Katie’s (#194, 12/3/2011)
An outstanding mid-city neighborhood joint. It had quite a trek making it back after Katrina (seven feet of water), but they’ve been open a little more than a year and it was very good. I really liked the atmosphere, something … Continue reading
Mike’s on the Avenue* (#193, 11/30/2011)
The Mike’s experience started well with really cool water glasses and Mazzy Star playing (not live). Downside was that it was freezing cold (too many windows and too cold outside?). Food was excellent. I had some pulled pork sliders which … Continue reading
Maple Street Café (#192, 11/27/2011)
This was an excellent discovery. I definitely recommend it for lunch or dinner. Very good and reasonably-priced. I’ve had a variety of things – the oysters amandine stands out in my mind – and definitely go for the stuffed shrimp … Continue reading
Sara’s Bistro* (#191, 11/18/2011)
This was a pretty good stop (located in Riverbend, behind the little min-plaza area), but I should have known there was trouble when I saw awards for “healthiest restaurant.” The Louisiana crawfish eggrolls are a signature dish and were pretty … Continue reading
Twelve Mile Limit (#190, 11/16/2011)
An outstanding NOLA experience…this one cut it close as far as being a restaurant, but I had excellent bbq (pork, white beans…and tater tots). It is a major dive located in a dicey neighborhood, but it has good cocktails – … Continue reading
Café Rani* (#189, 11/14/2011)
An outstanding lunch stop. I had a pesto-crusted chicken pasta which was outstanding. It has a nice courtyard outside and is a pretty good place, might even have to add it to my lunch rotation.
Marigny Brasserie (#188, 11/3/2011)
A Thursday night dinner in the Marigny and it was a decent meal. I had stuffed shrimp, which wasn’t great – too much breading, not enough shrimp. But the calamari was as good as I’ve had in years and they … Continue reading
Ignatius* (#187, 10/31/2011)
This was a Monday lunch stop and a good call as I went for red beans and rice. The best I have had in quite a while (of course, I’m mainly comparing to the diner across the street from the … Continue reading
Johnny White’s* (#186, 10/29/2011)
No. 170 was Johnny White’s on Bourbon Street. The link goes to the sports bar, but we ate upstairs on the balcony. It was the Saturday afternoon of Halloween weekend and we were starving. We tried Port O’ Call, but … Continue reading
Elizabeth’s (#185, 10/23/2011)
Definitely a New Orleans-style breakfast place – very quirky and interesting with a potentially great brunch. Get there early as it will be a long wait, even with small groups. I have actually been twice now; first time, it was … Continue reading
