"GW Fins’s celebration of everything seasonal, fresh, and from the water is contagious, with chef Michael Nelson constantly churning out specials, and specialties, that convey the love and care brought to each dish. The white linen French Quarter restaurant adapted quickly during the pandemic, offering dishes that were takeout-appropriate as well as quarts of Nelson’s beloved sauces, soups, and sides; offering delivery for the first time ever; and selling fresh, uncooked seafood from its supplier. That dedication to its product — lobster, fish collars, sheepshead, sea bass, and more — and diners make GW Fins a standout."

"Acme Oyster House — Iberville Street (and other Louisiana locations) We aren’t the biggest oyster fans in the world, so didn’t make Acme a priority, but it was recommended to us several different times on our trip!. If you’re into oysters, don’t miss this place."

"Pêche Seafood Grill, located in the Warehouse District, is a coastal seafood restaurant that offers an extraordinary approach to Old World cooking styles in a modernized environment. The ambiance matches the premise behind the cooking style: Old meets new. Rustic tables, chairs, and awnings juxtapose modern light fixtures, brick walls, and warm natural tones."

"The best fishing hole for miles may be the Warehouse District’s kind-of-rustic, sort-of-industrial dining room, where the great catches include catfish with pickled greens, a Louisiana shrimp roll and a model caramel cake. Small wonder that the James Beard Foundation presented Peche with awards last year for both Best New Restaurant and Best Chef: South."

"About Crawfish: Known as Crawdads and Crawlers, Crawfish (cray-fish) are one of the coolest things to eat in New Orleans. They are only in season from February-June otherwise they would be higher on our list. These mini-lobsters are delicious and you can literately buy them by the bucket full."

"The contents of the sea inspire the art that covers this upmarket restaurant, from pillars of oyster shells to bright coral crab-claw diptychs and huge metallic fish sculptures. Oyster fans will be in heaven (try those dressed in horseradish), while the easily accessible menu romps through blackened-tuna sandwiches, shrimp’n’grits, fried catfish and crab chowder. Proximity to the Superdome means it’s often packed out with hyped-up football fans."

"Borgne is a casual seafood restaurant inspired by a lifetime of fishing Lake Borgne and the local waterways. The menu is built upon sustainable local seafood transformed into delectable classic New Orleans dishes with Isleño influences. This is the place to find rare Gulf delicacies alongside traditional New Orleans classics in a casual atmosphere."

"The Orpheum is an immaculately renovated historic theater with just over 1,400 seats to accommodate concerts, films, and private events. Originally built in 1918, the performance art theatre recently celebrated “100 Years on Stage” (1921-2021)."

"The unassuming Uptown building with no seats may be over 100 years old, but Tips, as it’s affectionately known, only became a music venue in the 1970s. It quickly cemented its place as a New Orleans music institution: Local brass bands are a particular thing to see here. There are no seats, but you'll likely want to be up on your feet for whatever local talent is about to take the stage by storm."

"This renowned Uptown New Orleans establishment is home to some of the coolest shows you can find around. Often voted one of the best big rooms in the country they are typically only open Thursday- Saturday nights they draw some big name acts.

Catch programmes such as Shostakovich, La Bohème and comedian Aziz Ansari this spring."

It originally opened in 1973 as the New Orleans Theater of the Performing Arts and then was renamed after Jackson in 1993. The theater was badly damaged during Hurricane Katrina but reopened in January 2009."

"There are no shortcuts to quality” reads a sign on the cinderblock wall of the city’s most beloved shaver of ice and maker of syrups. Which means you are likely to wait for the pleasure of a creamy-textured snowball, made using a contraption developed in the 1930s by Ernest Hansen and based on sweeteners created by his wife, Mary. Flavors run from old-fashioned cream of nectar to trendy ginger-cayenne."

"SnoBalls are New Orleans' twist on a slushie or snow cone and have been around for ages. Hansen's opened up in 1939 during the Great Depression and has been serving snoballs ever since. With hundreds of flavors and different mixtures of their homemade syrups, you're bound to be satisfied by this delicious summer treat."

"Now that those details are out of the way, know that in a city obsessed with sno balls, that feathery shaved ice at Hansen’s is some of the best in town. They have been around since the 1930s. They make their own syrups, and the correct approach is always to choose one of the cream flavors."

"At this Uptown neighborhood bakery, you can get a taste of king cake year-round. Their light, fluffy, and sweet cake is offered with a variety of fillings and doused with purple, green, and gold sugar."
