can stay at the same hotel but cannot be in the same room.
The coaches and players have spent the last two weeks since the AFC championship game won on the Buffalo Bills perfecting their game plan for the Eagles and crossing it in practice.
The nights before the game are often dedicated to building team camaraderie with group dinners, games and other activities. It is rare for players to come out so close to the start.
Kelce has been asked about his relationship with Swift several times in New Orleans
Kelce's mischief are a clear comparison with how Julian Edelman used to prepare for Super Bowls with New England patriots.
Speaking of his routine on the eve of the game, he once said: 'Eat. Then we have meetings, generally. Review the game plan, check the entire call sheet.
'And then I take some melatonin and faint. I like to be on bed at 9 and watch some television. Take a movie and then end up falling asleep.
While the Chiefs fans in Bourbon Street absorbed the images of their two main players in the city, some wondered nervously if they had taken out their eye from the ball.
Social networks were also filled with opinions about the surprise excursion, with a fan who label Kelce 'unfocused'.
Another aggregate: 'bad look. Kelce is supposed to be locked up and watching movies. I am sure that the exit could have waited.
A third person said: 'Normally, players do not come out the week before playing in the Super Bowl because of how seriously they take the game, or so they have told me. He even saw an old clip of that kind of Kelce saying that.
Only Kelce and Mahomes will know if the night was a distraction.
However, one thing is sure, if they do not act in the Superdome and the Chiefs lose, their night departure has given fans ammunition to criticize them.
