Located near an entrance to Crescent Park, Paladar 511 is one of Lori's favorite meals in town. Not traditional New Orleans cooking; check their menu online. You can sit at the kitchen counter here (table seating also available), which makes it a nice place to dine solo, too.

Super cute spot, if only for a glass of wine. N7 does not serve traditional New Orleans food; they specialize in "can-to-table" (caviar, other canned goods) that are imported from all over the world. Fun to find: there aren't a lot of lights or signs, which makes it feel extra special once you step inside the big wooden gate.
