The people of New Orleans are passionate about eating. Any visitor to the city should experience the regional flavor, but there are important differences between the countrified Cajun, refined Creole, and classic Southern styles of cooking that make up New Orleans cuisine. There also exists a unifying principle, "Fat is flavor." Cream, butter, and oil abound. With this in mind, pace yourself! Hot weather and heavy food can limit your visit to the confines of your hotel room. Stay on the safe side and try to limit yourself to one big meal a day.

The Emeril Thing

Television impresario Emeril Lagasse, featured on the "Food Network," has three restaurants in New Orleans. Try NOLA in the Quarter for a casual night, Delmonico Restaurant & Bar in the Garden District for classic cuisine and service, and the eponymous Emeril's in the Warehouse District for an evening of sophistication.

Downtown/French Quarter

Tourists are always at risk of getting an expensive, average-tasting meal in the Quarter. The tourist industry spawned many mediocre restaurants that prioritize location over taste, but on the plus side, a truly bad meal is difficult to find anywhere in New Orleans. Avoid the trendy, or the handful of chain restaurants, in favor of the little holes in the wall.

Quality service usually comes at a high price in the Quarter, but you are also paying for a slice of history: a seat in some of the oldest fine dining establishments in the country. In any of the classic Creole-French restaurants, like (Arnaud's and Brennan's, you will have a satisfying experience laden with such traditional delicacies as Oysters Rockefeller, Trout Meuniere, Turtle Soup, and Banana's Foster.

For those in search of something more nouveau and intimate, the Quarter also offers the acclaimed Bayona (a four-star bargain), the gorgeous Gamay, the Italian-Creole Bacco and the romantic Bella Luna, which overlooks the Mississippi River.

There are many places to have a casual lunch. Briny oyster shooters can be had at ACME Oyster House, or a mixed-meat Muffeletta sandwich from the Central Grocery always hits the spot. After lunch, or even better for breakfast, move on to the sticky French pastry at La Marquise.

Old and New

A scattering of miscellaneous downtown restaurants represents just about everything that New Orleans has to offer. The downtown area has everything from old-school grease joints to cutting-edge bistros. Some places worth noting include the classy Gerard's Downtown in the Central Business District and the exotic Marisolin the Faubourg Marigny.

For old-time favorites that never cease to please, New Orleanians go to the no-nonsense Mandina's or the BBQ shrimp palace, Pascal's Manale.

Brunch

Sundays can be difficult for dining, as many of New Orleans' better restaurants close for the day. Fortunately, glorious options still exist, most especially the Brennan family's famous Commander's Palace, the former stomping-ground of celebrity chefs Emeril Lagasse and Paul Prudhomme. Fun alternatives to downtown hotel buffets include the Gospel brunch at the House of Blues and the Camellia Grill, where playful waiters serve your meal at a kitschy 1950s-style counter. For the full-on Southern buffet, check out Court of the Two Sisters. Locals like to put this granddaddy of buffets down, but it has its merits, including solid bread pudding, Dixieland jazz, and a beautiful view of the Quarter.

To de-mystify some of the restaurant menus and grocery store shelves, here's a glossary you might find helpful:

Adouille (ahn doo' ee): A spicy pork sausage mostly used in gumbo and jambalaya.

Beignet (ben yay'): Almost a doughnut, but these are light, square, have no hole in the middle, and are covered with powdered sugar. You want to try one? Three words then, Cafe Du Monde.

Boudin (boo dan'): A spicy pork sausage filled with onions, cooked rice, and herbs. It's a favorite ingredient of New Orleans cooking superstar Emeril Lagasse.

Chicory (chick' o ree): An endive-like root roasted, ground, and used to flavor coffee. You won't have to go far to find a cup of chicory-flavored coffee in New Orleans. The most famous cup of this unique blend is at Cafe Du Monde, but other local coffeehouses also serve the local staple.

Crawfish: Pronouncing this freshwater crustacean as “cray-fish” will only make it obvious that you're a tourist. Always say it so that “craw” rhymes with “paw,” or better yet, call them mudbugs! These tasty critters are the center of attention at large outdoor social gatherings called "crawfish boils," and also appear on the mildly lewd T-shirts that make reference to the proper way of eating a crawfish. Try them with a new twist at such New Southern fusion temples as Gabrielle.

Etouffee (ay' too fay): This term means the dish is smothered with a dark roux, or tomato-based sauce. Typically, etouffee involves stewed crawfish with onions, celery, and bell peppers served over a bed of hot white rice. Try a delicious version at the House of Blues or even the food court at the Riverwalk Mall.

Grits: Ground hominy grain served at most breakfast tables in the city. The proper “Southern” manner of eating grits is to top the bowl with a hearty spoonful of butter and a few dashes of salt and pepper.

