If you want to feel like you're at the Lou, go to Snake & Jake's Christmas Club Lounge. 24/7 bar that once had a possum fall through the ceiling.

Tip 2, for oysters in French Quarter, skip Acme line, stand in Felix's line across the street.

Commander's is fancy and expensive and in the Garden District. Lotsa people like it.

Arabella Casa di Pasta is one of my favorites and I'm not surprised my IRL best friend Dax recommended it because he has great taste just like me. Very casual, unpretentious funky sci-fi dork decor, good place to take a group of friends to kick off the night. Good food, good bar. Highly recommend.

My favorite restaurant in the city is Adolfo's on Frenchman Street above the Apple Barrel bar. Expensive and amazing but not super pretentious either. All the art on the walls looks like it's homemade as hell, and that's because Adolfo went dumpster diving behind the Tulane art building for decor. Toilet seat is way too big for the toilet it's on. It makes no sense and is hilarious. Everybody loves the ocean sauce. They discontinued the Chicken Vincent after covid, which is a bummer because it's the best meal I've ever had. Was devastated.

Tip 3 (maybe contested) - skip Cafe Du Monde or just get it to go. Since covid it's not quite same service and you can get good beignets other places.

It's good to do once and the beignets are really good.


BAC, you need to go to La Boulengerie. But get there kinda earlier in the morning because it gets picked over AF

Went in 2020 when LSU beat Clemson in the Natty. It is pretty rough-ridin awesome. Very loud. If they have the tailgate town thing it was fun to go to. Lots of stuff to do with kiddos too. But the stadium is old-ish.

No matter what bar\restaurant you go to, always get a cocktail to go on your way out!

Great one. Almost every place will have plastic cups at the door for transferring any cocktails into as well.

If you don't want to seem like a tourist n00b punk buster, ask for a go cup and call it a go cup.

Do they serve lean at the restaurants/bars?

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

This is a good heads up!  We went there in March and it didn't disappoint.
