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

[@BridgetteASmith-jt6sr]

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.

[@kenshores9900]

There is so much to see an do in the Quarter. Then there are places in the garden district also.

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).

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

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.

[@prairietn1]

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.

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

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!

[@emoore4876]

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

[@adrisadventures7850]

New Orleans is my favorite place to eat. It's rare that you have something bad to eat there. Thanks for sharing this.

[@mattbrown193]

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.

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE COMMENT! Thanks, were coming back in May and I will make sure this is on the list!

[@RobdaVegasMailman]

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. ;)

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.

Fantastic hotel I first went there 42 years ago, how time flies. Daisy Dukes is legit and service is excellent!!

[@jamesdaviddupre99]

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.

[@Uniquemiles143]

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

@@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.

Walk past Acme Oyster house and to either Dickie Brennen’s or the Bourbon House.

[@lizz1187]

Ken Shores what about Dragos? Planning a visit soon and seen many good reviews

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

It's on MA LIST! I'll be back in May!!!

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

@@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.

[@kathleencarrigan9281]

The Drago’s in Metairie is where the locals go.

[@kenshores9900]

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!

[@mcquacker9551]

daisy dukes is so good but now it’s only open to 2 pm

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

Thanks for updating us!

[@cokdnlokd1238]

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!

[@sddunlop]

The only place to get good beignets is Cafe du Monde.. Drago's is the best to for Char-Broil oysters.

[@USATheFallen]

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)!

[@quinftbl]

You missed Pascals Manale! It's on Napoleon. BBQ Shrimp! Close to Tulane.

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

I'm taking notes! We will be headed back in May and we will make it happen! Thanks. :D

[@RobdaVegasMailman]

Loved Pascal's back in the day. I also used to hang at Charlie's Steak House, right behind them on Dryades.

[@kenshores9900]

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.

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

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.

[@debbielenoir5472]

Try Arnaud. Bad meal and bad service!!!

[@milwaukeewisconsin3366]

March 2021 and Covid-19 wonder what it looks like now

[@flpninja1]

Dragos is #1 acme is a close #2

[@ivanbecerril4227]

I'm digging his Mercedes cap

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

He works for Mercedes. :)

[@chefantoniowooten6779]

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

Thank you for the recommendations! We’ll check those places out the next time we’re there!

[@timshaw2324]

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.

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

There was absolutely no other place open! 😂

[@BridgetteASmith-jt6sr]

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...

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

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!

[@eamon4279]

I didn’t think it was possible to prefer Acme over Drago’s.

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

Kevsky They tell me I went to the wrong one. We’re gonna fix that soon. 🤓

[@adrisadventures7850]

The carousel bar was fun, but the drink were BLAH.

[@blackceasar2141]

1.Are Hubigs pie still in business? 2. Is French still used for the PoBoys?

[@lucyburr5516]

Black Ceasar I heard that Hubigs is reopening soon-using original recipes and the wax-paper packaging.

[@blackceasar2141]

@@lucyburr5516 thanks for responding

[@tome2266]

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

[@misplacedcajun2325]

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!

[@karenhargis3422]

I would love to see if New Orleans has a place that serves turtle soup

[@vanessabell2601]

Karen Hargis they do, I went there a few months ago and I saw it on multiple menus

[@marytorres129]

Bon temp cafe, best turtle soup and bread pudding as for local inexpensive traditional New Orleans cuisine

[@karenhargis3422]

Thank you

[@lucyburr5516]

Karen Hargis, Brennan’s or Commander’s Palace have great turtle soup. A little pricey but scrumptious

[@misplacedcajun2325]

Galatoire's - very pricy restaurant, but delicious.

[@Pinkrosesandagraveyard]

I’m headed down in a month and a half and allergic to shellfish. Wonder how that’s gonna go? Lol

[@TheUrbanCowgirl]

Uh oh! Is someone going to Mardi Gras?! Don't worry, you'll be too drunk to notice the anaphylactic shock. :P Just kidding, you can eat chicken and sausage gumbo, boudin balls, red beans and rice, creole fried chicken, pralines and beignets! You're going to have a great time!

[@Pinkrosesandagraveyard]

The Urban Cowgirl I’m actually going for a wedding right after Mardi Gras. Hopefully the crowds won’t be as big!

[@nordette]

Did you still get to go?

[@Pinkrosesandagraveyard]

nordette yeah we went the end of February and was a great time.
