WERE GOING BACK IN MAY 2020!! Have suggestions? Want to meet up for drinks? Care to show us your NOLA?! Leave me a comment below! :D
Yesss, Du Monde originated this donut restaurant I remember going there with my kindergarten class and you know how it is through years many restaurants rise up and out and nowadays many have access to our culture, spices, etc. And also emulate Du Monde the donut is ours for sure French, the place you all went to that used to be JAX Brewery the Brewing Company and along the years past Katrina it became retail and other cafes .. If you wish the have Community Crawfish and fixins at lower cost that the French Quarters, but fantastic it's Cajuns Seafoood on N. Claiborne and Esplanade Google it since Katrina they were placed in this Where Magazine as best one year I can't recall, but when I was home working at Ritz Carlton I sent many of our guest there lol they didn't care it was the hood, now all go there lol...There are others but Cajuns is downtown just outside the French Quarters accessibly by Lyft, City Buses. The Esplanade Bus runs right in front of the Cafe that you all visited catch it there with headline City Park will take you to Esplanade and N. Claiborne and you just walk down 1block and half to their address. Get the turkey necks, corn and potatoes too, lol let me know I live in California now and will be there too sometime next month or later.
There is so much to see an do in the Quarter. Then there are places in the garden district also.

Jacques-Imo’s Cafe!
-ThunderFerd51 - Ruby Slipper rocks!
As a born-and-raised New Orleanian, I highly recommend Commander's Palace for lunch. It's across the street from a gorgeous cemetery that gives tours. Check out Stanley's, Surrey's, Irene's, Saffron, Pho Bistro, and Galatoire's (to name a few more).
I think my friend Chris is the chef there! I didn't get there this time but I am going to go. I also think Chris was in the middle of having a baby with his wife! Thanks for dropping by Samantha. :)
Galatoire’s and Tujaque’s in the Quarter.
The great shock after Katrina was the looting of every store on Canal - Godchaux, Maison Blanche and Holmes destroyed.
@@TheUrbanCowgirl I think you are frontin.... Chris who ?
New Orleans is my favorite place to eat. It's rare that you have something bad to eat there. Thanks for sharing this.
Tip from someone who gets to go to NOLA at least once per year. Share meals or you will never get to try everything!!! Have appetizers and drinks in one restaurant and a meal in another. Monteleone has the best brunch in the quarter. Pat O Briens, Acme, Ruby Slipper and Dragos are tourist traps. You can get better food and drinks in some of the more local restaurants.
Dereck and I did a lot of that. It’s an excellent tip!
You’re definitely right, you can’t get near the variety if you don’t share!
Love RnOs in Bucktown, but Deannies (around the corner from RnOs) has some awesome food too. Their mile high seafood platter, BBQ shrimp, and the fried artichoke appetizer are some of my favorites. But, don’t fill up on the free crab boiled new potatoes or you’ll never finish your meal.
Whaaat I love the ruby slipper lol
Another place in the Quarter to try char grilled oysters is Felix's. For late night eats try Buffa's - great dive atmosphere. If you can get yourself there on a Thursday night at 8 when Tom McDermott and Aurora Nealand are performing you'll here some of the most spine tingling soul stirring NOLA music you'll ever experience.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE COMMENT! Thanks, were coming back in May and I will make sure this is on the list!
Buffa's...now this takes me WAY back. Back in the early 90's, a large group of friends from my darts leagues used to do Saturday night tournaments there. Then, we'd do bar crawls all around into the wee hours of Sunday morning. One Sunday during the fall, we combined all of that with a stumbling, hung over breakfast, then a Saints game. My body (especially my head) couldn't hack that punishment these days. ;)
Going for first time in may. Your video has taught me a lot. Such a foodie city
I just arrived at New Orleans and this video is super helpful for exploring the foods. Thank you . Awesome job!!!
We arrive tomorrow night for 3 nights and 2 full days and will be following in your footsteps! Thanks for an awesome video!
So what did you think of New Orleans food?!
We’re going next month for our anniversary. First time to New Orleans for both of us! This video is AWESOME!!!! Thanks for sharing. We like to eat. Longview TX here
Great video! Going to New Orleans in a few weeks and definitely found inspiration here. Thank you for sharing.
Great video. All places I want to try on my first trip
I’m barely 5 minutes in and I’m already ready to book a flight to Nola. Everything sounds incredibly incredible. Thanks for highlighting these eatery’s.
