Interesting restaurants near the Palmer House
My wife will be in Chicago next month and is looking for interesting restaurants near her hotel, especially Italian and Steakhouses .
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Restaurants outside of New Orleans
You might want to venture up to Baton Rouge. For fine dining there Mansur's on Corporate Blvd, try the chargrilled oysters. For a high decibel LSU experience try Chimes near the LSU north gate, lots of fun appetizers and a great pint of Abita Turbodog.
Downtown, the Capitol Grill has good food in a pleasant setting. Have a drink or two across the street at the recently reopened refurbished hotel (name escapes me!).
Check out the Shaw Center for Performing Arts. Always something interesting in a terrific venue.
Enjoy your stay. I lived there 5 years and miss the people and the place.
Frozen artichoke hearts?
One of my favorite soups is Oyster & Artichoke. Frozen artichokes are perfect. Search around on Chow and you'll find discussions and recipes, especially the New Orleans board.
Mandinas in New Orleans makes a wonderful version. I've also made it with shrimp or scallops for friends not inclined towards oysters.
24th birthday gathering delima...
Hi Peach!
Just saw this, don't know if I missed the event. But anyway, I would recommend Mandinas in Midcity. Great neighborhood place, lots of kids, casual and reasonable. Try the artichoke & oyster soup.
Happy Birthday!
