Commander’s Palace
One of the city’s great restaurants. Until Hurricane Katrina, it was the oldest continuously-running restaurant in the country. After the hurricane, they completely rebuilt it, restoring much of the original lustre. Their Jazz Brunch is legendary, and I just adore their genteel Southern hospitality.