Gumbo (gum bow): A thick soup made from file, a ground sassafras root, and a hearty mixture of shrimp, crab claws, okra, sausage and rice. The Gumbo Shop in the French Quarter is the no-brainer place to sample a hot bowl of this stew-like concoction. Keep in mind lesser known, but possibly even better, venues such as Joey K's and Zachary's Creole Cuisine.

Jambalaya (jum' ba lie' ya): Everything but the kitchen sink! That's the best way to describe the ingredients of this rice-based dish, usually spicy-hot, stock full of chicken, shrimp, sausage, celery, green peppers and everything in-between. Mother's on Poydras Street has plenty of home cooked and delicious food, but their version of this Creole dish explains the long lines to get in the restaurant's door.

King Cake: You won't be able to find these extra-large doughnut pastries topped with purple, gold and green candied sugar unless you're in New Orleans between King's Day (January 6) and Mardi Gras Day. A tiny plastic baby is hidden inside the cake, and tradition requires that the person who finds the baby in their slice should buy the next King Cake.

Po-boys: Nearly a half loaf of French bread split open and stuffed with your choice of fried oysters, fried shrimp, soft-shelled crab, roast beef or even French fries. The term “dressed” indicates you'd like your po-boy with shredded lettuce, tomato, mayo and hot sauce. The best places that serve po-boys are definitely joints, perfect for a lunchtime break. Local favorites include Uglesich's Restaurant & Bar, Liuzza's, Domilise's, and Parasol's.

Praline (pra leen'): A sinful candied brown sugar, pecans and sweet syrup confection. Cruise by Aunt Sally's on Decatur Street and watch pralines being made before your very eyes! Then, of course, partake in the pleasurable consumption of the creations.

Red Beans and Rice: Kidney beans simmered all day with meat, ham, sausage, and milder seasonings than most Creole dishes, then served over rice. Everywhere across the city, you'll find red beans as the plate de jour on Mondays. It's a New Orleans' tradition stemming from the days of yore when Mondays were laundry day and whatever was on the stove had to be maintenance free. Tasty renditions can be found everywhere from pricey K-Paul's to the soul-food haven of Dunbar's.

Shrimp Creole: Shrimp, garlic, onion, bell pepper and tomatoes stewed and served over rice.

Washing it down

Many people flock to New Orleans for the simple truth that alcohol is everywhere; in the bars, on the sidewalks, in the streets. From the impressive wine lists of the elite Grill Room in the Windsor Court Hotel to the many to-go daiquiri shops on festive Bourbon Street, folks in New Orleans like to drink and they don't like to wait until the weekend to partake of the spirits.

A somewhat high-style cocktail life does exist in the city, most notably at the decadently good-natured Red Room and higher-end hotel lounges like the International House's Loa. However, the heart and soul of the city's drinking culture lies in its low-key bars. Laid-back hang-outs with names like Snake and Jake's, the Satellite Bar, and Le Bon Temps Roule attract an interesting mix of students, celebrities, faded intellectuals, and serious barflies. In short, these are marvelous places to blend in and be entertained.

A dream that began with Arnaud Cazenave in 1918 lives on today. In 1978 the restaurant was acquired by Archie and Jane Casbarian and restored to its original splendor. The refurbished mosaic tile floor, as well as interior columns and antique ceiling fans, recapture the aura or early 20th century New Orleans. This grande dame of Creole cuisine is a sparkling jewel in the crown of New Orleans' fine restaurants. The menu features classic dishes as well as more nouvelle creations. Always excellent is the Shrimp Arnaud in remoulade sauce, the Oyster Stew and the Beef Wellington. Of course, the favorite for dessert is the fine Creme Brulee. Dinner entrees start at $24. A lunch menu features a less expensive table d'hote (fixed-price) selection along with an a la carte menu.

Commander's Palace is particularly known for its turtle soup. Other standouts include the Mississippi Roasted Quail Stuffed with Creole Crawfish Sausage and, for dessert, the Creole Bread Pudding Soufflé.

French Quarter


 New Orleans
United States
 The French Quarter, or Vieux Carre in French, is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans. It lies in the crescent of the Mississippi River and consists of fairly narrow streets, reminiscent of European city planning, that reveal hidden courtyards and look up to wrought iron balconies. The architecture in the Quarter typically dates to the late 18th- and early 19th-centuries, and draws on French and Spanish influences. In daytime, the French Quarter, especially the area around Jackson Square, is filled with tourists, street performers, and the occasional conman. At night, the French Quarter transforms into the stereotypical party scene. Barhopping college students, adventurous suburbanites, tourists, and practitioners of the world's oldest profession all populate the area until the wee hours.

 This is the premier New Orleans residential neighborhood, boasting the tremendous oak tree lined Saint Charles Avenue as its most-famed street, and home after home epitomizing the antebellum's Greek Revival architecture. Only a walking tour will do this dazzling district the justice it deserves. If you visit the city, you must see the lush, overgrown gardens and grand mansions that line these streets.