S. D. lol! I will go with you right now. Seriously, just having to watch this over and over again while I edited it was torture! This city is the most amazing place. You don’t get it, till you get it! New Orleans is an American treasure. ❤️🖤💙❤️🖤💙
I disagree ! Cafe Beignet is better than Cafe du Monde. The beignet themselves and the environment is better .
I go once a year. I'll be there next month
S. D. mr. B bbq shirmp is really good! make sure you try it!
@@AH-vz9rr I'm coming back! SO, I will do Cafe du Monde next time just to have been to both. To be honest, I have had enough experience making pastries to know that a beignet is a fairly simple little donut to make, so they probably taste mostly the same. But I will do both and report back! :)
Glad you had a great time!
Thanks! I had the best time making this video and I think I will do more travel videos bc they seem to really help people!
Great video. Super informative! And that sandwich looked DELICIOUS.
If that sandwich was any better I would have had to call the cops.
What a good video! I was there a few years ago and went to many of the same places as you. Thank you!
:) Thank you! I'm planning a new trip in the nest month so let me know if you have any suggestions that we missed! :)
We came back from a week in NOLA 2 days ago. I recommend : number 1 Fin's, followed buy Irene's, Chophouse, Cochon, NOLA, Mr B. are also very good choices.
WERE COMING BACK!!!!! Thanks for posting this. We had some of these on our list and we just didnt make it to them. I will def do Cochon next time and Fin's! I hope you went to Carousel Bar!
Thanks, exactly what I needed to see. Will be there in the weekend of April 24. Will be departing from New Orleans to a cruise.
OMG! A double fun trip for you! :)
I thoroughly enjoyed you guys! Thank you so much for this!
So glad I find your food trip. I will go to Acme because I don't want flour on my oysters. Cheese for me! Thanks
I've always wanted to stay in that hotel. What a great surprise? Sending this to my boyfriend so he can get some good ideas for our next NOLA trip.
Terrific fun!
This is an amazing video 👍🏾
This was a great video
Excellent food!
Thank you, New Orleans is such a dream, they make it easy!
Fantastic hotel I first went there 42 years ago, how time flies. Daisy Dukes is legit and service is excellent!!
good call on Acme, I have had them both as well.
Acme is an overrated shithole
Yes the oysters are amazing.
On your next visit to NOLA Brennan’s & Commander”s Palace are a must
Thanks! There is a lot of places we didn’t get to but we’re planning another trip now that Covid is over!
excellent hotel choice.
keith houin Thank you! I stalk this hotel on Instagram now. 😬
Yummmmm 😋 great video
Thank you! We had fun sharing our adventure!
I grew up there, then moved away, still loving return visits. Staying in the Quarter is convenient but expensive. I went to grade school with a Monteleone son. Nice hotel if you can afford it. I didn't scroll all of the comments, but I would recommend Parkway Tavern near Bayou St. John for great po-boys; they claim to have invented them. No frills picnic or bar dining, but great food. Foodies can find lots of less famous eateries. Yum, enjoy.
Glad you guys had fun here in New Orleans.......I cooked a nice pot of Cajun chicken and smoked andouille Gumbo for the national championship game
Yay! I've got gumbo in the refrigerator right now! Great minds think alike! :)
What a trip. I live in Laredo and am thinking about taking the train to N.O. for 2-3 days. Just not sure if everything is up and running as normal since the darn covid mess.
It’s not! I was there the end of August and there is a new court mandate all the bars are closed unless it’s a restaurant bar also no public drinking but some places will let you slide with a to go cup. Besides that a lot of places are open for business, there’s still many people walking the French Quarter, and tours are still operating. I went on a swamp tour, ghost and vampire, and cemetery although we couldn’t get inside the cemetery because of Covid it was the most informative tour for me. Just wear your mask. I still enjoyed every moment of New Orleans and just booked for January
Thanks!
THANK YOU!
Thanks for the video...we are going by Amtrak train (sleeper car) there this Thursday 6/17/21 we look forward to all of these places you tried!!!
Hope you had fun!!!
@@delanabrown28 it was nice but to me got a lil boring because all you do is eat and get drunk i got burnt out a lil because I missed all the tours waking up late in the hotel from all that eating and drinking lol lol lol
My girlfriends dying to go back to New Orleans recently, saying she's been there 3-4 times and absolutely loves it, while I have yet to been there myself am weary of covid ruining my first time to such a warm and beautiful city, so while some restrictions are in place and may damper some of the traditional fun we may have had, if our trip to New Orleans is anything like you guys, it sounds like foodie lovers dream, you have totally inspired me to take her up on visiting the French Quarters.
