I love good food and a local vibe. If you want to experience NOLA away from the quarter, then check out these recommendations.
If you can go before 7p on a Fri/Sat, then you'll beat the crowds. Absolutely everything is delicious on this menu. The most tender and perfectly fried catfish I've ever had. Get it with the mac and cheese and red beans and rice (not on the menu, but they'll do it). The chargrilled oysters are amazing, as well as the Pasta on the Bayou. And if you dare, wash it all down with a Bow Wow, a punch drink with 10 shots!

Walking distance from the house, it is on most tourist's list of "Must Eat" places. It has a fun, cool atmosphere, delicious food and vegans can enjoy as well! Ask for the vegan red beans and rice or the quinoa salad ;)

They have locations all over town, and they are all good. The Freret location is closest to the house and also has other fun places around. Ever had Alligator or Duck hot dogs?! Well, you've come to the right place! What about crawfish etouffee as a topping?? This place will make you love hot dogs! They have three different vegan hot dog options and the toppings are endless. Don't discount this hot dog experience!

A delicious brunch spot! They close at 3p, so go early. The shrimp and grits are to die for and the banana pancake can be easily shared by two people. They have an amazing combination of local New Orleans recipes and Latin cuisine. I've only ever eaten from their breakfast menu, but they have lunch as well. Vegan and vegetarian options are marked on the menu. They swap out eggs for tofu scramble for FREE!!

Their newest location is on Oak St. and is a 5 min walk away!! Try them all out and tell me what you think. Delicious burritos and fresh ingredients. They also have happy hour specials every day before 7p, and vegan-friendly options (the Veggie Punk burrito with no cheese is my favorite)!

Vegan eats!

Believe it or not, New Orleans can be pretty vegan-friendly if you know where to go. Good thing I can help you!
Oh yes, you can be vegan AND enjoy NOLA classics!! Everything here is vegan and it's oh so good. Amazing prices as well!! It's more of a pick up and go spot, but the best places are.

I bet you didn't know that New Orleans has AMAZING Vietnamese food, did you?! And ones with vegan options!! Mint Modern has the best vegan Pho on the east bank (if you want to make your way to the westbank, I'll give you recommendations). The broth is perfectly seasoned and you can get it with tofu or extra veggies. They also make a vegan tofu Bahn Mi, but make sure to tell them you need it vegan. Otherwise, it's vegetarian.

Vegan-friendly Mexican food! My favorite is the Veggie Punk burrito (with no cheese). They also have other vegan burritos and taco options. They have tons of veggie options to satisfy your taste buds! Go before 7p most days and enjoy their happy hour deals. This location is a 5 min walk away!

Happy Hour!!!

New Orleans knows how to party, and you can't party well without a great happy hour. You're lucky that I am a happy hour queen. Enjoy my recommendations!
Take the streetcar right to their front door! Weekdays from 4-6:30p you can get $1.25 raw oysters and discounted chargrilled oysters. They also do a 2 for 1 drink special. You get a double for the price of a single! The frozen French 75 is so yummy!!

Things to Do

It's not a trip to NOLA without having fun! Here are some of my favorite spots to have a good time, or enjoy some people watching.
Every night you can enjoy live music with free entry at various bars up and down this street! My favorite night is Monday at 30/90 where a live band plays til 3a and people can request to get on stage and either sing or play an instrument. It's like karaoke for real musicians!!
