Guidebook for New Orleans
Food Scene
This is my newest favorite neighborhood restaurant. It just opened last month. It is a perfect combination of old and new New Orleans and has a true home-town vibe. The New Orleans-styled cuisine is authentic and well-priced! I highly recommend the charbroiled oysters and crawfish pasta!

My go-to place for breakfast in the neighborhood. Everything - from the pastries to the cupcakes - are made in house and the breakfast and lunch items will not disappoint. They also have my favorite cup of coffee in the city. I recommend the "healthy grits" option for breakfast and a side of their signature fried potato salad with anything you order. They also have fresh made lemonade to quench your thirst on hot days! Go before 9am on weekends to avoid waiting in line.

A great place to go in to enjoy the best of the French Quarter without a tourist crowd. Their cocktails are amazing and so is their Cuban-inspired food and decor.
