Food Scene
Many vendor inside this fabulous 'upscale' food court. Not upscale in terms of $ but just don't compare it to a mall food court. Each vendor specialized in a different cuisine or specialty : coffee vendor, desserts, BBQ, latin, oysters and seafood, chicken, etc. Go in with your whole group and everyone can get whatever they like and then all sit together either inside or out on the patio. All our guests find it really easy since you all get what you want and since you pay when you purchase your food, you can stay as long as you like. Everyone can find something to their liking and budget.

You'll need to take a cab, but it's pretty close by in the Bywater. Famous for brunches, so expect a line. I advise going BEFORE noon. Praline bacon, many styles of eggs benedict (on fried green tomatoes rather than the usual English Muffin), Duck Waffle - which is pulled pork mixed with sweet potatoes and topped with a pepper jelly on a waffle (sounds crazy but it's amazing!)

Call to find out if house band is playing Dwayne Doopsie is local Zydeco royalty (Rockin' Doopsie's son) Not too much live music on Bourbon Street (oddly enough) but they are high energy and a blast to see. Almost always there late afternoon, early evening..

EVERYONE loves this wine store / outdoor garden unfortunately so much so that it's become extremely busy.
Go BEFORE 6 pm to get a table outside. You can get a sensational cheese platter. Menu available for other food, but you may want to just get drinks and cheese then have full dinner later on elsewhere. In the Bywater. Requires cab or UBER
