Probably the most iconic restaurant in all of New Orleans. If you want to know how Creole food should be made, this spot, tucked into the beautiful Garden District, is the place to do it. James Beard winner. Has a dress code, but no jacket required.

This is probably my favorite restaurant in the whole city. It is a little expensive, but totally worth it if you want to try and place with creative New Orleans food. They do a fried chicken brunch that is amazing!

The most famous (and best) of the many New Orleans sno-ball stands. Like most sno-ball stands, they are seasonal and close around Halloween until it gets warm again. They have won a James Beard award and seriously deserve it. Expect to have a wait when it is really hot outside.

A unique spot with great live music and excellent food. When you walk in, it will seem like a wine and cheese shop. You buy your wine or cheese and then head out back where the outdoor stage is. You will then be brought a plate of your cheese with a bunch of great crackers, veggies and spreads. They also have a changing menu. It is a very fun spot that feels special and secret.

The Bayou is basically a little river that goes through mid-city (it is also the name of the neighborhood surrounding it). You can canoe or kayak on it. Some folks go out there and bbq and hang out all day. A really pleasant place to walk along and see some interesting parts of New Orleans.
