There's always a good band. Bookings shade toward folk and Southern rock, so the music is different than what you'll hear on Frenchmen Street.

Food Scene

This is not the easiest place to get food. Its take-out only and open from 5-9 on Thursday-Sunday. They only cook enough so that they'll sell out before close. All this aside, ARS might be the best food in the city dollar-for-dollar. Everything is spectacular, bordering on gourmet. Pick up some food and bring it back to the Rambler. You'll be glad you did.

Very typical New Orleans neighborhood bar and restaurant. Grab a beer to-go for a ride on the ferry. Solid po' boys. Everything is pretty good and reasonable. Expect a good example. Don't expect to be blown away.

A wonderful New Orleans institution. The coffee and beignets are cheap and good. Beautiful views of Jackson Square from an 1850s building. Super crowded tourist attraction, but its open 24/7. Locals tip: go late at night after drinking. The grease will work wonders.

Butcher's parent restaurant. Our favorite, updated Southern and Cajun cuisine, “cochon” means pig in French and the menu is slanted in that direction, fancy ambiance and so, so delicious, not that expensive for what you get, make a reservation. $$$

Getting Around

$2 gets you across the river and a great view of the city. Save your money on the steamboats and just take this into town.

Catch the green streetcar Uptown here for a ride past the mansions of St. Charles Avenue. The red streetcars go either to the cemeteries or City Park, both worth your time as well.
