I've got to be there next week. I've got a hotel on Canal Street and no car. Is there any decent food in the city? I tried Bojangles once and wasn't too impressed. Maybe someone can chime in with some different recommendations. :noidea:
If you have money you don’t need, by all means hit Commander’s Palace. Not cheap, but farking amazing.
You don't need a car. Get a bus / train all day pass.
The char broiled oysters at the Casino, I think Orleans.
John Folse restaurant Revolution is good

We did not get a reservation so had to wait for a table to open at the bar. The bone marrow was excellent.
Forget the chains and hit the little gems around the city.
Took the ferry and had a good time at a bar on the other side, just can't remember the name.
I'll ask MSD - she remembers things I swear never happened? :wacko:
I have only been there once and did enjoy it. Hopefully some locals can advise on the hidden great places the local frequent.
For the record, I really like Bojangle's and Popeyes's. :mmph:
I've only been a couple times and am not too knowledgeable about the restuarants, but one of the best meals I had was at a place we just ran across and didn't really look like a restaurant at all - broken screen door, no sign, etc. We were curious, looked inside, saw tables, and went in and sat our arses down and proceeded to eat an incredible meal. So go there and you'll be glad you did.
Thanks all, just for the record, I'm well aware that Bojangles is a chain; however, I did discover another local restaurant that is famous for their fried chicken called Popeyes. I haven't been there yet, but figured I should give it a try. :thumb:
Despite nobody mentioning Popeyes yet, I did get some excellent advice and know because I did try a few places mentioned already, including Mother's, Cafe du Monde, and Central Grocery. Anyway, I'll see how many of these other places I can squeeze in. I'm also at the conference center during the day. I noticed there is the Ugly Dog Saloon and BBQ just two blocks away. Is this ok for a quick lunch?
