2401 Saint Ann St (Tonti Street), New Orleans, LA
Southern Food Restaurant · Treme - Lafitte · 183 tips and reviews

Tara and KarinaTara and Karina: The fried chicken looks dark enough to call ‘burnt,’ but don’t be fooled—it's the best in town! Get the side of butter beans and a cornbread muffin. Check out our post: http://bit.ly/zebbjA

The Joint is one of TKGO's New Orleans Picks.

2. The Joint

701 Mazant St (at Royal), New Orleans, LA
BBQ Joint · Bywater · 131 tips and reviews

TKGOTKGO: People rave about the pulled pork (which warrants its praise!) but the unsung hero is the melt-in-your-mouth ribs. You may even see Kermit Ruffins stop by before a show at Vaughan's.

Vaughan's Lounge is one of TKGO's New Orleans Picks.

3. Vaughan's Lounge

800 Lesseps St (at Dauphine St), New Orleans, LA
Bar · Bywater · 36 tips and reviews

Tara and KarinaTara and Karina: Local legend Kermit Ruffins plays Thursday nights. Show starts at 8/8:30pm but I recommend coming at 11pm just before the second set, when the (free) red beans & rice are served and the crowd thins.

Domilise's Po-Boys is one of TKGO's New Orleans Picks.

5240 Annunciation St (at Bellecastle St.), New Orleans, LA

Tara and KarinaTara and Karina: The fried oyster po boy ($13) is HEAVEN and a small is big enough. Don't skimp on the dressings! (Check out our blog post: http://bit.ly/zvj12B)

Le Bon Temps Roulé is one of TKGO's New Orleans Picks.

5. Le Bon Temps Roulé

4801 Magazine St (at Bordeaux St.), New Orleans, LA
Bar · Uptown · 32 tips and reviews

Tara and KarinaTara and Karina: Live music (in the back room) and cheap beer never fails to please! And no matter the time of day, the bartender serves a mean bloody mary.

The Court of Two Sisters is one of TKGO's New Orleans Picks.

6. The Court of Two Sisters

8.5
613 Royal St (btwn Toulouse & St. Peter St.), New Orleans, LA
Breakfast Spot · French Quarter · 218 tips and reviews

Tara and KarinaTara and Karina: The brunch buffet is the best in town. You better set a full two hours out for this one—no matter what I tell you is delicious (seafood jambalaya, bananas foster), you're going to try it all yourself.

Jazz Daiquiri Lounge is one of TKGO's New Orleans Picks.

7. Jazz Daiquiri Lounge

7.4
3400 S Claiborne Ave, New Orleans, LA
Cocktail Bar · Milan · 4 tips and reviews

Tara and KarinaTara and Karina: Mixing the rum-only options will give you a slightly weaker drink. Try the combinations on the wall, or mix your own! The large is a little over $6. Thank you NOLA for your open-container policy!
