Pretty spectacular zoo in the swanky end of town, near Tulane and Loyola. Ride the streetcar down!
Go more for the scenery and people watching than the food. A drink and snack and you'll feel like royalty.
Always a bit of a mob-scene, but chicory coffee and beignets are still worth fighting the crowds. There are chairs in the shop, but I'd grab and go.
Amazing fried chicken, often called the best in town. The food and atmosphere are quintessential New Orleans, among the best you’ll find in town. [Eater 38 Member]
It’s impossible to say any shop has the best po’ boys, but they make a strong claim to that title here. They’re expensive for po’ boys, but they’re large and worth every penny. [Eater 38 Member]
For decor, local renown, and general deliciousness, Casamento's is hard to beat. You can’t go wrong with the chargrilled or raw oysters or the legendary oyster loaf. [Eater 38 Member]
A famous NOLA oddity--the above ground burial plot. STL #1 is the oldest of the three here, and is rumoured to be where Nicholas Cage will be buried upon his demise.
You're here for the bar. After walking around the French Quarter and the River, you'll need a drink, and this place is hidden in plain view.
Need a drink? Stop in and see Lucinda Weed & Liam Deegan for a refreshing cocktail! The two were recently named in Gambit's 26 Craft Cocktail Bartenders You Should Know! Read more.
It's celebrity chef John Besh's place, so skip the food, and head to the bar for Besh's bacon-infused bourbon. Enough said.
This newly-rebuilt restaurant has been in operation since 1932 and is loved by everyone who visits. The specialties are New Orleans favorites, like turtle soup and trout amandine.

Dive bars are just a must, part of New Orleans in so many ways. This one, steps from Tulane, is perfectly tacky and unfussy. Sip an Abita beer, then walk through Tulane down to St. Charles Avenue.
