Galatoire's

[Vick]

and he was under 50 !!

And didn't look like he could work in a funeral home during the day?

There are so many incredible opportunities for excellent dining in New Orleans
The short list in no particular order (with the exception of Commander's Palace all are in the French Quarter)

Galatoire's -
Brennan's
Bayonna
Commander's Palace
Arnaud's
Irene's

there are so many more that could be mentioned here

and that's not including hole in the wall places like Coop's, Clover Grill and Angeli or anywhere you go for a po' boy or Muff

and not to forget botulism heaven 3 in the morning favorite - any Lucky Dog cart

The only places I will say NOT to dine are anything on the corners around Jackson Square - terrible for tourist garbage

and I hang my head that Lucky Cheng's is gone