This delightfully old fashioned restaurant is a solid family oriented establishment. Simply casual without a lot of fuss is the overall picture of Joey K's. With patrons that vary from the single businessman to a couple with children, this is an eatery for all walks of life. Depending on the day of the week you can enjoy, corned beef and cabbage ,lamb shank and mustard greens or meatloaf. But never fear, on any given day you may have pan fried trout topped with crab meat and shrimp, the fabulous gumbo, fried seafood platters and a children's menu of grilled cheese or spaghetti with meatballs.

K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen


Cajun cooking at its best

http://www.kpauls.com/ 		Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans.

This newly refurbished and expanded house, originally built in 1834, offers Cajun cuisine by Chef Paul Prudhomme, who made his debut in 1979. The main floor remains the first choice for the casual diner. The second floor is more "dressy" and requires reservations. You can also dine on the balcony or in an intimate al fresco courtyard. Chef Paul's cuisine combines Creole and Cajun into what he describes as "Louisiana cooking." Not only is his food authentic, but you would also be hard pressed to find anything fresher. K-Paul's "no freezers" rule applies to everything on the menu, so even the daily specials adhere to this high standard of culinary excellence. Fried catfish fingers and bronzed salmon are just two of the many tantalizing items on the menu.

Take a short bus ride down Esplanade Avenue and discover this cafe near the racetrack. Locals have been keeping this favorite haunt a secret for far too long. The no frills appearance offers a Mardi Gras decor, with memorabilia that is never taken down. The kitchen here quite possibly serves the best gumbo in town. You may follow that with fried shrimp, catfish or a platter of oysters. The homemade salad dressings are also delicious.

http://www.madinas.com 		Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans.

Among a long list of funky local joints, this is a classic New Orleans neighborhood restaurant. Owned and operated by the Madina family since the late 1800s, the menu has not changed much over the last 50 years. And you'll be thankful, because everything they make is quite tasty. Appetizers include fried onion rings, shrimp remoulade and crawfish cakes. Specials range from trout meuniere to red beans and rice with Italian sausage. If you're craving seafood you can't go wrong with the shrimp or oyster loaf (available in season). For the finishing touch, try the Creole bread pudding.

Mardi Gras


City-Wide Party
 1 Poydras Street
New Orleans, LA 70130
United States
http://www.mardigrasneworleans... 		Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans.

This carnival is the Crescent City's biggest party of the year and one of the best-known celebrations in the world. Taking place annually on Fat Tuesday (the day before Lent on the Christian calendar) and the days leading up to it, parties begin in the morning and last until midnight. The parades are put on by social clubs called Krewes. Beautiful floats with costumed Krewe members roll down the streets all day long for a week, throwing all kinds of things from the floats to the watching crowds. The most cherished of the "throws" is a golden coconut, which can be had at the Zulu parade on Mardi Gras day. Mardi Gras is also knowned for drunken revelry and streets overflowing with people. If you want to avoid some of the worst of it, make sure you go to some of the uptown parades instead. Please note that prices for everything from hotel rooms to food go through the roof, so bring lots of money and make reservations up to a year in advance.

"Good food" and "cheap" are words that foodies in New Orleans love to find all under one roof. The lines here are a true testament to the food, if not to the great prices. The lines really are long- sometimes out the door. So if you're going and it's cool, wear a coat.Things like atmosphere and decor would only increase the overhead expense so they are not relevant here. Pictures of numerous famous patrons line the plain walls; but no one comes for the scenery. It's all about the food, especially the overstuffed po-boys. Also available here some of the best breakfasts in the Crescent City.

This restaurant has 'new' New Orleans cuisine with a distinctive French flair. The 'English comes to the South' character is obvious in the 19th century British paintings and the selection of frog leg tea dishes. Begin your meal with a cup of English tea. Then, move on to entrees such as the Blackened Halibut with jambalaya or a signature dish of Chinese-style smoked lobster with fried spinach and stir-fried vegetables. And finally, order the Grill Room special Crème Brule served with a mountain of fruit.

Menu selections include fine seafood, delicious steak, and Italian specialties.

Warehouse District


 New Orleans
United States
 Having outgrown the once-appropriate title, this historic New Orleans' neighborhood is no longer frequented by blue-collar factory workers. Instead, it is now a vibrant arts district populated by the city's young professionals. Some of the best art galleries in the city sit beside restaurants that offer excellent cuisine. In addition, locals and tourists crowd into the streets of the district during festivals such as Art for Art's Sake, when plenty of wine, cheese, gumbo, and art clutter the sidewalks and the shops.

The pink granite facade may seem a bit unassuming to the outside observer, but on the inside it is obvious why Windsor holds the title of New Orleans' premier luxury hotel. Accommodations are posh and spacious with all the standard features. Italian marble, antique furnishings, marble baths, French doors, and kitchenettes are just few of the features found in the luxurious suites. Guests can also visit the in-suite spa or relax at the rooftop pool. The downstairs corridors feature classic artwork, and the second floor offers a reading area, yet, amid this splendor, children are welcome.
