Also: skip Drago's. I know they 'invented' char-grilled, but for my money Deanie's is the best of the "Seafood Three": Drago's, Acme, Deanie's. It's the potatoes in crab-boil. They get me every time.

Also: if you're in the Fr. Qtr. try The Gumbo Shop. You'll never guess what they specialize in...

Just stay away from national chains and you should be OK ;-) Originally Posted by trekker

He's right: but in mentioning that, we have local chains you could try that are good--not Commander's Palace/Jacques Imo's/Muriel's great, but good:

1. New Orleans Hamburger & Seafood. They're everywhere here: uptown, Qtr., about 30 of them on Veteran's. Decent food reasonable price. Best burger in NOLA? No. Best po-boy in NOLA? No. Best fries in NOLA? No. But is it a GOOD burger? Hell yeah. Is the Buffalo Shrimp or Shrimpzilla po-boy a GOOD po-boy? Hell yeah. Are those fries w/garlic sauce on them in the Top THREE fries in NOLA? HELL YEAH!

2. Juan's Flying Burrito. Uptown, Mid-City & now there's one on Baronne next to Jimmy John's. Good Mexican. Probably not the BEST MEXICAN EVER, but really quite good. Also, for NOLA--very reasonably priced.

Sorry... great BBQ in New Orleans is like have great Cajun in Memphis!!

LOL

Smooch!

Thanks!! WOW.. this sounds like fun

Irene's. Maximo's. Bachannals for after in the bywater . Satsuma the next morning for some healthy, hipster breakfast/brunch and a revitalizing juice. Port au call for dinner. I don't know if a wizard makes their baked potatoes. But they are good. Really good. Maybe epiphany inducing. Next morning, take a couple of appointments then head to court of two sisters for brunch. It's a little touristy, but man I love the smell of buffets in the morning (that's right, an apocalypse now ref. That's how I roll). Take another couple of appointments. Dragos for late lunch/dinner if you love oysters. Later, Head to Frenchman street for music and fun. Don't miss sitting at an outside table at marigny brasserie. Foods not much to speak of, but it's the best people watching in town. Go home happy. Originally Posted by chelseabean

Oh DAMMIT I forgot to tell you about BUTCHER!!!!! It's downtown on Andrew Higgins just past Tchoupitoulas. Best. Sandwiches. EVER (that-aren't-po-boys--that's Parkway & w/the possible exception of a little hole-in-the-wall place in Richmond that also does some magical things w/bread, ham & slaw...). Get the Buckboard-Bacon-Melt or the Moroccan-spiced-lamb-w/garlic-aioli-and-cucumbers. OK I know it's weird but I start to feel... warm and... tingly... when I think of those sandwiches. Oh. Oh, my... Would y'all excuse me for a few minutes? Thank you...

Ralph & Cuckoos is a well known - well established place also. Originally Posted by geektoy123

Magazine Street has great shopping and lots of cool cafes...there is an awesome one called Salu!
