This hole in the wall is a local secret for maybe the only Asian-Creole fusion food on the planet. Their menu is small and changes almost weekly-- their website offers a sample menu but you will have to stop in to see what they have. Unique, rich, flavorful food that you can't find anywhere else, at an affordable price.

This tiny goth bar is a really cool place to check out. Their signature cocktails are very good and the atmosphere is unlike any place you've ever been. In the early 90's in the height of the underground "Vampire" scene, this bar was the hangout of Louisiana's Vampire King and Queen.

Lafitte's is the oldest building in the United States that is operating as a bar. Try their "purple drank" and also their Hurricane-- they make their own mix so it is not as sweet and sugary as many of the other bars.
