A Vacant 1860s Building on Canal Street Now Turns Out a Barrel of Rye a Day

A Creole apothecary named Antoine Amédée Peychaud mixed bitters at his Royal Street pharmacy in the 1830s, and the drink that came out of it eventually got its own building. The Sazerac House opened in October 2019 at the corner of Canal and Magazine, a few hundred yards from the original Sazerac Coffee House. The […]

Bar Pomona cosplays as a famous steakhouse every Halloween. This year is extra special.

If you visit Bar Pomona on a typical night, you’ll find casually dressed cooks chatting up customers as they pour glasses of natural wine and plate light dishes of braised white beans and tinned fish from behind the kitchen counter. On Oct. 31, you’ll find a different kind of...

These Oysters Wear One of New Orleans’ Richest Toppings

Oysters Rockefeller transforms fresh oysters into a hot, deeply savory appetizer beneath a rich green topping of herbs, butter, and other flavorful ingredients. The oysters remain tender and briny while the topping bakes into a fragrant layer with browned edges. Every shell delivers creamy richness, herbaceous flavor, and ocean salinity in one compact serving. The dish looks sophisticated because the shells provide their own natural presentation, arranged across a tray and baked until bubbling. Created in New Orleans and named for extraordinary richness, Oysters Rockefeller still lives up to that reputation whenever the first shell reaches the table.

The Cocktail Hour Opens in New Orleans, Reinventing the Guest Shift

The guest shift has had the same tired script for years: a celebrated bar packs up its greatest hits, flies across the world, pours them for a night or two, and goes home. It's a nice marketing moment. It is almost never a creative one. The Cocktail Hour wants to...

One of New Orleans’ best restaurants deserves Michelin recognition. Here’s why I love it.

The menu? Unique. The atmosphere? Spectacular. The service? Fire. The FOOD? Absolutely delicious. I’m talking about Paladar 511, a local hotspot in the Marigny that is one of my favorite restaurants in New Orleans, and I believe it needs more recognition from The Michelin Guide and James Beard Foundation.

This Enormous Louisiana Market Spans Six Blocks And Welcomes Shoppers All Year

Six full city blocks. That’s how much ground one Louisiana market covers, and it opens its doors every single day of the year, holidays included. The story behind it reaches back further than the city itself. Native Americans traded goods on this riverside spot long before European settlers arrived. I can’t imagine a better place to shop with that much history under your feet.
