Cooking with Paula Deen

The Best Bites in the Big Easy

WHILE MANY VISITORS START IN THE FRENCH QUARTER—which is full of storied white-tablecloth establishments, jazz clubs, and po’ boys galore—the rest of the Crescent City is packed with Cajun, Creole, traditional Southern food, and more. If it’s been a while since you visited New Orleans, it’s time to come back and try some of the new kids on the block.

Finding the perfect home base in the Crescent City can make a good trip great. Located on St. Charles Avenue in the picturesque Lower () covers all the bases and then some. The historic 1927 property was renovated in 2016 and has amenities to spare. A few highlights from the 106-room hotel include a rooftop bar and lounge with stellar downtown views, nightly performances at the piano bar, and a charming breakfast nook.
