We Ranked 11 Louisiana Restaurants With Mississippi River Views Worth Savoring

One Louisiana barbecue spot starts serving breakfast at 3:30 in the morning. That’s before most roosters bother to clock in. Grab a seat outside, and big ships drift past just over the levee. Another river town spot opens at 4 a.m. for Cajun barbecue. Some of us can barely find the coffee pot by then.

Is Vampire Café ghoulishly good or a gimmick? Here’s what I thought as a New Orleans native.

It wasn’t the flimsy blood bags flowing with ‘fangria,’ the paper bats dangling from chandeliers or the obscure psychedelic music blaring overheard that first caught my attention at New Orleans Vampire Cafe. It was, rather, the people there. The host stood in front of a snaking line...

A whole roadside business grew out of a 5-acre strawberry patch and the back of a pickup truck. That alone makes me smile. Now the same family sells boudin, hot cracklins, and gator sausage under one roof. The shelves keep going from there. Jams, jellies, honey, and boiled peanuts share...

The Most Beloved Bar in New Orleans Is Still the Real Deal

From Mardi Gras to second lines, New Orleans knows how to let the good times roll. The French Quarter remains one of the city’s most historically rich and charming neighborhoods, but Bourbon Street — with its wall-to-wall T-shirt shops and neon-colored slushies — has a reputation for being a tourist mecca void of personality. But just off the infamous strip, no-frills dive bar Erin Rose has been slinging the city’s best frozen Irish Coffees for 25 years. It’s become a favorite of locals and pro bartenders alike.
