Given your handle, you probably know: is there anything worth checking out near Harrah’s?
thanks!
I’m in Zürich at the moment, so I’ll let you Google or Yelp my suggestions.
Both of these are fairly close to Harrah’s. Harrah’s is technically in the CBD and these two places are in the Warehouse District, which is contiguous to the CBD.
St. James Cheese - lunch, on Tchoupitoulas St.
Balise - lunch or dinner
BTW, don’t let anyone try to convince you to go to Central Grocery for a muffuletta. There are much better places for that scattered around the city.
Honestly, for dinner, I’d be in the Uptown area, especially, since you’re a former chef.
DTB, on Oak St.
Bistro Daisy, on Magazine St.
Boucherie, on Jeannette St.
In the Bywater, I’d recommend Red’s Chinese on St. Claude Ave. for the General’s Chicken or the Cheeseburger Fried Rice. Lunch or Dinner. It was recently featured on Diners, Drive Ins & Dives. There’s kind of an interesting little story about Red’s that isn’t suitable for FT. I love it!!!
Let me get my head on my normal time zone and I’ll try to get back to you.
