Old seafood market that was flooded during Katrina. Just opened up about a year ago and is a place for new chefs to start microresturants. There is a great variety of forward thinking fusions chef stations to experience from healthy smoothies, oyster bars, cajun korean, BBQ and much much more. Its budget friendly and a great place to get high quality plates. It's our go to when we can't decide or agree on what to eat.

One of the best restaurants in the City. Go early because there will be a wait but it's totally worth it. We have had guests that love it so much they eat there twice! Its Italian Creole is very fairly priced and decadently amazing. Bring cash and be ready to check your inhibitions at the door.

Bar Tonique

Neat local dive type venue with something going on overnight of the week. Drop in and catch a live band, comedy, side show or even a burlesque act you just never know. I love going on Sunday nights at 8pm for free swing dancing lessons then a community dance to follow.

This is where we always buy our drinks when walking around the quarter. They have an amazing beer selection of singles at great prices. MUCH cheaper than buying a drink on Bourbon or just about anywhere else.
