eat at Dick and Jenny’s on Tchoupitoulas (cross street Napolean – uptown area)!! It is fantastic, and they have a seasonally changing menu, so there are a variety of new dishes on the menu every four months. Its a creole restaurant with an extremely creative menu. Plus the atmosphere is really nice, its like eating in the dining room of a new orleans house, and if you have to wait, there’s a great “front porch” area where you can order drinks and sit on porch swings.

I’d also recommend Domilise’s for Shrimp po-boys… It’s on Annunciation, which runs parallel to Tchoupitoulas, near the cross street of Jefferson (uptown area). Its a tiny place, but oh so good.