--Thanks for making this video, I loved it, great filming and production... you two are a Cute couple. :) :)
Thanks for your kind words! 💓
I'm thinking about vacation here soon thanks for the ideas in your tour
You are welcome. 🥳
Don't really know why I ever left and can only hope to be able to move back there sometime soon. Anyone planning a trip there try the Commander's Palace, Galatoire's, Brennan's for banana fosters, Mahoney's for po-boys, Willie Maes for fried chicken, Pascal Manale for bbq shrimp, The Court of Two Sisters just to name a few. Man, I really need to move back.
OMG!!! NOLA Bloody Mary! The Best! Grilled oysters!!!!!!!
My fave is still Gazebo Cafe! I follow them on Instagram. Beautiful drinks!
I agree with you, acme of dragos for sure.
Café beignet has lighter/bigger beignets. Café du monde is more crunchy and smaller. Depends on what texture you like.
I’m glad y’all enjoyed the Crescent City! But we say “Praw-leen, not Pray-leen!
New Orleans city police department has made great strides in cleaning up its actions, so yeah it’s better. Like everything, improvement is a process.
Cant wait til next month 😊
Did you go?! How was it?
Not yet we leave on Feb 12 we're taking the Amtrak should arrive to new Orleans on the 14 it's a two day ride am so excited can't wait to get there we're staying til the 19th
Can't believe I'll be there for the first time in just under a week!
HOW DID IT GO?!?!?!?!
Wow! Leaving frigid northern il for NOLA tomorrow! Can't wait!
OMG, how did it go!?
It was an awesome trip! The food was incredible second to none! Got hooked on hurricanes and daiquiri too can't wait to go back!
im going in may this year and now i have a ton of things to try!
Oh my gosh! I'm jelly. It's that tastiest city in the world! Have fun!!
Lmaooo this comment didn’t age well
How did it go? 😳
@@This_is_Bambii it didnt LOL
You went to some really great places! But I was looking forward to a fried shrimp po’ boy.
Acme had them!
Can't wait!! My first trip to NOLA in 3 weeks and this vid is making me drool! Thanks!!!!
OMG! That means you are either there now or about to leave! Come back and tell us how it went!! - Sarah
@@TheUrbanCowgirl Trip got delayed for one week, going there Feb 8-11; might be better weather-wise. Will definitely report back!! Thanks!! 🤗
@@bubbletea3459 how it went
@@brittbyler1092 The trip was FANTASTIC!! The entire group gained an average of 5 lbs each, LoL!! Terrific food, terrific music, terrific weather, plenty of pre- Mardi Gras excitement, the week before the madness (and probably the biggest outbreak of covid in the city) Sarah's recommendations were spot-on and we explored some other great spots. Definitely will return once covid is out of the picture.
I arrived here yesterday
You Gotta Go Back and try Deenies Char Broiled Oysters OMG. AMAZING ! Muriels is a Must Too.. Tableau , The Gumbo Shop is AWSOME , And the Avenue Pub in the Garden District for Their Chicken Confeit , Holy Crap !! I have been going to Nola Every Year for Vacation. And have NEVER Had a Bad Meal. Ever...
I am writing all this down! We are going back in May and I'm going to do all viewer recommendations so thank you for your expertise!
Cafe du mo de is a must do when in New Orleans
I know. i know. I def regret not going and plan on rectifying that soon! The other one was a little closer to our hotel. Next time its Cafe du Monde all the way. 😍 Thanks for stopping by!
i wish you had eaten at brennan's in new orleans, nice tour ty
I will def be going to Brennan’s next time. I just got their cookbook recently. Couldn’t go everywhere in this one weekend but I’ve gotten a lot of tips in the comments for next time. 🥰 Thanks for yours!
Very interesting on your channel
Estrella steak and Lobster. 237 Decatur..try the crabcakes ropped with crawfish cream sauce .then go for the bbq shrimp.its the best in the land
That sounds absolutely amazing!!!! 😋😋😋
The food seems so tasty 😍
It was! It truly is such an iconic American food city!!!
@@TheUrbanCowgirl Hope to try it one day !
