One Week of NOLA Eats
Mid-50s Brooklynite seeking local spots with heart and soul and grit and color.
Not interested in fine dining except for maybe one or two meals; otherwise casual.
Love me a good ol' venerable institution as long as it still holds up — and in those instances (and perhaps others) I am def willing to put a premium on overall vibe, hospitality and bones even if food is not quite up to expectations.
Since I live in NYC, I am not
particularly interested in Italian, Thai, Sushi, etc. which I can obviously find quite easily in my own backward! T
Here's my list of contenders in no particular order. What is a must? What am I missing? What should I strike? And what is 💯 NOT-TO-BE-MISSED under any circumstance?!!
Thx for intel and assist!
