Locals come to this Marigny spot for great burgers and great jazz, which is tougher to find than it should be on Frenchmen St.
Rock and Roll. Whiskey. Burgers. My homebase, there is something for everyone on both the drinks and the food menu. My favorite is the truffled mac n cheese and their Pimm's cup.
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. The muffuletta, great. The Pimm's Cup, good. But, the Sazerac. Boy. What a Sazerac. Read more.
Arnauds serves up quintessential New Orleans cuisine at its Sunday jazz brunch. Afterward, ask to see the costumes and vintage photographs upstairs in its Mardi Gras Museum.
I highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a history based tour with macabre details. If you're looking for a costumes guide and promises of ghosts.... not the place. Our guide Sandy was great

Happy hour from 4-6, oysters and small plates. Combine that with pecan crunch and a $2.50 mini-bourbon milkshake and an Abita draft, and you have a taste of victory!
Everyone should go to this museum and spend at least one day... then go across the street and eat the American Sector, John Besh's restaurant.
Classic high end New Orleans food and atmosphere. A cross between 5 star elegance and a place where you walk and talk to folks. The Poisson Meunière Amandine and Oysters Rockefeller are to die for.

you must sit in the courtyard! absolutely gorgeous. ordered the chicken and andouille gumbo for brunch, very unique taste and loved it!
The oysters are served with a cucumber-lemon granita and tangerine salsa, a dressing so light and delectable the bivalves can’t help but shine.
Try the daily gumbo, made with popcorn rice. Rich, spicy and flavorful, it's a star among stars. Everything else is as perfectly executed, from the duck confit mac 'n' cheese to the hush puppies.
brunch skeptics would spend their Saturday afternoons here-the fried chicken and biscuits, brioche French toast and perfectly prepared boudin with Coosa Valley grits are all terrific.
crawfish and fontina beignets, served with tarragon aioli. grilled Wagyu strip loin and The Pearl, a cocktail made with Fortaleza reposado tequila, dry sherry, pear liqueur and cardamom ginger.

Go for the trifecta of fried chicken, cochon and shrimp Benedicts. Add a Bloody Mary and a mimosa and you have a superb brunch! Very busy, but if you pitch up at 2pm you should find no queue!
The Mr. B's Orang Julius drink is amazing. Tastes like a creamsicle/dreamsicle. Very sweet, a sweet tooth is a must. Plus, make sure you get the bib for the barbecued shrimp.
Don't miss the smoked sizzling oysters (the shells are heated to 500 degrees then cold-smoked oysters soaked in drawn butter are dropped in, brought to the table semi-raw and sizzling). Read more.
Everything is cooked to perfection. The blue crab pot stickers and the blacked swordfish are beyond excellent! I cannot recommended this place enough. Highly highly recommended!!