Bucketlist 👌🏻
I've never been to Cafe Beignet in the morning or when I'm sober. I have however been to the Bourbon street location a few times at like 11:30 pm for drunken snacks. I hardcore crave pastry after a few drinks.
Ha! Yes!!! Me too. Usually at home it's Whataburger. 😜 Thanks for stopping by Lily. Def will be going to Cafe du Monde next time.
I like your guys style. eat and drink non stop. my aspiration.
It was a fast, whirlwind trip for sure! That pretty much sums up our vacations now! Haha
We're doing the same things tommorow in NOLA but for 5 days straight 😘
How did it go?!
Hi Cowgirl. As a visitor to NO for over 40 years I enjoyed your video. I LOVE The Hotel Monteleone and The Carousel Bar. I agree, its hard to get a seat, but I have been lucky most of the time. When you go back to NO try the Hurricane at The Red Fish Grill. They are the BEST. There are so many great restaraunts in NO. Mambo's, Irene's, The Pelican Club, Ed's, Commander's Palace, GW Fins, Brennans to name a few. Like you, I am a BIG fan of the char oysters at Acme. Delicious! There are a lot of poor boy sandwiches but I love the ones at Johnny's. For a cool dive bar in The FQ go to Erin Rose. Have fu. I wiill be there in 3 weeks. Yippie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to see covid has been eradicated in New Orleans....
I’m def going to bring your suggestions on the next trip!
Always get one of the ice cream daiquiri at the gazebo cafe.
Mr Bs and didnt have the BBQ shrimp?
Best Chargrilled Oysters imo City Cafe Baton Rouge.
So, I followed Gazebo Cafe on Instagram (I follow everyone I mention in the videos) and DANG!!!!! I cant believe I missed the ice cream daiquiri! I will def get that when I go back with my sister in law in March. I heard a lot about the Mr. B's bbq shrimp from another chef but I had just gotten bbq shrimp for breakfast (odd). Next time, I will get it! Promise. Is City Cafe in New Orleans or Baton Rouge?
That Texas breakfast he ate looks good
First timer. Great video and recommendations. I'm a foodie with a Culinary Arts background. I was there in October, but friends we're more interested in stripper clubs. If you haven't tried The Country Club do so. It's kinda out of the way but GREAT Sunday Brunch. We were there when the Saints had a home game. You two should schedule a trip back when they have a home game. It's worth the experience...👍
Thanks for the tip! I have not ever heard of the country club there! I will research that for next time. Do you kow the name? I'm glad you had a nice time and next time you should go with another foodie!! 😝 - Sarah
The Urban Cowgirl, that is the name.
www.thecountryclubneworleans.com
heh, I'm going back for Halloween, this 2022, staying at the MonteLeone as well!
We really need to plan a trip back now things are open again. Let me know how it goes!
First, off, I think you guys are great. You are at many of the same places I did! And a few different ones. Thanks for this video.
Aww thank you Dan! We really like traveling vlogging that isn't about us per say, but more about the adventure itself!
My family and I vacationed in NOLA this past Christmas. We've been to Daisy Dukes and Cafe Beignet and loved both places. FYI, don't even bother going to The Bourbon House. It's not worth wasting your money; Trust me!! And don't bother going to The Gumbo Shop. The food's eatable, but not worth the hype. Now for all of you Fried Chicken folk out there, Willie's Chicken Shack is the way to go. They fry their chicken fresh on the spot. It's definitely worth the wait.
Thanks for the tip Reese! There is definitely more places to hit than just these but I liked these places just fine. Excited to try a bunch more in May!
@@TheUrbanCowgirl Have a Great time!
Chicken fried steak, hash browns and eggs sounds great 👍
I'm ready to go back
Take me with youuuuuu!
First off, she is gorgeous!
I am from New Orleans and I think if you were downtown like you guys were you nailed a good start. There are many other restaurants that yall couldn't hit. Here are a few Brenans, Commanders Palace, Arnauds, K-Pauls, Napoleon House, Emerils, Galatoire's, all LONG time classics on the expensive side though . Domilise's Po-Boys, Rocky and Carlos in St Bernard and truthfully so many other great restaurants to choose from.
Thank you Scot! Before Covid we were going to come for Jazz Fest. 🙁 Our trip is delayed but I am still making the list for the next trip! I'd love to hit up some of these places. Thank you for the list! Any hotel suggestions for next time or should we just go back to Monteleone? My sisterinlaw will be coming with so I might get an air bnb.
@@TheUrbanCowgirl Not sure about prices..
