New Orleans / Food

[Opinions_Vary]

I'm going to New Orleans with some friends this weekend, haven't been there since before Katrina. We are going to Burbon street and we are staying in that general area. Do you guys have recommendations on good places to eat / drink / party? Thanks ahead of time fellas.

Eat at Drago's
Drink a Hand Grenade from Tropical Isle
Party at Cat's Meow, Bourbon Street Blues Company, Pat O's or my favorite, The Penthouse(not if u have old lady with u)

IMO New Orelans is terribly overated for food. I would stick with Dragos, Acme Oyster, of the several Po Boy places around Bourbon. My personal favorite after being drunk is a Lucky Dog fromthe hot dog carts on Bourbon! Hand Grenades are a must but dnt drink more than 1 or 2 or you will be looking for a place to puke.

Port O Call on Esplande, try a burger/filet/ and Monsoon. You are going to be carrying aren't you???

Very true

port o call or drago's for sure....those sweet @$$ hand grenades are a sorry excuse for a hangover if you ask me....if you venture away from Bourbon street head to "monkey Hill" off of magazine, its more of a lounge spot but there are always good lookin women over there

Yeah, I know that the food isn't as good as over here. I just don't want to waste time or $ on bad food and boring bars.

Yep, some bars even have 5 for 1. Just remember to quit buying rounds for you buddies after 6pm. It goes from $5 for 5 beers to $5 per beer, lol. The famous door is a great place too. Every time I go they have a band there and the lead singer looks like a chubby version of Axle Rose and they can jam. Also check out the gold mine about a block off of Bourbon after 11pm. If you like to go to a bar/club with fine girls and dance this is a good place.

Disagree on the bad food, you just have to know where to go.......

Down Magazine Street: Lillette's, Geautreaux's, Upperline

In Quarter: Couvette, La Foret, Bayona, Galatoire's, ACME

Down Esplanade: Lola, Cafe Dega, Jackimos

[Asterisk-Rich]

Galatoires is hands down my favorite restaurant in the NOLA!

Any of the Brennen places are great. Especially Palace Cafe on Royal and Canal.
They gots the bestest crabmeat cheesecake in the world.
The rest of their places have good steaks and seafood, but the cheesecake is killer.
They are all high dollar, but worth it.
GW Fins is 1/2 block West of Bourbon St. on Ibberville or Bienville St. Great seafood.

If you want good views, a couple of the strip clubs on Bourbon have lunch on Wed., good food, good atmosphere.

Chartre St. Cafe has a good lunch menu and it's right off Bourbon on, you guessed it, Chartre St.

[BellPepperHead]

Vincents has the best Italian food I have ever put in my mouth.

your right if you get caught in the tourist traps. They have some very good restaurants in NOLA.

Galatoire's is good. Jacket required and no reservations. Go in early pm and the wait is usally not bad. I've found Deanie's (sp??) seafood in the quarter good and reasonably prices.
