Perfect, except I do it in reverse. Carousel for two drinks and Galatoires after for one more drink and dinner

Buy from central grocery and save til next day. Always just as good next day. I buy them to take on plane home and have following day. delicious..

we were there for lunch 12/06/2012. when did this happen?

Need a moderately priced restaurant in Fulton street area. attending miracle on Fulton street on a Sat. night in dec. any sleepers in that area I don't know about. Going to Mr. Johns on Friday and Galatoires on sun.so something a little less formal and a little less expensive.

we had it at Galatoires last year and it was excellent. we're going this year also.

I'll be in NOLA in December. Will any restaurants be serving soft shell crab or is the season over?

the answer I was looking for. Thanks to all. Going to 9/11 memorial first to pay my respects. I miss working in NYC but glad I left before the tragedy.

thanks for replying. I like the dining room they feature on the website but don't know if it is upstairs or downstairs..

have reservations next Sat night. First time. Where should I ask to be seated? Need a regular to guide me. It's expensive which I don't mind but don't want to be treated as a tourist.
Thanks.

Mr. B's for lunch(cheap bloody Marys)

Commanders Palace(.25cent Martinis at Lunch)

This is exactly what we did Xmas week. $1.50 bloody marys and asked for vodka and tomato juice and worchestshire, hot sauce celery salt and lime on the side and mixed our own. The bartenders were fine with it.

I think eating healthy in NOLA would be considered an oxymoron. Or a waste of time. Try Berkeley.

You don't necessarily have to sit all together, since you'll be with each other all day long. maybe you could book 2 tables of 8 or 9 and go to any restaurant you want. After a few drinks you'll all be visiting with each other anyway. Check out the scene at Galitoires on a friday afternoon.

I heard that Galatoires has a new chef.. Any buzz yet about good or bad.

Does anyone know if you can order a prime rib dinner at the bar of the Rib Room, or do you have to eat at a table. This will be on Sunday nite just after we arrive in city ?

no, but go to various websites for
galatoires. they usually have pictures of the waiters. Maybe you'll see him and post picture. someone will know him

galatoires for sure. classic and delicious. even the tourists on bourbon street can't ruin it.

I was also disappointed with the oysters rockefeller.I could only taste the goop on top of these tiny little oysters. I was expecting something on the order of a "casino" style dish served sizzling on the half shell. These were,well "yuch".

Galatoires without a doubt. everyone should eat there once before they die.

You'll have to be more specific. Tell us what you like and we'll guide you.

Had a wonderful time at Hermes Bar at Antoines inexpensive,fun and delicious.

they all know of Emeril,so one of his restaurants would be good.

I always have at least one breakfast at the Coffee pot.

Sorry I wasn"t clear. We're Married but she's from Boston and really never visited NYC since we met after I left New York for Florida. We're only in New york for 3 nights and One night we're meeting friends at Gallaghers for steaks and one night at Melon for light dinner so I have that one night open for something different.

that sounds right.. We have a decision for sat. night,should we go for the view of Times Square at night or Balthazar for the in crowd and ambiance. Help! She's a first timer and I worked in the financial area for 20 years.

Has anyone eaten at the revolving restaurant at the Marriott Marquis? I know it will be touristy but that we expect. I don't want to be taken advantage of though. I realize it will be expensive which I don't mind as long as we're not just plain ripped off. We go to New Orleans often and the restaurants and waitstaff could not be nicer, but I hear New York waiters can be awlful knowing they will never see you again,and assuming you're not a sophisticated tipper.

Has anyone eaten there and is it any good? The website makes it look nice for a chinese restaurant.

Luke is terrific

Probably not, but high school kids walk around with more than $20.00 in their pocket