Maison de la Luz is a new guest house type of hotel. Had a friend stay there and said it was beautiful and they loved it there. On yelp they have a 5 star rating. I have personally stayed in the Omni Royal and was very pleased with my stay, although the room was a bit small. If you book a room there using any kind or online booking like hotels.com they would not allow us to upgrade to anything larger. Not sure if you will have a vehicle there, but many places you have to pay to park so factor that into the existing hotel bill. Want to say the Omni Royal was charging 25 a day to park. Monrose Row Bed and Breakfast (1839). very old beautiful home with lots of history still within walking distance from the French Quarter. The only other hotels I have been to but haven't really stayed in personally was the Hyatt and the Sheraton which is at the foot of Canal Street. By the way, there is a small ferry there which you guys can take across the Mississippi River to Algiers point couple of bars and restaurants there as well. Enjoy your next trip and please have a Bloody Mary for me. They are the best down there. I currently live in St Louis and miss many things about home. No other place has that type of culture, history and food.
Omelettes at The Clover on Bourbon Street.
The BEST omelettes anywhere!!!!
What they failed to mention at Pat's was the Piano bar. Go there
I smiled a little TOO wide when I saw Daisy Dukes!!😁😁 I used to go there regularly (2-3 times a week) when I was working down there
It was the closest place to our hotel open at that time of night/early morning! :)
I have to know where you got the Brisket t-shirt!
It's at Target in the men's t-shirt area! It's also on their website. :)
There's other places that sell benigns besides CDM. My Mother used to make it for us on Sundays
daisy dukes is so good but now it’s only open to 2 pm
Thanks for updating us!
I'm digging his Mercedes cap
He works for Mercedes. :)
Might I suggest Court of the Two Sisters for their turtle soup next time you visit; it’s incredibly delicious.
YES! That was another one on the list that we just didnt have time for. Next time I hope to have dinner there. And what a cool name, right?
Is Brennans’ still in business? Their Crab Benedict was worth the trip!
@@sandragruhle6288 Brennan's will ALWAYS be in business.
Lived my whole life in Louisiana and never heard of the carousal bar lol.
Britt Byler it was the coolest bar ever. Expensive, but I’m glad I had the experience. You should go!!!
@@TheUrbanCowgirl not 21 sadly
Walk past Acme Oyster house and to either Dickie Brennen’s or the Bourbon House.
Ken Shores what about Dragos?
Planning a visit soon and seen many good reviews
It's on MA LIST! I'll be back in May!!!
@@lizz1187 I will say this, everyone says we went to the wrong Drago's. Don't go to the one at the hotel (I think its the Sheraton on the river), there is another one somewhere around downtown that is the local spot. We will be going back and trying that one in May.
The Drago’s in Metairie is where the locals go.
Doc Savage Broiled seafood. If it weren’t the summer oysters. Shrimp are good as well. Let me know what you think please. Recommending food is difficult because people’s tastes vary so much. The point I was trying to make is that there are 3 good restaurants in on block. You shouldn’t have to wait in line. I didn’t have to wait in line at Bourbon House or Dickie Brennen’s. In fact you have to work to find a bad meal in NOLA. One if not my favorite restaurant cities. Bon Appetite!
these are all very touristy places.
The only place to get good beignets is Cafe du Monde.. Drago's is the best to for Char-Broil oysters.
Should have gone to Molly's at 2 a.m. Wrong place for Beignets - Café Du Monde is the original and best.
keith houin Oh well that will be first on my list for next time! I’m already talking to 3 different friends about going. I think I’ve almost got my friend Jaime convinced that she won’t lose me on bourbon bc she can track my Apple Watch! 😂😂🤘🏻
@@TheUrbanCowgirl - when you go back, message me. I'll tell you some hidden gems and deals.
Yeah but the lines are shorter and apparently they’re just as good as cafe du monde
keith houin just had them at both places two weeks ago, Cafe Du Monde was far better, lighter
@@khouin1 Ok I think I am set to go back in May! Where should I go? DO you have Instagram? I am @Urbancowgirl if you want to talk on there!
You missed Pascals Manale! It's on Napoleon. BBQ Shrimp! Close to Tulane.
I'm taking notes! We will be headed back in May and we will make it happen! Thanks. :D
Loved Pascal's back in the day. I also used to hang at Charlie's Steak House, right behind them on Dryades.
Dang ! she put that whole slice of bread in her mouth!!! WOW !!
