Beignets: Cafe Du Monde. As much as it's a cliché, it is what it is. It's cliché for the right reason. They make coffee, chicory, and beignets. That's the menu

Cajun: Bon Ton is an awesome throwback to another generation's restaurant. It's all about the tradition. They won't share the recipe with the diner. They do great dishes the old way.
Old School Classic Creole: Dooky Chase. Ms. Leah Chase is a New Orleans institution in her own right, and a pillar of the African American community in New Orleans.
Best Fried Chicken: Willie Mae's Scotch House. It's right around the corner of from Dooky Chase. They're famous for their fried chicken. It started off as a Scotch house.
Breakfast: Elizabeth's. It's in the bywater section of Nola. It's right on the riverfront in an old house. The food they cook there is what every breakfast should be like.
Late night breakfast: Camellia Grill is a late night dive. You get everything from an omelet to the really greasy top grill burger at that time of night.
If you go to New Orleans, you need a po' boy. We live for our sandwich shops. The Parkway is located on Bayou St. John.
Snoballs: Hansen's is known for their creams and other great flavors. I'm a purist. A lot of people like the chocolate snoball doused with condensed milk.
Italian: Eleven 79 is that old style Sicilian style restaurant. They used to exist in greater numbers than before.
Raw bar: Our oysters are almost a deity in New Orleans. We love these things. Luke does the best job of sourcing oysters along the coast of Louisiana and a number of East and West coast varieties.
