Easy to miss... look for a stenciled N7 on a wooden gate. Bon Appetit called it "The most romantic French restaurant in the world is 4,792 miles from Paris" and it's a short walk from the house. Known for their "can to table" appetizers , but its also a great spot for Steak Au Poivre, Pork Katsu or Steamed Mussels, and and the wine list is well curated. https://www.bonappetit.com/story/n7-new-orleans

Local spot... menu is seasonal and reasonable. Taco Thursday is one of my favorite night to hit it up (I get the burrito super-chupacabra half and half carne and carnitas). Also a great brunch spot that's off the radar of the brunch crowd

Best pizza spot in town, they sell by the slice or the pie. They do bike delivery to the neighborhood during the day, which is the cure to a lazy day after a night on the town.

This is my go to when people are in town and they want Cajun or Creole food... there is usually a wait, but its quick and worth it. Honestly everything is good, but I love the Rabbit & Sausage Jambalaya and the Chicken Tchoupitoulas (bonus points if you can say it right)

Creative Chinese fare made with a southern spin.... You can get almost everything small or large... I get smalls when I want to have a bunch of different "tastes" and think that's the way to go. Again everything is pretty fantastic but I like... Craw Rangoons Ginger Scallion Noodles Shrimp Fried Rice General's Chicken Brussels Sprouts I also love the Daily Daiquiri - which could be anything from a Horchata to Green Tea
