Close
your eyes and see if you can taste this: Northern
Italian cuisine deliciously combined with Creole and
Cajun cuisine, all under one roof. It’s the
oldest Italian restaurant in the city and probably
the most fun – TORTORICI’S, where the
turtle soup is graced with just a hint of sherry and
the antipasto is always fresh and created with four
generations of love and expertise. Nothing over-complicated
on this menu: try the locally-beloved Pasta Vongole,
angel hair, topped with sautéed baby clams,
roasted garlic, white wine and olive oil.
If you think you’ve had a true Italian veal,
Tortorici’s Veal Saltimboca may just convince
you otherwise. Tender veal is slice and folded with
fresh rosemary, Provolone, Prosciutto and glazed with
lemon butter sauce. By the time you see it the Italian
roasted potatoes and crispy, fresh vegetables have
been added. Best
of all it’s all perfectly portioned to allow
you to still enjoy the most perfect Tiramisu you’ve
ever tasted. Romantic, irresistible and over a century
old.

You’ve
heard about the incomparable New Orleans cuisine --
you’ve wondered what distinguishes it from say,
Peoria, or Poughkeepsie or Pompano Beach. After all,
a steak is a steak is steak, right? WRONG. Need some
proof? Get thee to THE EMBERS STEAK HOUSE and sink your
taste buds into perfectly seasoned flash-fried oysters
topped with garlic sauce, followed by authentic seafood
gumbo. Then take a deep breath, smell the aroma of a
freshly grilled 20-oz. T-bone or thick, juicy filet
or huge fried seafood platter.
The Embers Steak House sits on one of the busiest corners
of Bourbon Street, and features one of the largest wrap
around balconies in the entire French Quarter. If you
really want to see what all the hoopla is about, put
yourself above it all on the Embers balcony and just
watch. Think of it – a hearty burgundy, a savory
steak, overstuffed baked potato and the best live-action
show in town – it’s only at The Embers Steak
House. Right this way – your table’s waiting. |

Dinner
at the Embers was almost enough to write home about,
but the night is young. Just cross the street and
let THE KRAZY KORNER swallow you up for a full night
of everything you ever hoped the French Quarter might
be and so much more. Can one place offer the best
Cajun rhythms in town and then turn right around and
dig deep into rhythm and blues? Uh – yeah! Krazy
Korner can. Did you ever imagine yourself in a Bourbon
Street bar playing the washboard at 3 a.m.? We thought
so – here’s your chance.
The Krazy Korner is designed to let you go a little
Krazy, dance the night away, enjoy some Krazy cocktails
at moderate prices and meet some of the most offbeat
characters you’re likely to find in the city.
There’s only one way you can honestly tell your
friends you’ve “been there and got the
t-shirt.” But what will people say? Hey –
what happens at The Krazy Korner stays deep inside.

Okay,
time to ‘fess up – what did you really
come to New Orleans for? Come on – all together
now - HUGE ASS BEER! There is only one place in the
French Quarter you can get an OFFICIAL HUGE ASS BEER!
It’s The Steak Pit on Bourbon Street, the only
place you can find sweet potato fries or eggplant
fries to wash down your H.A.B. And we say buy the
t-shirt first at the door – Huge Ass Beers taste
so much better when your shirt announces what you’re
drinking. And stay for dinner, because if you’re
going to down a H.A.B. you need some Jim Bean barbecued
baby back ribs.
But before you dive into a full meal, try the jalapeno
peppers stuffed with seasoned crab meat. Chances are
you’ll need some more H.A.B.’s. And if
you’re planning a beer bash, order your beer,
t-shirts and go-cups from Steak Pit. Hey, you’ve
got to have something to prove you did New Orleans
right. Huge Ass Beers Rock.

Ask
many first time New Orleans visitors what they’ll
remember most about the French Quarter and you’ll
hear a chorus of “The Old Opera House.”
If you’re looking for music like Dwayne Dopsie
and the Zydeco hellraisers, or Jimmy Thibodeaux's Cajun
band, this is your place. And you don’t have to
wait until way after dark to hear it, because it’s
happening all the time, even during the 3-for-1 happy
hour in the late afternoon. Rhythm and blues, jazz,
Zydeco, chonk-a-chonk – everybody plays The Old
Opera House, where the atmosphere will remind you of
your favorite pub -- bare brick walls and all.
Even though it’s located in the heart of the tourist
district, locals flock to The Old Opera House. Some
of the biggest names in the music business go their
start at this club, and it’s not unheard of for
some of them to pop in and play a set with the band.
You wouldn’t want to miss that, would you?
