NOTE: This restaurant is located in Orleans Parish, so by Mayoral Decree, at the time of this writing you need to be vaccinated against COVID or have a very recent negative test to dine inside.

Elizabeth’s, New Orleans, LA Report #369

I’ve been wanting to try this place for some time. We actually ended up in this neighborhood trying to eat at a different restaurant, but it was closed. According to Google it opened at noon, but they really opened at 4:00 PM. Never trust Google. I should have known better. Nice looking little place with…

Red’s Chinese, New Orleans, LA Report #278

I heard this place had great food.  I used to work in this neighborhood, but haven’t been down this way in some time.  I couldn’t remember seeing a Chinese restaurant in this area, so I got the address.  3048 St. Claude.  I’m driving down St. Claude, in the direction that the address numbers are increasing. …

Jack Dempsey’s, New Orleans, LA Report #124

  I never say anything about myself but here’s one tidbit of information.  I’m a retired New Orleans Police Officer.  That’s pertinent because this place is located three blocks away from the now defunct New Orleans Police Department 5th District Police Station, which was the first place I worked when I joined the NOPD in…

Pizza Delicious, New Orleans, LA Report #7

New Orleans isn’t a pizza town like New York or Chicago, so when I saw a social media post asking who had the best pizza in New Orleans and the vast majority of the respondents said this place, I had to go check it out. Cute little place with a real (I think) Italian (that’s…
