Grab a bite!

New Orleans is a foodie's paradise. Here are some of our favorites around the French Quarter and Marigny, but don't be afraid to venture further out:

- For beignets, Cafe du Monde is classic, but if the line is too long check out Cafe Beignet

- Napoleon House can't be beat for classic New Orleans fare

- Drinks in the Quarter: Not hard to find in general, but we like Harry's Corner as a true dive, or Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop for a dose of history

- Drinks in Marigny: Anna's, Pepp's Pub, or the Elysian Bar at Peter & Paul (reservations recommended!)

- Looking for live music? Head to Frenchman St. any time - we'll be making our way there after our reception!
