New Orleans: Eat, Drink, See Thread

been many times. One of my favorites

 

They don't even have po'boys on the menu.

 

you can get a decent po boy at a million spots, but what where can you get amazing gnocchi?

 

Don't care when I'm full off a po'boy.

 

Hey all. Coming to town with my GF in a couple of weeks. I've probably been to NOLA 10 times, but I'm a rookie to Frenchmen St. We are staying at Crowne Plaza at corner of Canal and Bourbon. Is it safe for just the two of us to walk to Frenchmen St after dark? I've walked to Port of Call many times, but that was always during the day and usually with more than just one other person. Thanks in advance for any help!

 

yes. Just walk down bourbon and cut over to royal or charters once you pass lafittes. Y’all will be fine

edit: recommend blue Nile and dba

 

My fiancée’s bachelorette is this weekend. They are staying in a large Airbnb near Claiborne and Esplanade.

I haven’t been in a while but I don’t remember that area being all that great.

Anyone have any recommendations on where I can order breakfast/brunch food for 12 on Saturday morning. Delivery preferred but not required.

 

You are such a gentleman.

 

Camelia Grille is about 10 minutes away. Classic uptown spot. Idk if you can order it delivered through a service.

Or you could always just do a bunch of beignets and coffee from Cafe du Monde.

 

that would be an understatement. But it forces you to take a shuttle of some kind which is safer than walking from the quarter to some place.

 

this is the best brunch type food I can find to deliver: https://www.rubybrunch.com/

any good?

 

One of those is close to my place in NOLA. It's decent -- not up to par of the traditional Nola restaurants, but I think it'd be fine for a hungover brunch.

 

thanks. Grub hub, door dash, and Uber eats selections were lacking for that type of food

 

We have a Ruby slipper in Mobile and orange beach if that means anything

 

It’s fine

 

Get the cinnamon roll pancakes if they still have them. Think there was a pancake flight as well. Good hangover food there for sure.

 

Here for 3 weeks, basically until Thanksgiving.

So far have tickets to shows at Tipitina's and Preservation Hall, going to see at least two Pelicans' games, and going to Bears @ Saints on Sunday with the family. Pretty prettttty stoked

 

Anyone ever been to Bayou Bar? Think I'm going to head there tonight.

 

Yeah it’s a great spot with obviously lots of solid dining options right next to you

 

I reviewed Eater's best picks for good food paired with live music: https://nola.eater.com/maps/best-music-venues-with-food-new-orleans-nola

 

Go get weird/late night at Le Bon Temps

 

In my 20s I spent way too much time at Hi-Ho.

Definitely check out Bacchanal.

 

Whats your favorite kind of food?

 

Been to Bacchanal countless times, it's my go-to when friends are visiting.

HiHo is an awesome music venue, but I think their Mexican is overrated AF. But I'm spoiled.

I'm a sucker for Asian cuisine and seafood. Heading to Margie's Grill tonight, never been.

Going to try Mosquito Supper Club one day while I'm here, too.

 

Marjie's is good. I haven't been since COVID.

Other Asian spots that are worth checking out...
LUVI
Miss Shirley's
SukhoThai
Bisutoro on Magazine
Thaihey

 

There's also an Ethiopian place called Sonny's that's near my place that is wonderful

 

Looking for a very specific suggestion for Bama-LSU on Saturday night. My parents will be in town, and they despise crowds and loud noises. My dad also has really bad hearing, so can't do bars or really anything above a low hum. I realize that eliminates like 99% of bars.

Normally I'd just do Rusty Nail, but thinking it will be a little more crowded because of LSU. Is there anywhere that would fit this criteria? Would it be easier to just watch at my place?

 

Cooter Browns may be loud because it is LSU and at night, but it may be viable

 

Or maybe Cosimo's

 

My suggestion was gonna be the American Sports Saloon cause they have personal TV for each table on the upper level patio but they seem to be closed according to Lougle

 

Ate at the bar of Mosquito Supper Club tonight. Fucking A

Softshell shrimp blew me away. Gumbo was top tier. Crab claws and oysters.

Prolly a top 5 Nola meal I've had.

 

Just finished Antoine's brunch, good not great.

There were so many ppl in football jerseys. Was not expecting that.

 

I think post Covid people are just happy for business. I was in commanders last week and was almost in the minority with a jacket

 

Yea, I was pretty underwhelmed. Relatively speaking.

Prolly why there were so many open reservations.

 

Doing Peche tomorrow, love it

 

Got a Hinge date with a local chic tonight and we're going on a dive-bar tour of Treme. Starting at Kermit's Mother-in-Law Lounge, then the Goat, then Kajuns karaoke bar, then St. Roch Tavern.

This girl is going to drink me under the table based on our conversations thus far.

 

yeah but at least you’ll probably get some sloppy drunken sex out of it

 

Unless that whiskey dick catches him...

 

She's just going to take his wallet

 

why is ASS closed?

 

Boy is she going to be disappointed

 

idk

 

That’s a shame. I love their balcony especially when the weather is nice

 

how was she

any dog poop in your belongings this morning?

 

it is beastly and unruly, and it smelleth of patchouli

 

Very uneventful, nothing to write home about. Came home alone.

Did do a thrilling rendition of ol Jim Morrison's People are Strange, though

The Doors are my go-to karaoke because he really just talks in a lot of his songs instead of sings.

 

I'm doing Queen and the song I pick hinges on how much I've had to drink.
