One of the coolest spots in Marigny. Grab a drink and listen to live music with locals and tourists alike. The bands are always amazing and the drinks are moderately priced. I've always had fun here!

Great place to listen to live music. The street is lined with live music venues, mostly free with a drink minimum. I frequent Frenchman St often to listen to friends play. The best time to go is around 7pm.

Very casual spot with lots of locals. Very reasonably priced and there’s always specials. I always get a shrimp poboy or boiled crawfish or shrimp with a daiquiri but there’s so much more.

This place has so much history and is famous for their fried chicken. There is usually a wait, but the lunch buffet is worth it.

Around the corner from Dooky Chase’s. This is a famous soul food spot known for fried chicken. This place is in all the tourist guides and the lines are almost always very long. You might want to avoid this place if just want a quick bite to eat.

Hands down the best fried seafood platter in the city. You get a lot more, better tasting seafood than you would from some of the more expensive places in the quarter.

Great, casual spot uptown to have drinks and let your hair down. They also have really good carribean food. Try the tacos too. There are several to choose from. Also, try the Painkiller cocktail.

Go here for raw oysters. Most people will tell you to go to Acme, but their more expensive and the line is usually longer.
