Food Scene
Casual Creole tavern for gumbo, slow-simmered corned beef & signature BBQ shrimp po'-boys. Please keep in mind that BBQ shrimp in New Orleans is shrimp baked in a ton of butter — not sure how that’s BBQ? Having said that, the BBQ shrimp po-boy will expand your waist and blow your mind!

Coop’s slightly spicy Cajun fried chicken is served with savory rabbit jambalaya and sweet coleslaw, making for a truly delightful sensory experience. Soak that part in because you may need it to tolerate the oft-obnoxious drunkards that tend to line up for this always-busy Quarter haunt. Be warned: The service is often...not the best.

Dooky Chase is a Treme institution known for many things: its iconic 95-year-old chef and owner Leah Chase, the incredible gumbo, its place in the Civil Rights Movement. The fried chicken, a regular menu item on Friday nights, is just another reason on a long list of why the spot is a national treasure. Other Friday night items to watch out for are shrimp Clemenceau, chicken Creole, and stuffed shrimp.

Often considered one of the best fried chicken offerings in the country, this Treme landmark’s wet-batter recipe sets it apart from nearly every other fried chicken in town, with a crispiness beyond reproach. Plus, the sides, such as butter beans, pretty much rule. So go stand in line at Willie Mae’s already!

Drinks & Nightlife
On Bourbon Street, you'll see everything -- bars, restaurants, strip clubs, chachkie shops and who knows what else? Fair warning, Bourbon Street is for the open-minded adventurous type, and it's definitely not a child-friendly environment. The only locals you'll see there are the ones working there -- it's definitely not a locals hangout. Tourists, tourists, tourists! But if you must go, don't stay long because there's much more to see in New Orleans.

A classic Creole bar with an upscale twist. This is an old-school New Orleans bar named for the champagne cocktail, and it still feels like a step back in time. Attached to Arnaud's, one of the city's Creole grande dame restaurants, the spot's decor is lush, the light is dim, and local legend Chris Hannah helms the bar, which has many liquor options besides the eponymous drink. The bubbly French 75 is the perfect beverage to toast any occasion.

Erin Rose has the feel of a real locals joint, with a lot of regulars, an amazing jukebox, simple-but-potent beverages, and one of the best Bloody Marys in the city.
