After you spent a couple hours in City Park, go here for local BBQ. The smoked chicken wings are the best in town. Happy Hour from 3-6 is fantastic, and the patio is one of the most comfortable in town.

Neighborhoods
This is a locals neighborhood hangout area. Many fantastic restaurants are on Oak St like Jacques Imo's, DTB, Chiba, Oak, and a number of walkable other places in the area. Bars abound of course, and live music at the Maple Leaf. One of the best parts about Oak Street is getting there. The Streetcar goes directly to Carrollton and Oak and you can pick the street car up on Canal Street and see all of St Charles mansions the entire way there.
