Excellent! No cover, just a one-drink minimun per set for some fine, straight ahead jazz.
Such a great place. The live music and drinks make up for the fact that you have to be a vulture to snag a table. Once you sit down and starting eating, you'll forget all about vulturehood.
The oldest continually occupied bar in the U.S., this place was once, according to legend, owned by the pirate Jean Lafitte. The tiny open air bar on Bourbon Street pours them cheap and fast. Read more.
Cruise the Mississippi on the paddle-wheeler, which departs from Toulouse Street Wharf. You’ll be treated to live jazz on-deck, and you can opt for lunch or dinner on board if you like. -Travel Editor
Andrew Zimmern made a stop at this legendary eatery, where he sampled Creole cooking tips from the Queen of Creole cooking, Leah Chase.
Andrew Zimmern visited the Treme neighborhood where residents are still rebuilding after the damage left by hurricane Katrina. This special place is going strong, serving their famous fried chicken.
you must sit in the courtyard! absolutely gorgeous. ordered the chicken and andouille gumbo for brunch, very unique taste and loved it!
I eat all over the US and one of the best things that I ever tasted are the chargrilled oysters, please order them.
Most of the menu is straight-up Creole, among the best in town. You will likely have to wait for a seat, but the Maple Leaf Bar is half a block away, so it’s no big deal. [Eater 38 Member]
Everything at this French Quarter shop revolves around lace. It's all handmade—and the prices feel like they're from a gentler era, too: So-cute-it-hurts kids' smocks are $39; napkins are $2.
Features a state-of-the-art wine serving system that, upon inserting a pre-paid store debit card, allows customers to pour an ounce's taste, or half/ full glass. Don't miss the cheese menu. Read more.
This is a sweeping gone with the wind style plantation. Gorgeous trees and grounds. Quarters where they kept slaves and the history.
Do the tour as it's fascinating. Nice to see them highlight the human cost of the slavery used to build the plantation in the exhibits, rather than just brush it aside.
The Evergreen Plantation is the most fully intact plantation complex in the south. It consists of 37 buildings, of which 22 are former slave cabins. Read more.
The tour was great. We had a great tour guide. She kept it fun and really shed a new light on the times of this plantation.
Flavorful Cajun Medley, a sample of delicious Southern Louisiana favorites and Creole shrimp and grits...a must have.
One of the most haunted houses in the U.S. The history here is as gruesome as it gets, too bad it's not open for investigations. Oh and Nicolas Cage used to own it...weird.
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Gloomy. Dark. Perfect. It's like stepping back in time when the Nachez Trace ended here and rafts filled the streets. Read more.
Try the Croque Monsieur: griddled donut, ham, gruyere cheese & bechamel sauce. Available all day.
It's like a jewelry store where beautifully crafted pastry replaces diamonds in the cases. Gelato is incredible, but the macarons are absolutely sinful. My pick is the banana foster or salted caramel.
Arnaud's is an institution. Charles, the maitre'd will take exquisite care of you. No matter what, don't miss bananas foster! Lagniappe the mardi gras museum is to die for.
Tony Bourdain sampled the Oysters Rockefeller, a dish invented at Antoine's, which is the oldest operating restaurant in the United States. Read more.
The museum includes cures for anything that ails you including voodoo potions & other weird medicines. The City of New Orleans operated the museum from 1950-1987, it's now run by a non profit org.
