Fantastic croissants. Almond are my favorite, but blueberry and chocolate are great as well. Get a croissant, a coffee, and sit in the window and watch people wander by.

Treme happened here. The great John Boutte plays regular gigs here (and sings the theme song for Treme).
Primarily a wine bar, but they have small plates & snacks that are, 1, filling enough to have for dinner, and 2, delicious enough to bring you here even if you don’t want to drink. [Eater 38 Member]
They do the best half and half snowballs, because rather than just pouring both at the same time they actually do seperate halves for each flavor. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

You can't go wrong with the fish dishes, especially the andouille-crusted fish or pecan-crusted catfish! Also great NOLA classic desserts: bread pudding and bananas foster.
They might be out of krispy kreme bread pudding by the time dessert rolls around, but with all menu items costing $15 or less, you’ll be too full to mind.
you must sit in the courtyard! absolutely gorgeous. ordered the chicken and andouille gumbo for brunch, very unique taste and loved it!

Visit Marie Laveau's grave.. the one with tons of XXX marks that people have drawn for luck. H. Plessy (Plessy vs. Ferguson) is also here. Court case resulted in separate but equal segregation laws.
A must on any trip to NOLA for any music fan (even if there just one night). Great vibe and the talent is always second to none
When they moved from their original location, I was worried...but I want to tell you - I like the new place better. Bowling + drinking + dancing = GREAT TIME.
Check their website - there's often bounce shows on the weekend. If this is the case cancel all your plans and go.

Locals come to this Marigny spot for great burgers and great jazz, which is tougher to find than it should be on Frenchmen St.

A small bookstore full of real gems. The owner is wonderful -- knowledgeable, kind, and very helpful. I can't praise this place enough.
Make sure to hit up the second floor. First editions mixed in with the excellent fiction.
Fun little spot with all sorts of old and new cookbooks. Proprietors are very friendly!
Great bartending team, excellent whiskey and beer selections. Well priced, good music, chill vibes.
The ribs and briskets were tender, juicy, and flavorful - mildly seasoned. Perfect texture of the meat! I don't know what they did to the pork, but it was nothing like what I had in other BBQ joints.
This Seventh Ward restaurant was featured extensively in HBO’s “Treme,” and it's perfect for a Creole or soul food lunch from the lunch buffet. Call for hours. [Eater 38 Member] อ่านเพิ่มเติม
