Having lived in New Orleans, spent countless days exploring the city, and worked right on Magazine Street, I’ve gotten to know some of the best spots around town! From hidden gems and local favorites to cute cafés, restaurants, and must-try bites, th...

The breakfast wrap is one of my absolute favorites. The atmosphere is so clean and fresh and all the food is spectacular.
The Daily Beet
As a New Yorker I can firmly approve of this bagel joint in mid-city. It is one of my favorite breakfast spots. I love the bacon egg and cheese on a sea salt bagel. Honestly you can’t go wrong with any bagel though. The entire place is an absolute vi...
Flour Moon Bagels
One of the best dinner’s I’ve had in New Orleans. A very unique French menu but everything I’ve gotten was exceptional. The atmosphere is amazing and the service was great.
MaMou
Went here for my boyfriend’s birthday and I loved the atmosphere. It has a dark moody vibe. The food was some of the best food I’ve had in the city. The wagu steak was amazing and the rabbit was as well.
Paladar 511
Easily one of my favorite spots to eat and have cocktails with friends at. The ambiance is amazing, vibe and music are great and it’s always a great time. I highly recommend visiting this spot if you are in the area or visiting!
Junebug
This is my absolute favorite spot in the city to get pho. I always get the chicken pho and the broth is AMAZING. They season it perfectly and is definitely superior to other pho spots around the city.
GILDA CUISINE
If you want a great night out, with a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Jolie is your spot. This is actually my personal favorite place to go out in New Orleans. It is notorious for its upscale crowd and drinks. Definitely a must go if you’re in the area
JOLIE
Hot Tin is definitely one of the most poppin bars for locals. It’s located at the top of a hotel with the most beautiful skyline view of New Orleans. It can tend to get pretty packed on the weekends but it’s definitely worth it to go. The drinks are ...
Hot Tin
Katie’s is top tier. Every single dish here is amazing. I don’t even have a favorite because every time I go I try something new and it becomes my favorite. From the pasta, to the specials, to the pizza, everything is phenomenal.
Katie's
Quite possibly the best donuts in the city. The creamsicle donut is my personal favorite. It’s the perfect place for breakfast as well. Always a great option for a sweet treat!
DISTRICT Donuts Sliders Brew
The best breakfast spot in New Orleans in my opinion, and probably everyone’s! The cat daddy is quite possibly the best breakfast I’ve ever had in my life. If you want something out of the box and straight up New Orleans, this is your spot!
BEARCAT CAFE UPTOWN
This place changed my life. It is the best fried chicken wings you will ever taste. Never judge a book by its cover. We order 100 wings at a time and all of my friends always kill them. Great for events to bring a dish to pass.
Manchu Kitchen
Don’t be sketched out that it’s inside of a gas station. New Orleans is different. This is quite possibly the best soul food you can ever get. The smothered turkey wings over a bed of Mac n cheese with a side of yams, and collard greens, might make y...
TRIANGLE DELI
This is my favorite lunch spot. I used to work on magazine street and would get food from here every day. The matcha beignet is to die for, and any of their sandwiches and flatbreads are also amazing. Their fries are like no other. Definitely worth t...
BEIGNETS. BUBBLES. BITES.-The Vintage Restaurant
This place always hits the spot. The Asian dumpling empanada is my personal favorite, then the artichoke, buffalo, and beef Argentina and crawfish etouffe. They are literally amazing. I would get this for lunch all the time when I was working in the ...
Empanola
The yummiest sweet treat stop you will ever have. I also love their lunch, the sandwiches and soup are amazing. This French pastry cafe always has the best fresh desserts and pastries for a great sweet treat at any time of day.