Yes, I noticed. Yuck.
Far better places to eat but OK suggestions for a quick, unplanned New Orleans trip. EXCEPT Daisy Dukes; tourist trap.
The carousel bar was fun, but the drink were BLAH.
How did you eat that much food in 2 days? You’re legendary.
Oh. You Can Eat that much and then some there. The Food is Absolutely amazing and Addicting.
Well we would go somewhere and order their most famous thing and a drink and then head to the next place, sharing each dish as we went! You can do it easy with two people. I mean I am a chef though so I live to eat. :D
@@theresa7162 Agreeeee! :D
Dragos is #1 acme is a close #2
March 2021 and Covid-19 wonder what it looks like now
Haven’t eaten at Draggo’s in NOLA, but ate at their restaurant in Baton Rogue a long time ago. Draggo’s has good ratings. To be honest you have to look long and hard to get a bad meal in NOLA.
I agree! We ended up at the Hilton Drago's by complete accident because we had been hanging out with this local couple that we met at the bar and they told us to come meet them at Drago's. So, we google it and show up at the Drago's a couple streets away not realizing that there is 2 Drago's in that area. So, we messed up. :( There is the same thing in Galveston with these 2 famous Italian restaurants with the same name. One is awesome, and the other one is beyond terrible, same family and everything.
Try Arnaud. Bad meal and bad service!!!
You did Drago's wrong... the Metairie Drago's is the original and their ersters (oysters) are exponentially better than the ones downtown in the Hilton...
We’ve been messaged that From locals we were hanging out with the night before. We will correct that on the next video!
Pm if you want to meet up next time.
@@TheUrbanCowgirl I will happily give you guys pointers for the next time you hit NOLA, ironically, I'm currently living in Dallas at the moment for work. I am NOLA born/raised though.
@@noladr We live in Dallas. :P
Most tourists don’t rent cars .. so it’s a Hassle to go to drago’s in Metairie and it’s not that big a difference!
I didn’t think it was possible to prefer Acme over Drago’s.
Kevsky They tell me I went to the wrong one. We’re gonna fix that soon. 🤓
Central Grocery muffeleta not as good as it used to be. Right next door is Progress Grocery and sometimes theirs is better and they still sell the bulgarian feta straight from the cask! wow thats the sh-t!
Look people I'm from Lauderdale the Ruby Slipper is where it's at you hear me?!
I'll go everyday for all 3 meals if i could.
It'll be a waiting process but worth it, go to the casino like we did.
And they'll take your info to call you when a table is available.
And a place called "Who Dats or We Dats" if you have a wing and fries or fried food fetish. And their drinks are fye (fire)!
Nooo as A Native, it's Cafe' Du Monde' the local Favorite and starter of that donut, it's right next door to that place across from Jackson Brewery wrong landmark the History is Cafe Du Monde', sorry...YESS Pat O Brien's for the Hurricane and Cocktails...
I knew I was going to get crap for that. :P We def have things like that in Texas where it's such a part of the community that I refuse to go anywhere else. I will def try cafe du monde next time!
Welp. Guess I gotta get mocktails.
Why is that? :)
I would love to see if New Orleans has a place that serves turtle soup
Karen Hargis they do, I went there a few months ago and I saw it on multiple menus
Bon temp cafe, best turtle soup and bread pudding as for local inexpensive traditional New Orleans cuisine
Thank you
Karen Hargis, Brennan’s or Commander’s Palace have great turtle soup. A little pricey but scrumptious
Galatoire's - very pricy restaurant, but delicious.
Man I went to the hood for food. It was actually cheaper and better try the Green book or just ask around.cafe café Du monde is not it I tried it didn’t like it at all went to chef D’s it was the best food also coco hut For jerk chicken it is amazing
Thank you for the recommendations! We’ll check those places out the next time we’re there!
You went to Daisy Duke's as your first spot? That's the place we go when it's 4am and we're too drunk to care about how food tastes.
There was absolutely no other place open! 😂
You want to know how to make ppl jealous and mad at you at the same time? After you get on your plane either to go home or your next destination and you pull out your Central Grocery Bag and open that package holding your Muffuletta Sandwich! Ppl start talking and either say to who ever they are with DAMN IT, why didn't we do that or look at you like a New Orleans Travel Professional. lol
Also, if you give the muffuletta a few hours, the oils from the olive salad get in the bread more and they are even more delicious!
Looking for gluten free food for myself
