Really good restaurants are all over Magazine St. and starting to open up on N. Carrollton, where you can avoid the French Quarter.
Sigh,
Realize I’ve been away too long. Funny how when murders happen in Chicago or Detroit, the thread fills up with Chicago and Detroit bashers. This thread so far has several NO boosters. What a city, unlike any other I’ve ever been to. More than its share of troubles, but what a city. Just looked on Google - glad to see that Mandina’s and Tip’s are still going.
I used to live just off of N. Carrollton, a block from the streetcar line. I used to work at a bar at the “turn” of St. Charles and Carrollton called Cooter Brown’s. But we’re talking almost 40 years ago.
Oh, yes. There are other neighborhoods, of course, including the Garden District that have excellent restaurants. But I do love the French Quarter.
