New Orleans eating

[robfisher]

You guys a killn' me. Since the housing market crash my wings have been clipped back so far it will be a lifetime before I really get to travel again. Mostly what I miss is finding hole in the wall places to eat.

Still trying to talk my wife into trying the place I want to build. Could be I'm really going to miss her one of these days.

...a couple of further thoughts for the rest of your trip thru Louisiana...when it comes to food, New Orleans=Creole and the rest of South La=Cajun, two distinctive types of foods...if you are going to take I10 out of N.O. to maybe I49, when you leave out of Baton Rouge, you will cross the Atchafalaya Swamp on a verrrry long bridge, at the West end of that bridge are the small towns of Henderson and Breaux Bridge(about 120mi from N.O.)...almost ANY restaurant located between them and Lafayette is gonna have good Cajun food...........

Dude, I'm jonesin' for an oyster po'-boy now! We'd always stop at the Boudin Shop in Henderson on our way to Baton Rouge or New Orleans.

Although its a little distracting, there's nothin' like drivin' down I-10 at 80mph while enjoying one of the best po-boys you'll ever have!

Don't get me started about where's a good place to eat in New Orleans...

You can't go wrong with the mom-and-pop place where you see a bunch of cars parked out front or a line out the door (for the most part).

Have to admit, since it may sound touristy, I don't know. Every trip there we love cocktails in the Carousel Bar in The Monteleone Hotel. We do dinner at Galatoires one night and sit downstairs; that's key. Nothing washes down the best Shrimp Remoulade you've ever had like Veuve Clicquot!

Sarah's maiden name is French-Canadian (rhymes with Guichard), so we use that whenever we go out...seems to get us more "immediate" service!:thinking:

...as an added bonus, they always pronounce her name correctly!

Now if you're into the more "trendy" smaller restaurants ... Try Magazine Street ... a street lined with many smaller highly rated restaurants
, art galleries, antique shops , etc. etc. ... and LOTS of shopping opportunities too... Sorta' like a a Yuppie Disneyland...

Thank you very much everyone for all the great information about places to eat in New Orleans and in route to ITG in while in Louisiana. I think we are only going to be able to stay 2 days and new to planned carefully all the eating to ensure we try all the dishes that we will like to sample. I am salivating as I am writing this short notes.

Again Thank you and hope to meet some of you at the gathering.

Parasol's for the best roast beef po'boy.

Coops has a great duck quesadilla.

Don't miss grilled oysters at the Acme Oyster Bar.

Bourbon street is fun if you're a first timer, everybody's got to see it, but it's touristy. I like to go to Frenchman's street, it's more of the locals hang out there.

Tipitina's if you are into music.

I eat here every time I fly home:

Harbor Seafood & Oyster Bar
3203 Williams Blvd, Kenner, LA
(504) 443-6454

Small and nothing fancy at all but delicious and great service!! Owner owns the seafood store right next door so it's all fresh! Located real close to the New Orleans airport.
