Got a few days in the Big Easy this week...starting it off with dinner at the chefs bar at Nola's. Gonna try to get into K Paul's too. And will definitely hit the Gumbo Shop and will try to make it to Mother's for a shrimp PO' boy
Dinner at Nola's tonite
- Thread starter bballbaby
- Start date
My daughter and my parents are flying to NOLA tomorrow for a few days,
Acme oyster house- chargrilled oysters trust me on that one!
Also on royal about 7-8 blocks down there's a restaurant (Antonio's? Something like that). Authentic creole food instead of Cajun fare. White tablecloth type of place but it's good.
Sheraton hotel on canal has the best gumbo in the city no joke- better than any other I've ever had.
I could keep going but hit up at least one of those three things. I used to spend a month or more there during the summer for work and those are my food spots I have to hit up... But of course you really can't go wrong anywhere. Find the nastiest place you can and order the nastiest thing you can- it'll be delicious.

Btw, if you've never been to preservation hall... Go! Lafeets(sp). I can't spell in French lol. Oldest gay bar in the states but it's no longer a gay bar- not that there's anything wrong with that. Super dark, great music, like stepping back in time.
Emerils restaurant was much much MUCH better than Nola's!! Pork chop was outbid this world, had some Orin swift wine and some Justin Cabernet along with creme brûlée and some seriously god appetizers! Loved loved loved all 3 hours of dinner at the chefs bar
Holy crap. I lived in New Orleans for a while and we all used to go to Lafites in exile. Gay club in the quarter. Lots of fun and lots of straight women.
Yes I've been to exile too- great place for a guy like me to get a few free drinks. They're both good bars for sure. My wife and I spent half of a night talking to people in the exile bar.
Lafeets is/was the gay bar. Since it's also the oldest bar in America (or something like that) the city made them move down the street. Hence there is an exile bar.
