New Orleans recommendations (one night)

Recommended Posts

Wife and I are flying down to Louisiana next Saturday because my grandmother is turning 90 in Hammond.  We're going to stay over in the French Quarter on Saturday night before we spend a few days with them.   We went in fall 2019 and had a great time and stayed in Treme, but this time we'll be much closer to everything.  One thing we definitely want to do is check out a jazz club, so any recommendations would definitely be appreciated.   

Also interested in any recommendations on where to eat.  We already did the coffee/beignets thing at CDM, hurricanes at Pat O'Brien's and all that stuff.  Would really like to find someplace really nice, maybe as a surprise. 

Thanks!

My intel is very old, but I enjoyed a meal at Pere Antoine's on Royal Street. In general I like the Royal Street vibe better for almost everything.

Another place sadly appears closed, Central Grocery and Deli down by Place de France not far from CDM. Good muffalettas.

Honestly I find the best places by strolling around and smelling the food, if that's something you like to do too.

If you're wanting to only stay in the Quarter, GWFins or Restaurant Revolution are your best dinner bets. Good luck on reservations for next weekend though. Jazz playhouse at the Sonesta or Davenport lounge at the Ritz are good fur music. 

If you can get out of the Quarter, hit Peche or Bywater American Bistro for food.  For jazz, dba and three muses on Frenchmen are good, I've never hit up Kermit Ruffins' place, but seen him online from there and he puts on a great show.
